Greetings Cookie Lovers! My name is Barbara Weniger and I am the owner of the Cookie Time Bakery. When I was growing up in South Dakota my mother always baked cookies and I was eager to learn how to make them myself because I wanted to eat them, of course! It’s true that I never planned on owning and operating a bakery and have no formal training, but I know what makes a cookie taste great. In 1991 I bought a small wholesale bakery and I started with just a few recipes and a few wholesale accounts. Every year the business grew and in 1997 I opened a retail store next door. Now I have a wonderful staff that loves to eat cookies just like me!
