Food Network’s Unwrapped to feature Cooperstown Cookie Company 1/22

The popular Food Network program Unwrapped will feature the Cooperstown Cookie Company on January 22 at 9 pm EST.

Cooperstown Cookie Company offers custom tins of baseball cookies for every Major League Baseball team

Baseball cookies come packaged in your choice of MLB licensed tins, as well as the National Baseball Hall of Fame gift line.

The episode “Game Day Goodies,” is hosted by Marc Summers. Unwrapped provides a behind-the-scenes look into America’s favorite foods.  A crew from Unwrapped filmed the episode onsite last November. “It was a great experience,” says Cooperstown Cookie Company founder and CEO Pati Drumm Grady.

This is the second time Unwrapped has featured the Cooperstown Cookie Company. Grady said every time that episode, which first aired in May 2007, is shown, they get a jump in sales.

“There is something special about our baseball cookies that really resonates with people,” says Grady. “We’re a small company based in Cooperstown, the home of baseball, and our all-natural cookies are based on my family’s

favorite shortbread recipe.”  Grady says the company’s baseball cookies are popular as gifts, and as favors for baseball weddings and birthdays.

Baseball and great food are two American favorites. They come together at
Boston’s Whole Foods Symphony, which is just steps away from Fenway Park.

I was at this Whole Foods recently, and had the pleasure of offering tastings
of baseball cookies from the Cooperstown Cookie Company. I met lots of
great people, including these two little Red Sox fans.

Whole Foods in four states now carry our Baseball Cookie Bunt Packs. The Red
Sox branded Baseball Cookie Bunt Packs are one of our biggest sellers.
People love the look, the grab ‘n go convenience, and the tasty baseball
cookies. Twenty-one Whole Foods in Massachusetts, including all three in Boston, carry our
baseball cookies.

Family Circle highlights Cooperstown Cookie Company

Did you catch the May issue of Family Circle? In an article titled “Have a Ball” the Food News editors highlight our “baseball-inspired” treats. They talk about our delicious Classic Baseball Shortbread baseball cookies, as well as our milk- and white chocolate baseball caps, “festive gift sets” (great for Mother’s Day) and also our Classic Baseball Cookie Mix.

We’ve been getting lots of calls and orders from Family Circle readers, we’re so glad for the opportunity to reach out to new customers and friends. Once people try our baseball cookies and chocolate baseball caps they are delighted. Cooperstown Cookie Company delivers not only on baseball fun, but on incredible taste. As one friend (and customer) recently said, “It’s not just a baseball novelty, it’s a gourmet treat, the fact that you combined the two is a winning combination.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Here’s the article, from the May 2008 issue of Family Circle, in the Food News section by Katie Kemple, page 178.

Cooperstown in Winter, part II

In Cooperstown, our winters last long enough to merit at least one more post…

I love to cross-country ski, I have a favorite path along Otesego Lake. The air is so crisp, and the scenery continues to take my breath away (or is that the cross-country skiing). I think now would be a great opportunity to mention how good Cooperstown Cookie Company shortbread baseball cookies pairs with hot chocolate. My favorite pairing is hot cocoa and our All-Star Almond Shortbread, yum!

 

Do you have a favorite pairing with Cooperstown Cookie Company baseball cookies? Let me know.

PS. The Cooperstown Cookie Company was featured on Mohawk Valley Living a popular local television show that showcases the best in our area, check it out on YouTube.

Valentine’s Day (or any day!) Baking with Kids

Baseball Baking Fun

I have great memories of baking with my kids. Baking is a fun activity for a special event (Valentine’s Day is February 14!) or to make a weekend afternoon or snow day feel extra special. I’ve found kids love to bake for others. Bake a special treat for Dad, Grandpa, a teacher, baseball coach or a favorite aunt. Bake for a neighbor “just because…” In our busy times, the care taken to make a homemade gift is truly appreciated.

Special memories with my kids led me to introduce the Classic Baseball Cookie Mix through the Cooperstown Cookie Company. You can buy the mix alone, or with a handmade tin baseball cookie cutter. We started by offering a bite-sized baseball cookie cutter, but customers asked us to add a regulation baseball size cookie cutter. We were happy to oblige.

Valentine’s Day is a great time to make some homemade baseball cookies. You might want to sprinkle some red hearts on your baseball cookies. Bake up a batch of cupcakes, ice with red or pink icing, and place one of our Bunt cookies in the middle of each cupcake.

Or, for a decadent treat, dip our baseball cookies in chocolate, yum!

We’ve found the baseball theme is a great way to interest kids, especially boys who don’t realize how much hands-on fun baking offers.

Of course, if you’re short on time, the Cooperstown Cookie Company will be happy to send a just-baked batch of baseball cookies to your special someone.

Baseball Cookie Baking for Valentine's Day or any day

Hello world!

Pati Drumm Grady, Cooperstown Cookie Company Founder and PresidentHello. Here I go jumping in with my first post. I’m Pati, and keep very busy with the company I started a few years ago, the Cooperstown Cookie Company. We make delicious shortbread cookies in the shape of baseballs. My simple idea, baseball cookies from baseball’s hometown (Cooperstown, NY), has taken off. We’ve had great press, on the Food Network’s Unwrapped, Rachael Ray picked us as the “Snack of the Day” (on July 4th no less—the perfect day for cookies that celebrate the national pastime).

With this blog, I will talk about baking, celebrations, event planning, food shows as well as baseball and life in Cooperstown, NY. I also look forward to connecting to Cooperstown Cookie Company customers, and giving you updates about our business.

We have partnered with the National Baseball Hall of Fame to create a new line of baseball gifts, Baseball…Anyone Can Play. I’m really proud of this project, which features the artwork of Lonni Sue Johnson. All profits from Baseball…Anyone Can Play benefit Pathfinder Village. A special part of our business is our commitment to doing good as we do well, so I’ll also be telling you about our work with Pathfinder Village, a residential community for children and adults with Down syndrome, and Human Technologies Corporation, the nonprofit organization that packages and mails our cookie tin orders. Human Technologies Corporation is a company of diverse businesses committed to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities and others who have barriers to employment.

I welcome your comments and posts.
