BaseballCookies — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 17:09:13 +0000

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

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.

Cooperstown Cookie Company baseball cookies and baseball caps are available to purchase online at www.CooperstownCookie.com, by phone, 888/269-7315, and at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and select retailers nationwide. Several Major League Baseball teams also are customers, including the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals.

Meet Anthony Gargiula

BaseballCookies — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:26:27 +0000

We’re very excited to tell you about a young singing sensation that we met recently in Cooperstown. His name is Anthony Gargiula, and at age 11 he’s already appeared on The Ellen Show, Today Show and is the youngest person to ever sign at Carnegie Hall. His YouTube video, taken when he was only 7 yrs old, shows him singing the National Anthem at a Siena College basketball game. This summer, the National Baseball Hall of Fame invited him to sing the National Anthem at the 2010 Baseball Induction Ceremony. Anthony tells us one of his many goals is to sing the National Anthem at all the Major League Baseball stadiums in America. He already sang the National Anthem for the Red Sox, the Minnesota Twins and the L.A. Dodgers.

Anthony loves our baseball cookies, so when he was in Cooperstown this summer he made this video in front of Doubleday Field.

Anthony has just released his debut CD titled “Finally Done,” available for purchase on iTunes.

A short clip of song titled “Game Over” from Anthony’s new CD! Enjoy!

So happy to welcome back baseball. This spring has been busy here at the Cooperstown Cookie Company. Our new Camden Yards Stadium tin has been a big hit with Orioles fans. This tin joins the popular Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Vintage Yankee Stadium and Cooperstown/Doubleday Field tins. Through April 10, we’re running a special, filling the stadium tins with bite-sized Bunts, and a peanut butter filled chocolate cap. What a great way to start of the season.

Last week, I was on the Syracuse, NY based WCNY Connected, where I got to chat about how the company started, our great tasting baseball cookies and the new baseball season. You can watch the clip.

And, our friends at the Food Network re-aired the Unwrapped feature on the Cooperstown Cookie Company. Every time this episode airs, we make new baseball cookie fans. I love it! Catch it on YouTube, or see it when it airs again on April 8 at 11:30 pm ET/PT and April 9 at 2:30 am ET/PT.
