\nA new cookie shop, Abby\u2019s Cookie Jar, opened in October at 128 Glen St. in Glens Falls.
\nOwner Ashley Kopf said during the first weekend \u201cwe had a hard time keeping up with inventory… Many were curious about the new store front.\u201d
\nWhen she was a little girl, Kopf watched her grandmother bake. Ultimately, she went into education, taught music for three years, then completed a master\u2019s degree. Kopf was cooking out of her home kitchen when she decided to take specialty cookies to the next level.
\nThe space at 128 Glen St. fit their budget, she said. It had been a cell phone store previously and not equipped with anything for baking batches of cookies or pastries.
\nKopf said her husband is a handyman so he did much of the renovating by himself.
\n\u201cWe did hire a local plumber to install a three-way sink to wash, rinse and sanitize,\u201d she said. \u201cFortunately no walls needed to be moved and we worked together on the decorating.\u201d
\nThe shop has different flavor offerings, but the signature cookie is a vanilla dough with the texture of shortbread and topped with vanilla-lemon royal icing.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not crumbly and it\u2019s not crispy,\u201d Kopf said. \u201cIt is a perfect, evenly baked cookie.\u201d
\nThat type of baking is good for creating logos, custom designs and specialty orders Kopf said she enjoys working with clients to personalize their cookies.
\n\u201cThe custom process is a ton of fun,\u201c she said. \u201cMy favorite is when the client isn\u2019t sure about what they want.\u201d
\nKopf faced some challenges starting a company in the time of COVID-19.
\n\u201cDeliveries were delayed and some items went out of stock, pushing back the opening,\u201d she said. \u201cI thought I could open Oct. 3, But I needed more time.\u201d
\n\u201cA lot of people In the community were pulling for us,\u201d she said. The closing of school for a time because of the coronavirus also helped.
\nAbby\u2019s Cookie Jar has a current maximum seating capacity of 19.
\n\u201cOnce we have a steady stream of dough ready to roll, we would like to do custom cakes, too,\u201d she said.
\nThe company can be found on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
