I’m not going to lie, I was pretty excited to hear we were reviewing Over The Top Gourmet Cookies. Their shop is practically down the street from my house and I always wanted to stop in and try one of those enchanting cookies I had seen pictures of. Every time their ad comes in the mail it taunts me.

Rachel first got her idea for her gourmet cookies when thinking of a recipe to take to a church picnic. Needless to say, they were a big hit! Always an entrepreneur at heart (she sold suckers at school in the 6th grade) and wanting to share her lack of moderation in baking, Rachel began Over The Top Gourmet Cookies in 2003.  They specialize in outrageously tasteful gift baskets and in addition to their cookies, offer a selection of Triple dipped apples, triple dipped pretzels,  and gourmet cocoa.

Over the Top Cookies is truly a family business. Rachel is the mastermind behind the baking spending late nights and early mornings in the store’s kitchen making sure ingredients are prepped, dough is mixed and each and every cookie is baked to perfection with love in every one. You may chance to meet her son “the front man” who works at the store after school. Even all the brochures and menus are designed by Rachel’s husband.

Their charming shop opened in November 2008. A visit will delight your eyes with Jars full of gumballs and displays full of giant cookies exploding with toppings.

Did these cookies delight the taste buds as much as the eyes? Stop by Wednesday for the official Over The Top Review!
