Why These Work for Cottage Bakers
These flavors are fantastic for cottage bakers because not only are they shelf stable and require no refrigeration, but they are unique, thick, and showstopping...not to mention full of flavor and will keep customers coming back for more. These base doughs and cake balls are very versatile as well, so they can be interchanged and are not limited to one cookie flavor.
These also allow for great batch prepping...you can make multiple batches of dough/filling, and refrigerate the stuffed dough balls for 2-3 days so they are ready to pop in the oven!
