At The Cookie Jar Eatery, pie isn't just a dessert; it's a labor of love, dedication, and family traditions. Today we had the pleasure of sitting down with Elaine Koch, the Owner and Lead Baker, to uncover the secrets behind the delectable pies that have become a hallmark of this charming eatery. Perfecting the Dough: Elaine's journey into the world of pies wasn't always a smooth one. As a self-taught baker, she candidly shared that perfecting the pie dough at The Cookie Jar required a fair share of trial and error. "I had to throw a lot of dough away before I got it just right," she admitted with a smile. It's a testament to her commitment to delivering nothing short of perfection to her customers. Understanding the subtleties of the dough was a learning process. Elaine emphasized the importance of finding the optimal mixing time, revealing that the key is to strike a balance—ensuring the dough isn't too wet. This attention to detail is what sets The Cookie Jar's pies apart, making them a delightful experience from the first bite to the last. Personal Favorites: While every pie at The Cookie Jar is crafted with precision and passion, Elaine has her personal favorites. The Coconut Creme and French Silk pies hold a special place in her heart and palate. These choices reflect her refined taste and appreciation for the intricate flavors that make each pie a unique masterpiece. Bestseller: Sour Cream Raisin: Among the array of tempting pies offered at The Cookie Jar, one standout has captured the hearts and taste buds of customers—the Sour Cream Raisin pie. This bestseller boasts a perfect blend of creamy richness and sweet raisins, making it a must-try for anyone seeking the epitome of pie perfection. Pies and Family Traditions: When Elaine thinks about pie, she doesn't just envision delicious desserts. For her, pie is a symbol of family, warmth, and cherished memories, particularly during the holidays. The act of coming together to share a slice of pie is more than a culinary experience; it's an opportunity to create lasting moments that transcend the dining table.

At The Cookie Jar Eatery, we've always believed that the key to a successful business lies in its willingness to adapt and grow. And what better way to embrace new horizons than by adding the rich aroma of specialty coffee to our repertoire? In a remarkable twist of fate, our recent move to a new location unveiled an unexpected treasure—an espresso machine waiting to be unleashed. In this blog post, we invite you to join us on a journey of transformation, one that not only marks an exciting new chapter for our beloved eatery but also showcases the remarkable spirit of our co-owner, Glen. At the age of 70, he embarked on a quest to master the art of coffee-making. But this is just one part of Glen's inspiring story. He's a testament to the fact that it's never too late to try something new, as he also took the bold step of joining a church book club despite never really being a reader his whole life. Together, we'll explore the journey of The Cookie Jar Eatery into the world of specialty coffee, discover the warmth and flavor that our latte's, Americanos, and drip coffees bring, and reflect on the power of embracing new experiences. So grab your favorite cup of coffee (or tea if that's your thing) and let's dive into a tale of reinvention, passion, and the joy of trying something new. At The Cookie Jar Eatery, we pride ourselves on doing simple things really well. While we've introduced a few new beverages to our menu, we've maintained our commitment to heartwarming, no-fuss, and comforting flavors. In addition to classic favorites like lattes, Americanos, and drip coffees, we've added something special that's close to our mid-western roots – Chai Tea Lattes. Our Chai Tea Latte is a blend of familiarity and a touch of exotic warmth. It's like a cozy hug in a cup, just like your grandma's comforting recipes. We've seen our customers smile with delight as they savor the familiar flavors and the inviting aroma of our Chai Tea Lattes. These additions aren't about being fancy or exotic; they're about sharing warmth, tradition, and the essence of what makes mid-western cuisine so special. Join us as we celebrate these heartwarming changes, where you can find a taste of home alongside our delicious cookies and treats.
