I was in the neighborhood and I swear my car drove itself to the Red Rooster Baking Co. in Guilford, Connecticut. The gourmet premium cookies produced here by the loving hands of Kimberly Anatra Welch are out of this world. They are among the prettiest I’ve ever seen, and each one is like a small cake. There is some kind of secret ingredient in the dough that makes the cookies rise high. Kimberly of course is keeping that to herself.
On the day I stopped in, Kimberly was in the middle of making a couple of batches. Among her 16 flavors, she especially loves the Lemon Poppy Sugar cookies, okay understandable. Kimberly, a Mom of two, works very hard in her beautiful space to turn out these goodies, but says it’s so rewarding to make people happy with cookies.

Behind the counter, you can see the work that’s going on, all fresh ingredients and huge amounts of dough is baked into each cookie. You can even call ahead and have her make the dough and you can pick it up and bake them at home. Of course you can tell everyone you made them yourself. Did I mention you can order these goodies on line, well you can, just in time for any holiday. I have such respect for those folks in Connecticut opening and running their own businesses. A tip of the hat to Kimberly Anatra Welch.
