Favorite cookie flavor:
It depends on my mood.

Favorite thing to bake:
For me, baking is something I do for friends and family as an act of love. It gives me so much pleasure seeing someone enjoy something I baked…whether it’s cookies, banana bread, a cake or biscuits.

On a Friday night, Gretchen is:
With my family.

Who inspires Gretchen to #BeAGoodCookie?
Clearly, Liam is always my North Star but I do what I do because I know Liam’s expectation is that we would help other kids.

This is a picture of me and my husband, Wallie (on the left) in Paris, our second favorite place on earth after New York City.

Favorite cookie flavor:
Chunky Chocolate Chip (honestly, I love, love, love all cookies - but am particularly partial to a good chocolate chip!)

Favorite thing to bake:
Baking is not in my repertoire. But appreciating the product of good baking is my specialty—with an emphasis on carrot cake, brownies, and—of course— “good cookies.”

On a Friday night, Steve is:
Doing something cultural in NYC—theater, an independent film, or an off-beat performance.

Who inspires Steve to #BeAGoodCookie?
I am inspired every day by the people who surround me who face challenges with a smile and courage.

This is a picture of my husband, Daniel, my daughter, Gwendolyn, and me on Gwen’s first birthday. It’s really more of a family selfie since this was taken while social-distancing!

Favorite cookie flavor:
Mint Chocolate Chip

Favorite thing to bake:
I love baking anything and everything, but if I had to choose one thing it would be banana bread.

On a Friday night, Gayla is:
I’m typically spending time with my family. We can usually be found walking around a local park, playing with our dogs in the backyard, or watching a movie

Who inspires Gayla to #BeAGoodCookie?
I am inspired by the 43 children who are diagnosed every single day with pediatric cancer. We have to keep fighting for better and less toxic treatments for each one of them.
