Satisfy your Sweet Tooth with Kenosha Awesome Cookies

Posted on February 1, 2021 • by Morgan Hyatt

Fresh-baked, warm and delicious cookies are the perfect sweet treat after a long, chilly day — or any day, really! That’s why we’re so excited to launch Kenosha Awesome Cookies. KAC’s youth program, Voyage, is learning the highs and lows of starting a business by preparing and selling cookie baking kits. 

Cookie baking kits cost ten dollars and consist of one 32-ounce mason jar filled with the dry ingredients needed to make your favorite cookies. Four different flavors are regularly available, including:

• Triple chocolate chip
• White chocolate lemon
• M&M 
• Chocolate M&M 

Program participants voiced an interest in learning how to run a business. This idea fits nicely with one of the program’s goals of increasing independence. KAC staff provided the support and resources needed to move forward with the idea. After excitedly brainstorming with the team, Kenosha Awesome Cookies was born. Program participants developed the business name and logo and insisted on baking and taste-testing each flavor to ensure quality. Now, they strategically plan their day to allow time to purchase supplies, assemble kits and fulfill orders.

Everyone is enjoying the opportunity to practice and develop new skills with the hope that they can make enough profit to support a group outing. With time and effort, we believe Kenosha Awesome Cookies will be able to stand as an independent business owned and operated by one or a group of its original founders.
