The Amazing Cookie

Collette Divitto has invented a cookie that she dips in cinammon.  Yum!  Her friends and family told her they were so good that she should sell them and that is exactly what she has set out to do.

Collette was born with Down syndrome and faced multiple obstacles in finding a paying job.  Employers would express positive feedback about her qualities but also express that she still was not the right fit.  So what was there to do?  Collette became her own boss and started her own business about what she is passionate about, cookies.

A goal Collette has for her delicious business is to have her cookies in stores across the country.  She recently made her first client, a local market that will have her cookies sold in store.  Way to go Collette!  Next she is currently seeking an investor to help her business grow.  Follow the link below to read more about her inspiring story.
