COMMACK, NY — Kim Kornfeld's cookies have more fans than she could have ever imagined. What started out as her baking for friends and family — most notably, her husband, Alec — has turned into a startup business where stuffed cookies are sold throughout Commack and beyond. Kim has always been fond of baking. It's a skill she learned from her mother, who made sure Kim grew up surrounded by sweet treats. Eventually, Kim began baking classic chocolate chip cookies for her husband, she said. "Alec was always saying to me, 'Why aren't you selling these? They're really, really good,'" Kim, 30, told Patch. "I always made the joke that he's just biased and has to say that; he's just being nice. But then all my friends and family said the same thing." When the coronavirus pandemic hit, and everyone was effectively isolated in their own homes, Kim and Alec began experimenting. She made Italian rainbow cookies from scratch and began stuffing them into larger cookies. Thus, The Kookie Jar LI was born in June. Click here to read the full story.
