Summary

Boy meets girl。 Boy falls in love with girl。 And, on one fateful December day, girl stands up boy and then bakes him a batch of apology cookies。 The rest is history。

Building Tiff’s Treats has been a love story unlike any other for these husband-and-wife entrepreneurs who began a two-person operation from their college apartment and grew it into a business that employs thousands and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars。

Their highly anticipated debut book, It’s Not Just Cookies: Stories & Recipes From The Tiff’s Treats Kitchen, invites readers to experience just how Tiffany standing Leon up on a date led to the pair creating an on-demand, baked-to-order, WARM cookie delivery brand--the first of its kind。

What started as a simple apology with a warm batch of chocolate chip cookies ultimately became a way of connecting people through warm moments。 

"We’ve realized that we get a front-row seat to human nature at its best, with cookies as the conduit," Tiffany and Leon say。 "And we’re excited to share some of these stories。"

They’re also excited to share RECIPES!

For the first time ever, It’s Not Just Cookies is releasing fan-favorite cookie recipes, complete with full-page, full-color photos, so readers can bake Tiff’s Treats at home!

In the book, you’ll also read about the:


Highs and lows of 20 years of entrepreneurship--while being married to your business partner
Guiding principles Tiffany and Leon have used to overcome adversity
Lessons they’ve learned along the way--mostly the hard way
Inspiration that will help you find your own sweet success。
Early on, Tiff’s Treats co-founders Tiffany and Leon Chen remember being asked the critical question: "What are you going to do, bake cookies for the rest of your life?"

Yes, the answer is absolutely "yes。" And so much more。

So, grab a cookie or three, follow Tiffany and Leon’s amazing journey, and create some warm moments of your own!

I mean who doesn't right?! It's the only place where you can get delicious and warm cookies delivered right to your door。 As a fan of the fan, I was super excited to get to know the founders of the business。 The story starts off by describing how Tiffany and Leon met。 Readers soon learn that a mishap with a date led to the creation of the idea for Tiff's Treats。 I really liked that they came up with an idea in college and just went after it。 Sure they worried about failure but they let their hopes and dreams take charge。 Through their ups and downs, Tiffany and Leon's shared experiences will show that sometimes you don't always have to have everything figured out to a T before starting a business。 Of course, mistakes are going to happen but their message of trying to not make that mistake again stands out。 Two of my favorite parts of the book are the recipes and warm moments。 Every recipe looks so good and is easy enough for inexperienced bakers! The warm moments in this book represented the feedback and warm messages received from customers。 I liked seeing how a single delivery of cookies could mean so much to people and was part of a lot of memories。I give It's Not Just Cookies 4 stars。 I love a story about underdogs beating the odds。 This is such a good book if you love the brand! And for any entrepreneur of any age, I think this book will be helpful will all the helpful advice and wisdom! I can't wait to start making some of these recipes!! 。。。more

I received an e-ARC version of this book from NetGalley and the publisher。“It’s Not Just Cookies” is by the owners (Tiffany and Leon Chen) of Tiff’s Treats。 It basically tells the story of how they started their business, built their business, balance family and business, and include some lessons they’ve learned - along with some treat recipes。Having never heard of Tiff’s Treats, I literally decided to read this book for some cookie recipes and learn more about their business (meaning how they s I received an e-ARC version of this book from NetGalley and the publisher。“It’s Not Just Cookies” is by the owners (Tiffany and Leon Chen) of Tiff’s Treats。 It basically tells the story of how they started their business, built their business, balance family and business, and include some lessons they’ve learned - along with some treat recipes。Having never heard of Tiff’s Treats, I literally decided to read this book for some cookie recipes and learn more about their business (meaning how they started, what they sold, and decisions they made along the way)。 This book reminds me of what I would call “hey kids, let put on a show” type of business - where things are rather like “we have a general idea of what we’d like to do - let’s go ahead and make it work!” That’s not a bad thing, but back in the late 1990s it was a bit more possible to do things that way - now it’s a lot more difficult to get traction in the way they did it (something they mention too, which was appreciated)。 I liked reading the backstory, but felt at times there wasn’t a lot of depth - and that could be walking a fine line between “this is a business 101 book” and “this is our story about our business。” The included recipes are noted as not being exactly the same as in the stores (I appreciate the note!), but they look like they’d be tasty to try at home。 。。。more
