We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Osborn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
As a full-time teacher, I understand how demanding and stressful the profession can be at times. In search of a creative outlet, I discovered cookie making and it quickly became a meaningful passion. I began by taking a cookie decorating class and soon found myself experimenting and perfecting techniques at home.

Baking allows me time to unwind, turn on some music, and channel my energy into something joyful and creative. I find great satisfaction in crafting unique, heartfelt treats whether it’s for friends and loved ones or for customers looking to share something thoughtful with someone special. It’s a rewarding way to spread a little sweetness and connection, one cookie at a time.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
This cookie business began as a creative side project and a personal outlet. It has been a way to bring joy through something both meaningful and fun. While I’m still developing my skills and refining my techniques, I approach each order with care, creativity, and a commitment to learning and growing. I’m transparent about where I am in my journey, and I truly value the opportunity to improve with each batch I bake.

What drives me most is the joy of creating something people love especially cookies that reflect the spirit of holidays, milestones, and special occasions. Whether it’s a festive celebration, a thoughtful gift, or a custom design for an event, I enjoy making treats that help create memorable moments. This journey has already been incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to seeing how it continues to evolve.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The Fort Worth area offers a variety of wonderful destinations, but I would personally choose places that hold special meaning to me and that I frequent regularly.

First, one of my favorite spots is Kava Culture in North Fort Worth. It’s a welcoming and relaxing environment that is perfect for connecting with friends, meeting new people, and taking time to recharge.

Next, there would be Lupe Tortilla, known for its exceptional beef fajitas. It’s a go-to spot for great food and a lively atmosphere.

After that, we like family-friendly fun at Alley Cats in Hurst. My son especially loves playing arcade games and earning prizes. It’s always a hit!

Lastly, Lifetime in the Alliance area is a fantastic place for health and wellness. It offers a wide range of activities, including yoga, pickleball, and more, making it a great place to stay active and engaged.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There are countless people I’m grateful to for their constant love and support, but two individuals stand out above all and that is my husband and my son. From the very beginning, my husband embraced this passion project with enthusiasm and quickly saw the potential for us to build something meaningful together. We combined my creative vision with his analytical strengths. He designed my website, set up my Instagram and Link Tree, and he continues to produce custom cookie cutters that bring my ideas to life. He has been a true partner, both in life and in this endeavor.

My son also plays a special role in this journey. He shares my love for creativity and enjoys spending time in the kitchen with me, decorating cookies and exploring new ideas. It’s become a cherished way for us to connect, create, and bond. He’s also my trusted taste tester, always honest about which cookies make the cut. Their support means everything to me, and this journey wouldn’t be the same without them.
