Their cookies are crafted with love and care, ensuring every bite is a delightful experience.   Sue Potts was a home economics teacher at Portage Public Schools for 30 years and had a cult following for her decadent desserts.  After perfecting the recipe, her daughter Kristi launched her own cookie business, with her mother’s assistance.    The cookie shop is at 1502 South Westnedge (the former Dairy Queen and Taco Bob’s). The new business was supported by City of Kalamazoo Economic Development Department and nonprofits like Michigan Women Forward.
