Sherry Green first started baking to stay busy during the pandemic.
“I would make them, and people would comment and say, ‘Make me some cookies and I’ll pay you for them,’” she said. “Or they would reach out wanting to have them delivered.”
Now the 54-year-old Amani resident has started her own business. Sherry’s Chicago Style Butter Cookies LLC became official in mid-October.
It’s a labor of love for Green, who works as a special education teacher for Milwaukee Public Schools.
