I've known Gerry Hunter from almost the moment we arrived in Dallas. Her birth certificate would reveal that she is deep into the senior citizen category. Her appearance and spunk would deny both of those entirely.
Gerry has such a talent for making cookies that she was all but forced into doing it full-time a few years back. She has all of the fancy bakery equipment and ovens at her swanky home in Richardson, and she makes dozens and dozens every day to satisfy her call-in customers.
And buying direct from Gerry is the only way you can get these round and plump morsels.
With the holidays just what seems to be moments away, I thought I'd introduce you to Gerry Hunter. Great place to get what will be much-appreciated tins of cookies for family, neighbors, clients and those who made you life better in 2008.
By the way, if you're not too far away from her home, Gerry will deliver in her gold Mercedes.

Good morning Bill! Myrtle Beach definitely needs a Gerry. Someone who will bake fresh cookies and then hand deliver them? Sounds too good to be true! Thanks for sharing.
My goodness...Myrtle Beach....I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in years! Great place.
Bill
Bill: Did you say COOKIES ? Where can I get them... does Gerry have a website ? I will give her a call and get the scoop. Anything for a good cookie. Thanks for the tip.
Karen, you just buzz her. I know she's big with the Net and email and high-tech, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a web site.
She's a pistol and you'll like her. She and her cookies are VERY famous over this way.
You have to give us ALL the information...I would send someone in Richardson some cookies...how do we get in touch...does she take plastic..website ?
Bill,
Good morning, I don't have much of a sweet tooth...but there are some days when I just have to have me a good peanut butter cookie! And you can't beat homemade cookies either...It's really sweet of you (no pun intended) to share Gerry with the rest of us!
Bill,
In high school I worked for a weekly paper, our job was to say nice things and make as many people look good as possable. Our paper made people feel good, your post so often take me back, Thank you!
Send Rebecca a dozen peanut butter, send me two dozen oatmeal with raisens, please!
Bill

Bill - What is your favorite cookie that Gerry makes? Her gold Mercedes? OMG The Cookie Lady drives a gold Mercedes I'm in the wrong business.
Carl and Ceil and Everyone Else,
I'm writing this in boldface on purpose, to make sure as many as possible read it.
Miss Gerry makes some sort of decadent chocolate chip concoction that is like nothing you've ever eaten. They are my favorite.
With respect to the gold Mercedes, she's a bit on the loaded side.
She and her husband, now deceased, had a very profitable business. And Miss Gerry is a fabulous saleswoman. She's among the top 5 I've ever known. And super well organized -- a person who can get the job done. Very dependable.
Also, in her house she has a couple of rooms that she calls the Presidents' Rooms. There she has items collected from every presidential administration from George Washington forward.
School kids from all over are bussed there for field trips, to see the stuff and to have Miss Gerry explain the concept of patriotism.
And while they are there, there is an endless supply of just from the oven cookies....
She's a Dallas icon.
Bill
Big Bill
That's really a nice compliment. Thanks for that.
Bill
Bill - I like the fact that she has the means to share her home and most important to allow field trips and present to the kiddo's the meaning of patriotism. The homemade cookie is an extra and I'm sure they will have a vivid memory of both the field trip and the homemade cookie.
This is a great, great blog Bill. It has grown from cookies and a gold Mercedes to a Dallas icon.
Thanks again.
