Forget Me Not Cookies


Wendy Spencer - Owner

630-379-7166 / forgetmenotcookies1@gmail.com

I am a mom of 3 grown daughters (we just had our first wedding of the firstborn) and married to husband John of 25 years. We attend Christ Community Church in Aurora, and serving my customers is very important to me! I love to teach others how to bake as well. For me, baking Cookies is a way to bring a smile to someone’s day!

I have been baking for years and just a few years ago I found myself with 3 grown daughters (how did that happen?!!) and I needed something to do. So I decided to do what I love-bake! It is so much fun to connect with all my customers at pickup and I love hearing how the cookies are making their celebrations even more special! I also have always loved teaching so i also offer cookie classes about 3/4 of the year.
