Amber "Frosty" Halzle has been Penguin Ed's in-house baker for nearly half a decade, and she really knows her stuff. Knight just can't say enough about his master baker. "I am truly in awe of her," says Knight. "[Amber] has taken it to a whole 'nother level! Jut her ability to hold a standard, and her tenacity," he continues, "she just goes above and beyond the call of duty." Arriving at 6 a.m. every morning, she diligently and meticulously begins her day baking Audrey's cookies. "You really can't be mad about getting up early to bake cookies," she laughs. Halzle knows how important the cookies are to Ed and his regulars, and after explaining how she is sort of a control freak, she adds, "when you bite into that cookie, you want it to taste just like you remember. We make them fresh every morning, and consistency is everything." Halzle is passionate about baking, and she literally holds the key to Audrey's secret family recipes. Her favorite, like so many of Ed's cookie-lovers, is the Chocolate Chip Toffee Pecan; but she let me in on a little secret: the Neiman Marcus is the best "breakfast" cookie, and it goes perfectly with a cup of coffee. Although their barbecue brings in most of their business, many people swing by just for the cookies. They're really that good. Call ahead to get a custom cookie cake made fresh in any of their 11 flavor varieties and iced with scratch-made icing by Frosty herself. The M&M cookies are popular with kids, and they make everything from double chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin to white chocolate apricot and snickerdoodles on the daily. If you happen to be near Penguin Ed's B&B location, go all-out and get a couple of their unique fried pies and take home a dozen of Audrey's cookies.
