Description

History

Established in 1983.

Dough-​to-​Go was created in 1983 — the result of a mom, Betsy, who was disgruntled in her job — and her 12 year old son, Scott, who was tired of her complaining. «Let’s make cookie dough,» he said. Betsy let the idea roll around in her brain for a while, and decided to go for it. She met someone who was interested in jumping on the cookie dough wagon, and together they made batches of cookie dough until the desire to eat it raw was gone. Recipes were perfected via a mixer, the size of a small country, in Betsy’s kitchen. A bakery supplier saw potential, and even pulled a huge semi truck in front of her house to drop off a 100 pound bag of flour, which we thought would last a lifetime. It didn’t. Vanilla comes in gallon jugs? Never knew that. We learned from our mistakes, most of the time, and kept reaching for that brass ring on the Merry-​Go-​Round of the food business.
