Mrs. Fields Cookies can be found in hundreds of cities across America, and around the world.  It's one of the largest names in the snack food industry.

It all started back in 1977, when Debbi Fields and her husband started a small business selling homemade-style cookies.

It grew into a major enterprise, which Debbi Fields sold in 1993.

When I met her in 1996, she had just published a book of dessert recipes -- traditional classics ti which she had added the Mrs. Fields touch.
