I had the opportunity this week to chat with Dhea Hudson owner of Okie Dough. Dhea has a great story. A lifetime educator and wife to a high school football coach. Dhea has spent her life around kids, as a teacher and now school councilor in Owasso Oklahoma. Dhea and her family would cook for the football players and   of course would bake cookies. Well you know how impatient hungry boys can be. They started digging into the cookie dough and BOOM. The idea struct Dhea, why can't I make cookie dough without eggs? After some trial and error the first recipe was complete. Chocolate Chip. 8 months later Okie Dough was in the Chesapeake Arena candy stands and quickly becoming one of the most popular items.
