Denver7 visited the shop on Tuesday afternoon. DENVER — In downtown Denver, it’s easy to miss. Just look for the big building called the Temple Artist haven. It sits in its shadow.Jennie Ngo can’t keep her hands out of the cookie jar, but she is the one filling it. Denver7 Jennie owns the Colorado small business called The Flour Shop, which is so small, Liv Rodriguez is her only full-time employee.“Jennie makes all the recipes herself,” Liv said. “She’s very creative.”Cookies include flavors like lemon lavender, brown butter oatmeal chocolate chip, and white chocolate cranberry. Jennie Ngo "I was the manager at a big plumbing company, and I had to deal with the customer complaints, and it was very negative. I always say here — it's just cookies — and everybody’s happy," Jennie said.Jennie and her best friend started The Flour Shop with no expectations. They began by making cakes and cupcakes and scones for friends. Then they created the lemon lavender, and thought maybe they should stick to cookies."I’m very risk-adverse," Jennie said. “So, we’ve never taken out a loan. We did it because we wanted to do it. It was my happy place.”She has since bought out her friend and will now not only focus on deliveries, but her tiny storefront near the corner of Curtis Street and 24th Street downtown. Denver7 The Flour Shop always hears from customers, like the hospice patient who wrote them and thanked them for the lemon lavender cookie. She said it was the only thing she could keep down and the only thing she wanted.Jennie jokes that they’re not changing the world making cookies. But, maybe, they are.
