Hi all,

I want to start a business making cookies. I have all kinds of flavors in mind. I want to know, when you start a business like this, do you have to create your own recipes to use? Can you use recipes from cookbooks, internet, etc to sell in a business. Is that stealing? I love to bake (thats why I chose this). But, I have never made up a baking recipe on my own.
Thanks for the help

It isn't stealing if you use recipes from any source, that's why they are put out there, for people to use.

You can use recipes out of a cook book although you must change the name as this would be copyright. For example, there are many different types of chocolate chip cookies in the world except they all have different names

You still call them chocolate chip cookies
