With The Cookie Jar, Hannah Swensen has a mouthwatering monopoly on the bakery business of Lake Eden, Minnesota. But when a rival store opens, tensions begin to bubble... As she sits in her nearly empty store on Groundhog Day, Hannah can only hope that spring is just around the cornerand that the popularity of the new Magnolia Blossom Bakery is just a passing fad. The southern hospitality of Lake Edens two Georgia transplants, Shawna Lee and Vanessa Quinn, is grating on Hannahs nervesand cutting into her profits.
At least Hannah has her business partner Lisas wedding to look forward to. Shes turned one of Lisas favorite childhood treats into a spectacular Wedding Cookie Cake. And Lisas aunt will be bringing her famous Peach Cobbler to the reception. But Hannah starts to steam when she finds out that Shawna Lee has been invitedand is bringing her own Peach Cobbler.

Hannah doesnt like having the Georgia Peach in the mix, especially when both Shawna Lee and Hannahs sometime-boyfriend, Detective Mike Kingston, are no-shows to the wedding. Hannah has suspected that Mike is interested in more than Shawna Lees baking abilities. So when she sees lights on at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery after the reception, she investigatesand finds Shawna Lee shot to death.
