Schmackary's Cookies, The Official Cookie of Broadway, is currently holding its 2nd annual "Broadway Bakes" fund raiser from May 26-31. Schmackary's is located in the heart of the Theatre District at 45th and 9th Ave. in Hell's Kitchen.

At left, check out adorable husband and wife team Audra McDonald and Will Swenson, who donned aprons to lend their support to the worthy cause on Wednesday!

Some of the biggest names on Broadway, including Sutton Foster, and Laura Benanti, along with about 20 other stars, will work behind the counter each afternoon this week selling cookies to Schmackary's customers. Half of the sales and all of the tips generated while the Broadway stars are working at Schmackary's will go directly to Broadway Cares.

"Last year was one of the biggest things we've ever done. People were tipping the stars $20, $50, even up to $500 to get them to sing, dance, or give away signed memorabilia. Our customers absolutely loved it," says Schmackary. "In just two years, the growth of our little cookie store has been incredible and soon we'll be expanding to a 2nd and 3rd location in the NYC area. From there who knows where Schmackary's might go! Since the very first day we opened, the theatre family has been there supporting our business with open arms and we have them to thank for much our success."
