I will start: Peapods Cookies, www.etsy.com/shop/peapodscookies
Opened in Dec 2011 (when I still had a full-time fashion job)!

Peapods yours is one of my favorites on etsy! You were an inspiration for me!
I've been on Etsy for a whole three months!
I've been on etsy I think for a little under a year, but I've only just started really focusing on it over the past few months.

So sweet!!! That makes me so happy 
My Shop was officially set up last July of 2012. I think I created the account in 2011, but was overwhelmed by the time it took to upload and create the listings so I waited until I had a little bit of time (yes, life is busy!!) 
Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat
I set mine up a while ago, but was not able to do anything with it until the cottage food law was passed here July 1st of this year (Whoo Hoo!!)
Now, I am really starting to focus on my shop.
Hello, lovely to see all your lovely Etsy stores. Didnt realise there were so many cookie sellers on Etsy. Really should do cookie treasury or two
I set mine store up back in Sept 2012 - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NilaHolden?ref=si_shop
So far so good

I set my shop up on etsy in the Fall of 2010. At the time, I had never heard of etsy and didn't expect anything to come from listing a few sets of my cookies. I was astonished at the amount of business that was generated. Today, four years later, 98% of my cookie business comes from etsy. It still amazes me. :-)
I was wondering if there were any Etsy cookie shops that use glaze icing, instead of royal icing. I use glaze and thought that might be a unique option to customers. I've tried to search for glaze icing users, even searching, using the words "corn syrup" but no luck. Does anyone know if I'm missing something?
Im also wondering if you have a Facebook cookie page, or web cookie page, is your pricing consistent with your etsy page? It seems no one charges less than $36/doz on average on Etsy. I have found that for my location I cannot charge that much, but clearly, opening it up to the continental United States, I could charge more. Not sure how to handle that.
I opened up my etsy shop in October 2011, but had closed it down for a while when I was pregnant. After that I was just busy with the new baby and focusing on him. I just recently opened back up and am now getting into the flow of things.
Sweets by Stephie - You need to post a photo of your turkey cookie on cookie connection! It is adorable!
Ruth Dunn - I love your bicycles with flower basket. You should share them on cookie connection!
I actually just found out about Etsy! I have just started my business January 2014. I was on Etsy to check it out and notice some cookies are going for an average $30 per doz! My cookies are going for less on my website, should I post my cookies on Etsy for the same price I am selling them on my site for?
I started my Etsy shop late 2013 and thought i would mainly use it as a way to show my work to friends. I have to say that I would like more traffic, if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. I get a lot of my business locally but wouldn't mind getting more business.
I am. I've been there since 2010 I think, but I've been selling online since 2001 in the other places. I am currently on vacation, since my sales are slow during this time, but will return after the holidays. I'm definitely not your competition, but my products might just be your friends.

What really surprises me how many sell on Etsy and are not legal (in other words, your state does not allow online selling). I would love to do this but cannot without a commercial kitchen. I love to look at all the beautiful cookies on etsy.

Ditto!! I would love to sell on Etsy, but the Cottage Food law in Florida does not allow online sales sadly. 
I was very surprised to see how many people were selling their cookies on Etsy - stores that I am pretty sure do not have a commercial kitchen.
I actually lost out on an order to a woman selling cookies on Etsy - she offered to do the order at a much cheaper price for advertising purposes. And I know for a fact she does not have a commercial kitchen and operates under the Cottage Food Law in her state. What's even more surprising is she has well over 500 sales on there! So frustrating for those of us trying to play by the rules!! Ok rant over
Definitely! Plus the prices being sold on eBay seem to be higher priced vs selling face-to-face. Well, at least we know we are doing business the onset and ethical way!
I'm gearing up to start selling my cookies and was wondering what the sale vs views/likes ratio is for those of you on Etsy. Also are any of you Etsy fans selling on other sites?
might be the wrong thing, but not sure if i could sell on etsy. I would love to sell them there since i have no clients of yet besides family. How would i go about setting one up?

You probably should start a new forum thread, as your question is about something related to but pretty different than the initial post. It's also unlikely people will see your new question at the very bottom of this long post.
In the meantime, here's one of many online posts about how to open an Etsy shop (https://www.fundera.com/blog/opening-an-etsy-shop). I can't vouch for its accuracy, but at least it's a starting point.
Best of luck!
