Are your cookies very good? Do people come around to your house to eat your cookies no matter how rude you are to them? If so go for it, if not well I'd be thinking about something else, the snack food market is incredibly competitive and done to death. Even worse, say you do get it working whats to stop someone else opening a cookie shop next door? As others have said business schools are made for this sort of ahem 'cookie cutter' business model. Run the numbers and if you think it will work well go in with both eyes open and good luck. If there's three of you why not two get a job and the third run the shop full time, get some cheap student labor for busy times and as it takes off the other two can wind up their other jobs, or if your IT guys get short term contracts and rotate even if its wildly successful it will be a year or two before it could support 3 people full time.
