Minnie's Cookies is named after my mom, Mary ("Minnie")—the best baker I have ever known. I grew up with the smells of fresh baked bread, pies and cookies coming from the kitchen. Usually taking on the part of taste tester and beater licker (a role I took very seriously), I stood in awe of the delicious foods she would make. My mother has always been my inspiration for baking and taught me everything I know today. After she passed away in early 2016,  I decided to honor her memory by naming my business after her. I'm convinced the reasons her baked goods were so delicious and amazing were because they were made with careful measurements, detailed recipes, and always, ALWAYS, made with love.
