one bite and you'll see why we're famous. 

"I don't want store bought cookies, I want Ashley's Famous Cookies." 

​

This is the phrase that I constantly heard whenever my mother had cookie cravings. I was going through a rough time in my life where I felt lost and uncertain on a lot of things. So I always took it as a way of my mother trying to make me smile. 

​

My first child was born at the end of 2016 and cookies were the only thing I craved after my pregnancy. I've always had a passion for baking and decided to make cookies from scratch since I was eating them so much. What started out as a way to fulfill my cookie cravings, turned into the best thing that ever happened to me. 

​

We often doubt ourselves and become blind to our own greatness. However, when you have enough of whatever it is you are going through, you will change. A little over a year later I decided to create a few flavors, pack them up and take them to my brothers' basketball game. I asked all of the basketball moms to taste them and they said the cookies were delicious! After that it was history. Before I knew it, I had a couple of orders a week and by the end of the summer I was filling a couple of orders a day! 

​

Five years later, Ashley's Famous Cookies has grown tremendously. We have shipped to every state in the country, published a recipe book, been on national news and many other platforms. Every so often I hit a new bump in the road but I refuse to let it stop me. Things aren't always sweet but the cookies are a reminder that the simple things in life can be.
