What's the Story?
The power of a chewy, homemade chocolate chip cookie is undeniable. Just the smell of freshly baked cookies can take you back to your childhood—a time when all it took was one bite to cure any worry away. Today, if that inner child could speak, we’re pretty sure it would say, “I want Cookie Monkey.” And that’s exactly what Cookie Monkey strives for: to feed the inner child in all of us.
Cookie Monkey owner/baker and self-proclaimed cookie connoisseur Marisa Scime started off like most successful companies do—with a passion. It was her love of baking (coupled with being able to fit into her favorite pair of jeans) that led Marisa to experiment with her grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. After substituting a few ingredients for healthier options, she eventually created a “better-for-you” chocolate chip cookie that was lighter on the calories, but still heavy on the sweet-sweetness.
Experimenting meant loads of leftovers. And what do you do when you want to get rid of food? You bring it to the office the next day and share with co-workers, of course! And since word can travel fast around the office, before she knew it, Scime was asked to bake for every birthday, holiday and event on the calendar.
Marisa quickly began to notice a child-like happiness come over her friends and co-workers with every bite. That’s when she knew she had a responsibility to spread the love and her delicious, oversized cookies.
So go ahead, spread the love that is Cookie Monkey. And while you’re at it, treat yourself. We promise this will be the yummiest cookie you’ve ever tasted.
