I wanted to expand my horizons and start “working” on something I was truly motivated and passionate about…something that fulfilled me and those around me…which is how Cookie Monkey was born.

But, first let me back up.

I always loved to bake, I am a sweets fanatic (to me, nothing is better or harder to resist than a mouth-watering chocolate chip cookie). So, a few years ago started experimenting with a family cookie recipe to create a “healthier” yet super-delicious version, that wouldn’t feel so guilty after all those hours in the gym.  So, I started baking my cookie creations for friends’ birthdays, special events, and work functions. And people went crazy for them- they really are delicious, if I do say so myself. From there, the cookies started becoming the “specially requested” deserts at these events. Then, one day in particular I was told by someone who tasted them for the first time, “you should sell these.” And then that’s when the light bulb went off. 

See, I was killing myself to find my passion, when it was right in front of me the whole time. This is what I love to do, and my goal in creating Cookie Monkey is to share my love for baking, delicious cookies and passion with the world (or at least Miami for now)….
