OUR STORY:
Our little story begins, when our sweet-toothed founders met at university. They soon found they both had the knack and passion for creating delicious, sweet things, so they set out to bless the world with something truly mouth-watering.
They had made the perfect cookie dough, which was nothing like the world had seen before.
With a top-secret recipe (hush hush!) and a one-of-a-kind baking method, MyCookieDough was born. Our cookie dough is freshly baked, with a soft gooey consistency that makes the taste buds squeal in delight.
