About

What began in 2015 as a passion for TCU football, the arts, and a desire to teach the foundations of entrepreneurship to our children- grew into another passion: designing and baking delicious cookies. 

Living in the shadow of TCU's Amon Carter Stadium brought considerable gameday traffic and an excitement to our neighborhood each football season.  We already had a permanent giant horned frog in our front yard, so a Gameday "Future Frog Fund" Cookie Stand seemed an ideal complement for our children to experience entrepreneurship.   The children would assist each week in the baking, decorating, and packaging of our original horned frog cookies.  Then on each gameday they would sell the cookies to passersby.  Each of our children learned how to work a cash register, interact with people face to face, and earn money for college.

Our original few dozen cookies for each gameday quickly evolved into a week-long baking frenzy within our home kitchen the week before each home game. Our loyal customers would fight traffic or walk over from the stadium to our cookie stand to purchase their cookies before we sold out each game.  As our children grew older, they began to deliver cookies to many of the tailgaters at the stadium and we began to become known as "the people with the cookies". At this same time, visiting teams who would park at our house or walk by on the way to the stadium made regular requests for their team mascot cookies.  As we added these additional designs and began accepting custom orders in advance of visiting team games, the seed for The Cookie People business began to sprout.       

Our focus today remains the same as when we started.  We strive to make exceptional sugar cookies for special events, birthdays, weddings, graduations, or any special occasion.  As a cookie often reminds people of happy times, our goal is, and has always been, to bring a smile to your face.  We use only premium ingredients and make a cookie that looks good AND tastes great.   Our cookies are individually packaged to eliminate breakage and are topped with a softer royal icing with a cookie that’s not too hard for your teeth.  With our recent expansion and commercial kitchen, now every day can be GAMEDAY!
