My love for a chocolate chip cookie runs deep. 
But I'm particular… To me, the perfect cookie should be thin, almost lacy, with a crispy edge and a soft center. I want to taste the caramel of the brown sugar, with not-so-subtle hints of salt, vanilla and butter. The dough should be the real star of the show- the chocolate chips are an added bonus, but totally optional. 

There’s no shortage of premium cookies in New York, but the ultra thin cookies I love so much are far and few between. 

I never would have called myself the baker of the family, that’s a title we reserved for my dad. But then I had a baby, lost my job, and seemingly lost my mind because…I started baking… a lot; testing and tweaking my recipe, the ingredients and even the pans I used (apparently it matters!). Batch after batch my cookies got closer and closer to being my version of perfect and I’d package them up and give them away to friends, family and neighbors, because how many cookies can you possibly have in the house at one time? 

Then, in January of 2024, my daughters teacher asked if she could purchase a dozen of the cookies I had given to her over the holidays and in that moment Heathcote Bakery was born.
