a bit of joy
one cookie at a time

Come in, watch us ice a cookie, and stay for a round of Ms. Pac-Man. Everybody’s welcome.

What sets us apart

We build every cookie from its own base recipe. We’re fussy about texture, and we want each one to be its own perfect form, not one dough with different mix-ins. When we call it a key lime pie cookie, it’s really going to taste like key lime pie.

Our flavors are rooted in this community. A neighbor tells us about the cornmeal cookie their grandma used to make, and we figure out how to put it in the case. That’s why it’s worth $3 a cookie instead of a $3 pack at the store, every one is handcrafted, unique, and made to mean something.

Co-Founders, Altadena Cookie Co.

Two friends who met at a mommy group and got a little too into cookies. We started out of our home kitchens in 2020, and what began as a hobby turned into a full-blown obsession.

We spent nights testing doughs, chasing the perfect chew, and arguing over exactly how much salt a chocolate chip cookie needs.

Eventually we opened our Altadena shop to do it for real. We’re serious about the baking and not too serious about anything else.
