Half Baked Cookies started the way all the best recipes do – from scratch. Back in 2021, before our first shop opened on Day Road in Lockport, every single cookie came fresh out of our founder Angie’s home oven.

As we’ve grown, we’ve created a space where everyone feels welcome, sourcing ingredients from our local community, and putting as much care into our take-home treats as we do into the ones you eat right here.

When we say “made with love,” we’re talking about the whole dang batch.

Mom of Sage, Sunny and Beau
Owner of Half Baked cookies

As a lover of cookies, Angie noticed a gap in the market. While some places played heavily off of 1950s & ’60’s nostalgia, and some served up good cookies in a very eclectic–even hectic–atmosphere, there was something missing. There was nowhere a mom could eat a heavenly cookie, the warm and moist kind of cookie that transported her to her childhood, while relaxing in a simple and welcoming environment, away from the demands and noise of everyday life.

So she set out to change that. And she did.

And while her passion–and her taste buds–lie in the kitchen, and her professional background in business and finance have helped for sure, it’s the organizational and management skills she’s gained being a mom that’ve made the difference in realizing her vision and setting Half Baked Cookies up for long-term success.

FYI Angie’s favorite cookie to make is the Classic Chocolate Chip, but her favorite cookie to eat is The Boss (S’moreo).
