About Dough Babe

I spent fifteen years in tech startups. Good salary, good benefits, a career I was competent at. I'd have logos designed, Instagram handles I'd reserved, business plans I'd written, but never acted on. All of them for a cookie company.

Someday kept moving.

Then staying started costing more than leaving. Not just financially. The kind of cost that shows up in how you feel on Sunday nights. I'd spent fifteen years building something for other people. I wanted to find out what I could build for myself.

Dough Babe is what happened when I stopped moving someday.

I'm a minimalist. In my home, in my design taste, and it turns out, in my cookies. I don't believe more is better. I believe the right things, done with intention, are better. Every cookie on this menu earned its spot. Every ingredient has a reason. Nothing is here just because it photographs well.

I bake once a week, in small batches, from scratch. I ship on Monday so your cookies arrive fresh. Denver locals can pick up Sunday while they're fresh out of the oven.

This is the thing I kept putting off. I'm glad I stopped.
