Backed by a pastry chef — my mom.
Meet Our Technical Advisor: My Mom
Most batches have to pass the toughest (and kindest) critic I know—my mom.*
She’s a trained pastry chef. And while she’s not in the kitchen with me every day (she lives in Seattle), she’s the reason I know the difference between good and right.
She helps with flavor checks, honest feedback, and keeping things real.
If a cookie makes it past her? It’s ready.
*Occasionally, I go rogue. She gets a vote, not a veto. It keeps things interesting.
* Occasionally, I go rogue, and a batch makes it past her anyway. It keeps things interesting.

This Cookie Is… was born somewhere between a marketing layoff and a late-night moment of, “Wait… what if I just made cookies instead?”
Not just any cookies — but ones with a little memory baked in.
Flavors that feel familiar in a way you can’t quite place.
Soft centers. Crisp edges. A little nostalgia. A little honesty. And a whole lot of attitude.
Based in Portland, Oregon, this brand is rooted in small-batch, one-of-a-kind (kinda) cookies that don’t pretend to be perfect — because people aren’t either.
Each cookie is crafted with care, clarity, and just enough drama (okay, sometimes a lot of drama).
Each drop is limited — because not everything is supposed to last
Listen, I’m not here to build a cookie empire. Just a little kingdom. One cookie at a time.
Created by Damian.
Still figuring it out. Probably always will be.
But the cookies? They’re getting there.
