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).
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.

About This Cookie Is
Our Four Core Pillars
Handmade cookies with flavor, feeling, and a little mystery.
Each cookie’s handmade and small batch... no, they aren't perfect, but they'll taste great.
Not Your Grocery Store Cookies

Sketch, test, taste
Each cookie starts with an idea, then gets tested, tweaked, and taste-checked until it’s actually good.

They started as sketches. Now they’re ready for delivery. (Portland only to start... sorry)

Most cookies are here for a limited run. But new favorites might stick around for a while. Don't panic.
