President & CEO | Monica's Gourmet Cookies
In 1991, while confined to bed rest during a high-risk pregnancy, Monica Mitidieri had grand visions of owning her own cookie company. During this timeframe, her catering company was on pause, but after a healthy delivery, she found herself back in the kitchen. After dozens of batches made, and though hesitant to share, she added a new addition to the gourmet lunches she provided: a chocolate chip cookie.
Over time, requests for her cookies became so frequent that she bid a sweet farewell to her catering company and launched Monica’s Gourmet Cookies.
It took Mitidieri years to duplicate each batch to perfection, but the fruits of her labor paid off. What once started as a one-woman show grew into an incredible team and drop-shipping 52 varieties of individually wrapped cookies across the globe.
Mitidieri’s goal is to feed the world one cookie at a time. And while she’d like to sell one day, she’s not done yet. With more exciting cookie news on the horizon, you can keep up to date by following Monica’s Gourmet Cookies’ social media accounts and newsletter.
