History

My Cookie Cottage began as a small, home-based operation rooted in a love for baking and a passion for creativity. For over 20 years, I delighted in baking for friends and family, turning simple ingredients into beautifully decorated cookies that brought joy to every occasion. What started as a personal hobby quickly blossomed into something more when word spread, and the demand for my custom cookies grew beyond my inner circle. Friends would ask me to make cookies for their special events, and soon, I found myself fielding requests from people I had never met. Encouraged by this growing support and a genuine love for what I do, I decided to transform my passion into a formal business. In February 2023, My Cookie Cottage was officially born as a licensed cottage bakery, dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality cookies to the community.

Michelle 

Baker, Cookier, Mom, Teacher

Hi, I’m Michelle, the heart and hands behind My Cookie Cottage, a home-based, small-batch bakery located in Carpentersville, IL. My journey into the world of cookie decorating started in the most unexpected way, rooted in family, creativity, and a bit of serendipity.
Years ago, as a busy mom of two young kids, I often found myself in the kitchen with my daughter, baking up treats to share at their school, sports, and theater events. It was our special way of bonding and adding a personal touch to their activities. As my daughter grew up and left for college, I found myself with more time on my hands, and my passion for baking began to shift. I started creating sweet treats for family and friends, and before I knew it, my hobby began to flourish as people asked me to make cookies for their special occasions.
My husband, Alfredo, has been my biggest supporter, encouraging me to turn my passion for baking and decorating into something more. With his push and the unwavering support of my family and friends, I decided to take a leap of faith. I earned my food handler's license, officially registered My Cookie Cottage as a cottage business, and applied for my LLC. And just like that, My Cookie Cottage became a reality!
Today, I’m known as “Teacher by day, Cookier by night,” balancing my love for teaching with my passion for baking. As I look toward the future, I’m excited to grow this business even more, especially once I retire from teaching.
At My Cookie Cottage, I’m here to help make your special events, milestones, and memories a little bit sweeter with custom-decorated cookies made with love and care. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, or corporate event, I’m dedicated to bringing your cookie dreams to life!
