MelkandCookies is a family business that began with the mission to make friends and family happy with the highest quality, all-natural, frozen cookie dough.
Rochel Melka, Founder of MelkandCookies
How We Started
MelkandCookies Founder and President, Rochel Melka, has been spreading joy with her cookies since she was a young girl.
MelkandCookies was launched on the principle that serving family and friends home-baked cookies is an act of love and a nod to simpler, uncomplicated times.
The Inspiration
As a mother, grandmother, homemaker, and entrepreneur, Rochel has launched two successful businesses focused on high quality and personal service. She admits to being obsessed with cookies, and has been baking twice a week ever since she was a teenager. Since many cookies bake flat, Rochel spent months perfecting the recipe for the hallmark fluffy texture of a MelkandCookies cookie.
The Journey
Together with husband Bill, the MelkandCookies concept is a reflection of a life together steeped in strong family ties, four children, two son-in-laws, seven grandchildren, big Sunday meals around the table, friends galore, faith, a farmhouse, a horse show here and there, and homegrown pumpkins.
Where We Are Now
With a 'can-do" work ethic and help from this fun and boisterous cookie crew, Rochel Melka has succeeded in bringing a dream to fruition.
Entrepreneurial to the bone, she has that rare mix of fearlessness and humility - making the MelkandCookies story a rallying cry for anyone who ever thought about changing their course midstream.
Her motto: "You don't have to be the smartest, the fastest or the best educated one, just the one who will work the hardest to follow a passion."
