Hello Friends! I'm Mylene, the Owner and Baker behind Cookies and Cravings.

And here is our story.

What began in 2016 as a small, personal passion—selling cookies from my office desk—has blossomed into a full-time business fueled by love, creativity, and a lot of cookies!

I started baking to bring a little sweetness to my hectic corporate life in the Philippines. What began as a fun side hustle quickly became a favorite among friends and colleagues who couldn’t get enough of my homemade treats. Little did I know, that simple joy was the start of something much bigger.

In 2019, I moved to Nashville to build a family. As life shifted and my family grew, so did my passion for baking. During the pandemic, while celebrating my daughter’s monthly milestones, I discovered new ways to make every moment special. Cookies turned into cakes and other desserts, each creation sparking even more inspiration and love for the craft.

Then, in late 2024, life took an unexpected turn when I was let go from my corporate job. It was a challenge—but also the turning point that nudged me toward my true calling. I made the bold decision to turn my love for baking into a full-time business, and in 2025, Cookies and Cravings officially launched.

At first, I imagined that most of our growth would come from market pop-ups and online orders through our website. But the sweetest surprise has been watching the business thrive through local retail partners. Today, you can find our cookies in a growing number of groceries, shops and cafés across Lebanon, Watertown, Mt. Juliet, and Westmoreland, with more locations joining all the time. Seeing our cookies on neighborhood shelves—where families gather and friends meet—has been one of the most rewarding milestones of all.

Every batch is made with the same care as my very first cookie, using top-quality ingredients and creative flavors. Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a box to someone special, my goal is simple: to share joy, and satisfying cravings one cookie at a time.

What started from my office desk is now a thriving business, but the heart of our brand remains the same: to bring happiness and connection through every bite. I’m beyond grateful for this journey and excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for helping me bake the world a little sweeter—one cookie at a time.
