![]() Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way? At the end of the day, Cookie Crumb Cookies would not be where it is at without the help and support of my family, friends and our wonderful customers that enjoy our one-of-a-kind cookies every day. Having Meghan Markel and Ellen eat our cookies was definitely the cherry on top of it all. Our big break was definitely when we were included on the Ellen show. We eventually began to grow a following and had our clientele we started to finally see all the hard work paying off. It did take a lot out of my husband and children as it did interfere a lot with family time but I knew that making those sacrifices would pay off for our future. Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday I would be at a different location. Our first year as Cookie Crumb Cookies I participated in different markets every weekend with no breaks. Over time I got into the pop-up scene and started to sell my cookies all over southern California. I created an Instagram account for Cookie Crumb Cookies and just started posting all the different pictures I had taken. The amount of cookies and pictures that I took that day was enormous and to many to count. I recall a particular occasion in which I baked from morning to late night, just making sure that I perfected my recipe. Initially all of my energy was centered around helping out our household and growing Cookie Crumb Cookies. I thought to myself, “If I’m going to do this I’m going to have to give it my all”. I remember thinking this would be a fun way to gain extra income. I would always gift out my cookies to friends or family, and so many of them would tell me that I should sell them. I have been baking for such a long time as a hobby during the holidays. Our circumstances forced me to make a decision, one that has changed our life in such a positive way. I wanted to help and have always aspired to have my own business. It all started when Covid was on top of everyone’s minds, my husband had unfortunately lost his job and we needed to make ends meet. Yasmin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Yasmin Maria.
