Hi there, I’m Lola—the founder and baker behind Chocolate and the Chip.
My obsession with chocolate chip cookies runs deep. There’s just something about that first bite—the warmth, the nostalgia, the joy—that I’ve always wanted to share.
This all started as a cozy Etsy side hustle, selling small-batch cookie dough out of my LA kitchen. It quickly grew into pop-ups, community events, and a best-seller status online. But like all good recipes, this one kept evolving.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with PCOS, and my relationship with food shifted. Reformulating our dough to be gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and made with simple, all-natural ingredients wasn’t just a business decision—it was a necessity for me. I didn’t create this because the world needed another cookie. I created it because I needed a cookie I could eat and feel good about, without sacrificing the joy.
Still, scaling a refrigerated product as a small business was tough. It didn’t align with the lifestyle I wanted or the flexibility I needed. And honestly? The answer was right in front of me the whole time.
So I went back to the drawing board and reimagined everything as a dry cookie mix—one that’s endlessly customizable, shelf-stable, and just as nostalgic. Whether you bake it with butter and eggs or keep it vegan, this mix is made to bring the magic back to your kitchen. Because the best cookies aren’t just about taste—they’re about the feeling.
Thank you for being here and supporting this sweet little dream of mine. I’m so glad you found us.
