NC Cookie Momster

Meet Maria

Maria was born and raised in NY. Maria, her husband, and 2 daughters moved to NC in 2007. Maria’s love of all things food started at home as a child. Her parents, born and raised in Italy, always made all their meals from scratch, and grew much of their own food on their farm. You will never find a jar of store bought sauce in her kitchen — only homemade will do!

NC Cookie Momster was started in 2020 after her friends suggested she should sell her cookies. She gave them as gifts each year for Christmas. Maria also works as a Human Resources Manager at a small Engineering company in Cary. 

Maria loves the smiles that her cookies bring to her customers and will celebrate her 6 year business anniversary in 2025! 

About her business:

NC Cookie Momster

NC Cookie Momster is a licensed and inspected in-home bakery. I specialize in gourmet cookies, granola, brownies and flavored pancake mix. I can be found most Saturday mornings at the Clayton Farm and Community farmer's market in downtown Clayton. I enjoy creating unique cookie flavors such as Heath Potato chip and Bourbon Bacon cookies. Whether you are looking for a gift for a friend, customer or neighbor, we can create a memorable sweet treat!
