Cheryl Crockett started making lunchroom style butter cookies for family and friends. These iconic style butter cookies were once prominent throughout Chicago public schools, all around the city. The taste and sweet smell brought her back to childhood and she wanted to share that with the people around her.

Before founding and becoming CEO of Crockett Cookies, Cheryl’s career was strengthened by years of work experience in the corporate world, including as Executive Director of a not for profit and as Development Director for a major Media Arts college. Her background also includes entrepreneurship, previously running her own custom clothing company. 

Now she operates Crockett Cookies which bakes over 5000 cookies per day to fulfill orders at almost 250 Chicagoland Walgreens locations in both city & suburbs. Crockett Cookies also ships cookies purchased on the website throughout the United States. Cheryl has been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, Chicago Tribune, Food Business News, and WGN.
