Cindy Lou's Cookies

After 25 years of making grown-up desserts for grown-up palates, Pastry Chef Cindy Kruse realized she wanted to make sweets for the kid in all of us. So she opened Cindy Lou's Cookies, a classic All-American cookie shop specializing in big, old fashioned seriously delicious cookies, that are intended to warm the heart and nourish the soul.

Trained at The Culinary Institute of America Cindy spent a decade working with some of the best chefs in the United States including Emeril Lagasse and Jean Georges Vongerichten. In the summer of 2005, Cindy became the Executive Pastry Chef at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami before venturing out on her own.

Every one of the cookies at Cindy Lou's reflects Cindy’s culinary pedigree while reminding you of childhood. Each cookie has its own custom dough, and every ingredient is handmade in house. Take the Lemon Cloud cookie, made with fresh lemon juice and zest. These cookies are massive, delicious, and exactly what a cookie should be. In Cindy’s own words “It’s a cookie. It’s not supposed to be healthy. It’s not supposed to be anything but delicious.”
