Our Story

"This brand was built on the belief that warm, fresh cookies belong in a healthy lifestyle”

Have The Cookie™ started with one simple truth:
I love warm chocolate chip cookies.

Not just occasionally, they are my favorite dessert in the world.

But during my health journey, while tracking calories and building better habits, I ran into something frustrating.

Most cookies did not fit my goals.

As I worked to lose over 27 pounds, I became more intentional about what I ate. . I found myself constantly choosing between enjoying dessert and staying on track. By the end of the day, I would often only have 90 to 100 calories left to stay within my deficit, and most cookies were easily double that.

Even the “healthier” options did not solve the problem.

They were dry, hard, overly processed, or just did not taste like a real, fresh bakery cookie.

So I started experimenting.

 

The Breakthrough

After countless rounds of testing in my kitchen, I discovered something unexpected.

With the right balance of ingredients, Sweet Potato Purée could replace traditional butter and eggs while still creating a soft, warm, bakery style cookie.

That changed everything.

Not only did it make a lower calorie cookie possible, it unlocked something even bigger.

You could bake just ONE cookie at a time.

No complicated prep.
No splitting eggs.
No measuring out small portions of butter.
No baking an entire tray.

No wasting ingredients just because you wanted dessert.

 

Suddenly, I could scoop out a serving, add a little sweet potato purée, and have a warm fresh cookie in minutes.

And the best part?

It tasted incredible.

 

Creating the Perfect Cookie

I did not just want a better for you cookie.

I wanted a cookie that felt like it came from my favorite bakery.
Soft, warm, gooey, nostalgic, and comforting.

And just as important, I wanted it made with traditional ingredients. No artificial sweeteners.

I also had a clear goal.

Keep it light, under 100 calories, and aligned with how I live.

Something that allows for portion control without sacrifice.

After countless rounds of testing, tweaking, baking, and re-baking, I finally created the chocolate chip cookie I had been searching for.

Then came Snickerdoodle, inspired by my daughter’s request, and it quickly became another favorite.

Soon we are expanding our line with two delicious premium flavors that you won’t find anywhere else.
