Specialties
We are the ONLY cookie shop in the KC area to use exclusively organic whole-grains and organic sugars in our products. We make "Cookies without the Crash" TM.
This means your body has to actually digest the our cookie ingredients, which means it takes HOURS to release all the energy in our treats. Since it takes longer, that means your blood sugar is flatter over time and you avoid the blood sugar roller coaster you get from any of the chain cookie companies.
Use these a meal replacements if you have a busy lifestyle. Provide these to your office so everyone isn't busy napping an hour after eating our treats! (What a way to increase productivity!) Or, simply enjoy these as desert......there's not just one way to enjoy Yummylicious treats.
History
Established in 2008.
We got our start in November, 2008 at Dean & Deluca, in Leawood, KS. We provided several of our recipes to their coffee bar for sales and we've been growing ever since. We started renting kitchen space in someone else's commercial kitchen for the first year, but built our own certified commercial kitchen in our Olathe residence in January 2010. That location served us over the next couple of years as began to sell at local farmers markets.
The next year, we started to sell at Kansas City River Market, and then the following year we started to sell at Overland Park Farmers Market. We added Lenexa Farmers market to our rotation in 2018 and Brookside Farmers market in 2025. Since our inception, we've focused on farmer's markets and event-based selling. We enjoy connecting with our loyal customers and are so thankful they've chose to make Yummylicious a regular part of their lives.

My mission, and the mission of Yummylicious Cookies, is to redeem the food industry, specifically cookies. We are doing this by making great tasting treats using clean, minimally processed ingredients.
Most cookie bakeries will use ultra processed ingredients, filled with all kinds of un-nameable ingredients (which require dusting off your organic chemistry book to even understand what these compounds are! They are used in cookies to make them addictive, or extend their shelf life for months (and even years). They are not included because they're good for you and your body.
At Yummylicious Cookies, we don't use any seed oils, preservatives or cheap, ultra processed ingredients because we want your body to actually use our "Food as Fuel"TM.
Try them and we think you'll agree.
