NBC4 Columbus – Spotlight on Minority Owned Businesses: “A cookie company who does it all For the Love of Dough!”
OUR STORY
Since I was a kid, I’ve always been infatuated with the kitchen—whether it was baking, prepping, or disappearing when it was time to clean. (Ha!) What began as a quarantine hobby has quickly turned into a weekend ritual for those close to me and, starting in February 2021, for cookie lovers all over Columbus, Ohio. At For The Love of Dough, our mission is to make cookies that are unique, fresh, and always in stock for everyone to enjoy.
In a city known for its dynamic food scene, we take pride in being ‘the cookie for the culture.’ Inspired by hip-hop and Biggie Smalls’ wisdom to ‘treat everything like it’s your first project,’ we strive to make every cookie as perfect as the first. Because here at FTLOD, we’re not just baking cookies—we’re creating vibes.
