Burn it, to Earn it!
A couple of years ago we decided three things:
#1. As moms we needed a flexible gig.
#2. We needed to work on something we believed in.
#3. Even though we can measure everything in dollars and cents, we still need financial stability.
Today we are proud to support responsible addictions to cookies and exercise.
At Cookie Athlete we declare that, “Sweat and sweets go hand in hand!” We’ll keep your pantry stocked with gourmet cookies. We’ll stuff your recipe box with all the best cookie recipes and we’ll keep you motivated to get a move on and use the most effective ways to burn calories–because that’s what Cookie Athletes do.
Meet the original Cookie Athletes.
Colette was raised as a Cookie Athlete. Instead of pablum her first food was cookies & milk. As a result she knows all of the best cookie recipes and cookie shops. She also dedicates every afternoon to her run.
This Cookie Athletes loves all things pink and girlie and well as the deepest, darkest chocolate chip cookies. That means Colette will only eat fruit-based desserts in a pinch. Peach cobbler and key lime pie–no way!
If Ali were crossing the desert, she would still manage to have cookies, candy, and treats aplenty. She’s a good Cookie Athlete to know because not only can she always hook you up with treats, but she also has the world’s best chocolate chip cookie recipe—and she shares.
This Cookie Athlete makes chocolate a daily ritual. She burns her calories by doing aerobics, volleyball, and jogging, as well as chasing her three adorable children.
Jennifer loves uphill bike rides. She believes water is magic and often says, “A good swim will cure what ails you”. This Cookie Athlete’s ultimate cookie is a big fat, soft sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting.
In her former life she was a copywriter. Nowadays she reads non-fiction, cooks weird food, and tries to get everybody to pick up their dirty socks off of the floor.

Darrin is the original Cookie Athlete, and a model one at that. The only thing he loves more than a good workout is a good cookie. Specifically Darrin is addicted to gourmet cookies. He’s been know to drive several hours to his rural hometown for a taste of his mom’s famous homemade cookies. He recently moved to Dallas, and within minutes of rolling into town had started searching out sweet treats.
Darrin can’t stand wasting time watching TV; speaks English, Russian, and Geek; and has an infectious laugh.
Jessie hails from the Western slope in Colorado. As the sister of five younger brothers, she earned the distinction of being able to hold her own. Jessie also spent her formative years immersed in the Great American Pastime, experimenting with photography, and learning the words to all the great show tunes.
She’s a freelance photographer, avid organizer, reformed TV addict, and an aspiring bike chick.
