A little about me

Daniela Mota, the heart and soul behind our delightful treats, hails from a rich Brazilian heritage. Growing up in the colorful streets of Sao Paulo, she learned the art of baking from her grandmother, who believed that every cookie should carry a piece of the baker's heart. 

At Dani Cookies, we don't just bake cookies; we infuse them with warmth, memories, and a touch of magic. Each batch is crafted with care, using time-honored family recipes and the finest ingredients. Our secret ingredient? Love.

From Hobbyist to Cookie Enthusiast

The Sweet Beginnings

Hello, fellow cookie lovers! I'm Daniela Mota, the proud baker behind Dani Cookies. But let's rewind a bit—to the time when it all started.

A Simple Hobby

Baking cookies began as a simple hobby for me. Picture a cozy kitchen, sunlight streaming through the window, and the scent of vanilla dancing in the air. Armed with a well-loved mixing bowl and a wooden spoon, I embarked on my sweet adventure.

The First Batch

My very first batch of cookies was a classic chocolate chip recipe. Flour dusted the countertops, and butter softened in anticipation. As I measured ingredients, I felt a sense of wonder—could a handful of pantry staples transform into something magical?

The Joy of Creation

As the dough came together, so did my excitement. The rhythmic whir of the hand mixer became my kitchen soundtrack. And when those golden cookies emerged from the oven, their edges slightly crisp and centers delightfully chewy, I knew I had stumbled upon something special.

From Heart to Oven

Baking cookies became my therapy. It was a way to express love, creativity, and nostalgia. I experimented with flavors—adding a pinch of cinnamon here, a handful of toasted nuts there. Each batch carried a piece of my heart, and I couldn't wait to share them with friends and family.

The Turning Point

One day, a friend tasted my cookies and said, "Dani, these are incredible! You should sell them." And just like that, my hobby transformed into a dream. Dani Cookies was born—a tribute to my Brazilian roots and a celebration of all things sweet.
