THE HEART (AND HANDS) BEHIND WHAT A COOKIE
We’re two cookie addicts who travelled the world biting into every thick, gooey, oversized cookie we could find. Amsterdam, London, Paris… everywhere we went, cookies were part of the trip.
Then we moved to Malta our favorite place on earth.
The sun, the people, the vibe… everything felt perfect.
Everything except one thing.
No real cookies.
Zero.
Nada.
Nothing gooey enough to make us cry.
So yes, we were happy in Malta but cookie-happy?
Not at all.
One night, after yet another disappointing “cookie,” we looked at each other and said:
“Ok… we need to fix this.”
We started baking in our tiny Maltese kitchen.
Flour everywhere, hundreds of tests, chocolate explosions, failures so bad we still laugh about them.
But also moments where we took a bite and went:
“Wait… this. THIS is what we’ve been missing.”
That’s how What A Cookie was born.
Not from business plans, not from strategy
from two people who just really, REALLY wanted good cookies on the island they love.
We brought the cookies we found on our travels,
the flavours we missed from home in France,
the chocolate we love from Italy,
and we mixed everything with the warmth of Malta.
Today, What A Cookie is our little love story to this island.
A gift we wished someone would make for us…
so we made it ourselves.
If you’ve ever loved cookies, travelled for food,or just wished Malta had “that one place”…welcome.This is your place now too.
