Georgie’s Cookies Hits Sweet Milestone, Eyes Nationwide Expansion
Local Ingredients, Arizona-Grown Olive Oil and an Innovative All-in-One Baking Experience Drive Georgie’s Cookies Past 10,000 Sold
QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. – What began as Isabella Silver’s passion for creating exceptional cookies has quickly grown into an emerging Arizona food brand. Just 14 months after launching Georgie’s Cookies, the Queen Creek-based company has surpassed 10,000 fresh-baked cookies sold and is now preparing to expand its reach through a new line of Olive Oil Scratch Cookie Mixes for retail.
A signature of Georgie’s Cookies is the use of 100 percent extra virgin olive oil in place of butter in many of its recipes. Georgie’s proudly uses olive oil from olives grown and pressed in Arizona, including flavor- infused olive oils that add subtle complexity to familiar favorites. The company’s commitment to local sourcing also extends to select flour grown and milled in Arizona. The approach has helped Georgie’s develop a loyal following at farmers markets throughout the greater Phoenix area, where customers regularly seek out the brand’s fresh-baked cookies. “We’re delighted that so many customers are coming to the farmers markets specifically looking for Georgie’s Cookies,” said Silver. “It tells us that people connect with what we’re creating—an affordable indulgence that is fresh, local and made with ingredients we feel good about.” Silver spent countless hours developing and refining recipes, with plenty of enthusiastic taste-testing from family and friends. The resulting lineup combines familiar favorites with unexpected flavors and textures.
Offerings have included Olive Oil Chocolate Chunk, delicate Butter Cookies, rich White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Cookies and Olive Oil Orange, a light citrus cookie with a distinctive flavor and delicate texture. Georgie’s has developed a lineup of nineteen flavors, complemented by rotating seasonal and holiday offerings. Fresh-baked cookies are available in packages of 6, 12 and 24.
From Fresh-Baked Cookies to the Grocery Aisle
The success of Georgie’s fresh-baked cookies has led Silver to take the next major step for the company developing a line of Olive Oil Scratch Cookie Mixes designed for specialty, grocery and online retailers. In what Georgie’s Cookies believes is a first in the cookie-mix industry, each mix includes a pre-measured pouch of Arizona-grown and pressed extra virgin olive oil right inside the box. Rather than asking consumers to purchase butter or olive oil separately, Georgie’s provides the signature oil needed to make the cookies as part of the complete baking experience.
The concept allows consumers to experience one of the ingredients that helped define Georgie’s fresh-baked cookies while creating the cookies themselves at home. It also gives retailers a distinctive product that combines scratch-baking appeal, convenience and an authentic connection to Arizona agriculture.“We didn’t want to simply tell people to substitute olive oil for butter,” Silver said. “We wanted to put the actual olive oil we believe makes these cookies special right in the box. It gives the customer the complete Georgie’s experience from the moment they open the package.”
The mixes bring the Georgie’s concept into consumers’ homes while maintaining the brand’s emphasis on Arizona-grown and pressed olive oil, thoughtfully selected ingredients and distinctive flavors.
We are carefully introducing our mixes to specialty and online retailers,” Silver said. “While we believe there is significant opportunity to grow, we’ve chosen a disciplined rollout. We want to make sure that as Georgie’s Cookies expands, we maintain the quality, consistency and integrity that got us here in the first
place.” The retail line also gives the Arizona company an opportunity to grow beyond its regional fresh-cookie business and introduce the Georgie’s brand to consumers nationwide.
The Story Behind Georgie’s
Georgie’s Cookies is named for Isabella’s beloved rescue dog, Georgie, who became a source of unwavering companionship and inspiration. The company grew from a simple belief: a great cookie, like a steadfast companion, has the power to add a smile to your day. Founded in 2024 in Queen Creek, Arizona, Georgie’s Cookies combines nostalgia, experimentation and inspiration from the flavors of the Southwest. The company produces fresh-baked cookies and Olive Oil Scratch Cookie Mixes with a focus on quality ingredients, creative flavors and an unmistakably Arizona identity, including the use of olive oil from olives grown and pressed in Arizona.
