Ashley Brown’s Business Of Homemade Cookies Is Delighting Customers
By Ameera Steward
Ashley Brown, owner of Ashley’s Famous Cookies in Pelham, knew she had a winning product when her family and friends tasted her homemade cookies and wouldn’t try anyone else’s. It began innocently. Brown’s friends and her family had a habit of buying cookies from a fast-food restaurant, and one day she decided she wanted to make her own from scratch.
“My mom kept telling me for the last couple of years, ‘You really need to sell these. They’re so good.’ She would be like, ‘I don’t want anything but Ashley’s Famous Cookies,’” said Brown, whose friends said the same thing. In March this year, Ashley’s Famous Cookies was born.
“I would look at other recipes, see how people did theirs, and tweak the recipe or freestyle based off my own ideas,” said Brown.
She uploaded a post on Instagram about the cookies, and the business took off quicker than she imagined: “It’s just crazy because you look back, and I even try to scroll, and I’m like, ‘How did this even happen?’ It’s still kind of weird.”
