MADE IN TEXAS

Our Story: Shared With You

Back in my senior year of college, I had a dream—to no longer have a boss. My brother-in-law and I tossed around ideas, even considering opening a gym, but nothing really stuck. Then one day, my mom casually said, “Why don’t you sell my cookies?”

It was one of those lightbulb moments. Mom’s cookies had always been the highlight of family gatherings, church events, and holidays. People raved about them, telling her she should sell them or at least share the secret recipe. That’s when it hit me—these cookies weren’t just desserts; they were a part of our family’s story.

After graduation, I moved back home, determined to turn this idea into something real. We started small—baking in our family kitchen and shipping cookies across Texas. Before we knew it, demand outgrew our home kitchen, and we made the big move to our very own bakery space. Today, we’re still growing, but one thing remains the same: our cookies are made with the same love and care that started it all.

NAMED IN FINLAND

How We Got Our Name

When it came time to name our cookie company, we wanted something meaningful—something that carried a piece of our story. “Keksi” is the Finnish word for “cookie.”

I first learned the word while serving a two-year church mission in Finland, where I also learned to speak the language. When I returned home and started this business, it felt right to bring a bit of that experience into the heart of what we do. Choosing Keksi as our name is a way to honor that journey and share a little piece of Finland with every cookie we bake.

Strengthening Families, One Cookie at a Time

Strengthen the Family

Some of life’s best moments happen around the table—laughing, talking, and of course, sharing something sweet. Our mission is simple: to bring families closer together, and if a warm, homemade cookie can help do that, even better.

Pursue Quality

We never settle. Whether it's the ingredients in our cookies, the experience in our store, or the way we communicate, we aim for excellence. Details matter because our customers matter.

Love One Another

We treat every person with dignity, kindness, and respect — our customers, our team, and our community. We believe business can be a vehicle for good and that every interaction is a chance to show that all are children of a divine creator.

Stewardship

We care deeply for what we've been entrusted with — our time, resources, people, and purpose. We strive to be thoughtful, resourceful, and generous stewards in everything we do, recognizing that we're building something bigger than ourselves.

What makes our cookies special?
It's all in the ingredients.

Our cookies aren’t just made to taste good—they’re made to feel like home. We use real, wholesome ingredients you’d find in your own kitchen, combined with a secret recipe and process that make each bite unforgettable.

Strengthen Families

At the end of the day, our cookies are about more than flavor—they’re about bringing people together, creating memories, and savoring the little moments.
