I’m Peyton House, the founder and creator of Cookie House! I started Cookie House in August 2024 out of a passion for decorating and customizing handcrafted sugar cookies. My love for baking began with my mom, who taught me how a small bite of something sweet could bring a smile to someone’s face. Through countless tea parties during high school and the challenges of the COVID pandemic, we discovered how a simple cookie could make special moments and memories come to life.

I started crafting these specific cookies in 2021 after taking a class from a fellow sorority sister, Emily Henegar, also know as “Cookieinthekitchen”. Since then I have honed my skills by making cookies for family holidays and birthdays, in addition to taking 3 other classes from Emily.

I recently graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. After recently making bridal shower and birthday cookies for family and friends, I was encouraged to turn my creations into a side gig. And here we are! To my friends in the Bay Area and across California, I’m an open book!
