About Pinckney Cookie Cafe
Pinckney Cookie Cafe is a Seattle-area artisanal cookie bakery. Using only the highest-quality ingredients and gourmet — and often creative — twists on classic recipes, we bake better-than-homemade cookies. Our “Miracle Cookies” line is vegan and gluten-free, but is just as chewy and delicious as traditional cookies. Currently, we’re an online store and can be found at farmers markets around the Seattle area. We are also in the process of opening a retail store in Kirkland.

We’ve been featured in publications including Esquire, the Seattle Times, Seattle Met and Seattle Refined. Check out one of our recent features: https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/michael-pinckney-went-from-a-tech-career-to-starting-his-own-cookie-business-now-hes-a-farmers-market-fave/
