Karis's Cookies started in 2022 not as Karis's Cookies, but as a simple science fair project set after finding the best way to make a chewy cookie. Soon, in January 2023, Karis launched 'Cookies For A Cause,' where she sold chocolate chip cookie dough that was vacuum sealed so that it would last longer. All of the money raised went to a first grade class at Holt Elementary Language Academy. Karis raised over $700 in one month! (And made quite a lot of chocolate chip cookie dough.)

Today, Karis still sells the same delicious cookie dough for reasonable prices. Now, Karis has expanded the menu and added a seasonal cookie dough and other flavors! Karis lives in North Carolina where she loves her savior, Jesus (10% of all her proceeds go back to Him), experimenting in the kitchen with new (and old!) recipes, playing basketball, and being with her dog, Hueston (pictured) whenever she can.
