During his youth in Great Neck, New York, Michael Pinckney discovered the magic and power of baking fresh cookies. While adulthood led him through several career stages (finance, sales, consulting, technology and management), his pursuit of the perfect chocolate chip cookie remained constant, and his personal recipes kept evolving.

Michael’s commitment to the best ingredients was undeterred. Even parenthood didn’t keep him from baking; it ensured a captive audience of discriminating taste testers for new flavor combinations.

The marketplace played its part as well. “It's really tough to find a truly satisfying, top-notch cookie, and near impossible at 11 p.m., even in most cities,” Michael explains. As you’ve seen on this site, his high standards include all natural ingredients, zero preservatives and gourmet chocolates. Be sure to try his favorite cookie (well, so far, anyway) Bing Bling!.

Through Pinckney Cookie Café, all fans of Michael’s uniquely delicious cookies can keep cookie fulfillment right at hand. Did we mention that the cookies are great in the refrigerator, and freeze beautifully and thaw quickly, with all their flavor and texture intact?
