Tree City Cookie
Custom cookies for any occasion!

Arika Cooknell
Owner, Baker, Designer, Cookie Artist
Arika started baking in college as a serious hobby every Christmas with her cousins. The joy of spending a whole day mixing, baking, and decorating cookies together was always something she looked forward to. After college she moved back to her "home town" of Boise, ID and continued the holiday tradition. She took her first official cookie order December 2020 and the rest is history!

Just for the fun of it I was going to be silly and put my photos all over this page because I am a one woman business. However, that would mean that I disregard those that stand behind me who allow me to run this business that I am so passionate about.
Which leads me to the rest of my team!
