Our Roots

Gooey, Stuffed Cookies.

Downtown Dough began as a small cookie business in the Capital Region of New York, and has since expanded to Long Island. Founded by two sisters, Jackie (28) and Kristin (24), the business first introduced its oversized specialty cookies amidst the start of COVID in 2020.

From Albany to Melville, we focus on crafting large, gooey, stuffed cookies made with locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. Each cookie weighs a hefty 6-7 ounces and is packed with flavor. Our eggs come from Greenlawn, and our extracts are made in Schenectady. We are committed to supporting and collaborating with local businesses to show our community support.

Having launched our business in the midst of a pandemic, we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support and positive feedback we've received in the cookie industry. In addition to our cookies, we’ve recently expanded into artisan sourdough production.

“Dolly” is our in house super active sourdough starter that has been the base for all of our sourdough recipes. Since Dolly is well established, we dehydrate her for ease of our customers to join in the sourdough train. She is also used for various recipes including: cookies, donuts, loaves, focaccia, etc; her natural yeast & bacteria provide the perfect levain & nutritional benefit.
