The “Our Story” part of Operation Cookies starts in the best decade there ever was…..the 80’s. (Yes, last century)

Angie is the creator of our delicious and amazing cookies.  Paul is her support and packer/shipper/marketer/ cust service, utility guy.  We met as kids back in the early 80’s when we were both in the 7th grade at the young age of 13.  We lived in the same neighborhood, played kickball, rode bikes, went to dances, hung-out, all the innocent things kids did before the internet.

After 9th grade, Angie moved to Chicago – young Paul was heartbroken. But read on…this has a happy ending. After no contact for over 30 years, they reconnected in 2015, formed a relationship, and got married in October 2020.

Angie crafted her baking skills thru the years receiving praise from family, friends, co-workers, anyone who had the opportunity to try them.  Gracious in her nature, Angie always made cookies for any occasion, thousands of cookies.

Fast forward to 2016 when Paul deployed to Afghanistan for his last deployment before retirement from the Navy after 30 years of service.  Angie made over 20 care packages - not your ordinary care packages.  Each came with a separate theme in an oversized bankers box.  They were stuffed full of goodies, treats, and of course – her homemade cookies.  Everyone on the Team looked forward to arrival of Angie’s boxes. 

We are passionate about our country, the freedoms we enjoy and are forever thankful for those who serve our country and protect our way of life and for those who have gone before who gave all  – WE WILL NEVER FORGET!  Without the bravery of these men and women, the way of life we all know today would not exist. It is for the sacrifices of those in uniform, any uniform, that we will always support - our military, first responders, nurses, doctors – everyone who willingly sacrifices for our country.

We sincerely acknowledge the extreme sacrifices made by those in uniform and it is for this reason that we donate to various organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project, Fisher House Foundation, the Gary Sinise Foundation, Tunnel to Towers and Folds of Honor. To these causes, Operation Cookies has donated $14,100 (as of February 1st, 2024)
