Kates Kookies
Vendor
Fresh from the oven, our food truck serves bite-sized mini chocolate chip cookies made with real butter, rich chocolate, and baked nonstop so every serving is perfectly soft and fresh baked. Whether you grab a classic serving or level it up with ice cream and toppings, we're all about simple ingredients, freshly baked, and pure comfort- one mini cookie at a time.

Baking has always been my passion. My grandpa was my biggest inspiration. In his culinary career he was able to become the executive chef at Hotel Fort Des Moines. He had the honor to create meals for several presidents and actors. He even had a knack for ice carvings that would be the center piece of those meals.
As a kid instead of watching cartoons I would watch cooking shows. Even the neighbor knew that is what I spent my time doing. He would hang his cookbook magazines, from his subscriptions, on the fence lining our property for me to take. One day he even gave me his mother's cook books and recipe cards.
During my junior year of high school I enrolled in culinary school and received my culinary degree at Iowa Culinary Institute. After working in the culinary field I became a stay at home mom. I was craving getting back into the industry so I opened a wholesale cookie business from our home.
After that we decided to take a leap of faith and open a food truck. We initially were going to open a deli food truck but soon realized I couldn't steer from my passion. So cookies it is!
