At Byron Bay Cookie Company, cookies are our life
Returning to Australia after 6 years in New York founders' Maggi Miles and Gary Lines drove up the East coast until they found idyllic Byron Bay. After years of working in the fashion industry in Australia and USA the couple started baking for the local markets under the name Pickles, Pies and Petticoats whilst considering their next business venture.
Using the old farmhouse stove in her country cottage, Maggi experimented with ingredients to create a white choc chunk and macadamia cookie and triple choc fudge cookie which are still the company's top selling cookies today.
Demand from local cafe to supply cookies meant the couple had in fact already created their next business venture and a contract to supply department store Myer nationally confirmed this.
With customers insisting on calling the products those cookies from Byron Bay the company name officially changed to Byron Bay Cookie Company in the late 1990s.
With hundreds of thousands of cookies baked weekly Byron Bay Cookie Company now supply cafe gourmet food stores nationally as well David Jones, Qantas, Virgin Blue and Rex Airlines nationally, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, John Lewis and the Windsor Farm Shop in the UK as well as department stores in Singapore and Ireland. In September 2004 Byron Bay Cookie Company launched its gourmet savoury collection.
