OUR STORY
Discover the story behind Dad’s Cookies, a Fresno favorite built on a passion for delicious cookies, quality ingredients, and the timeless joy of sharing something sweet.
From a Father’s Kitchen to a Community Favorite
Dads Cookies began in 2020 during the pandemic when founder Lance Sanchez was laid off from his career in audiology. Instead of seeing it as a setback, Lance turned to something that had always brought joy.
baking the cookies he had made for his daughters for years.
What started as a family tradition quickly became a community favorite. With every batch made with care, Lance saw an opportunity to share the same comfort, memories, and happiness his cookies brought his family with people everywhere.
Building a Brand One Cookie at a Time
To bring his vision to life, Lance teamed up with his daughter Haivyn and nephew Jordan, who helped bring their skills, creativity, and passion to the journey. Together, they transformed a beloved family recipe into a brand built around quality, connection, and creating memorable experiences.
Starting with online orders from home, Dads Cookies quickly gained the support of the community. As more people discovered the cookies and shared them with friends and family, the journey grew into farmers markets, where Lance, Haivyn, Jordan, and the team had the opportunity to meet customers and build relationships one cookie at a time. As demand continued to grow, Dads Cookies expanded its reach and eventually opened a food truck, creating a new way to bring fresh, handcrafted cookies directly to the community.
