Our Story
The journey of Butter + Bow Cookie Co. is a deeply personal one. Growing up in a Chinese family that loved to host, cook and bake, I’ve always been inspired by food’s ability to tell stories and bring people together.
Every cookie tells a story. Our signature brown butter chocolate chip cookie, studded with Guittard super cookie chips and finished with Maldon sea salt, carries a family legacy—it’s a recipe from my sister, a pastry chef trained in San Francisco, and owner of Dolce e Salato, a cookie shop in Hangzhou, China.
Butter + Bow isn’t just about cookies; it’s about the thoughtfulness behind every gift. It’s about celebrating the little things, creating joy, and making it easier to show someone how much you care.
Why Butter + Bow?
The name Butter + Bow reflects the heart of what we do and who we are. It represents our brand vision of creating something exceptional for someone exceptional.
Butter: Inspired by my son Charlie, a budding food enthusiast who could discern the quality of butter at only 18 months old. In fact, one of his first words might have been Kerrygold. Butter represents the richness and respect of using quality and simple ingredients in every cookie.
Bow: A nod to my daughter Charlotte, known for her oversized hair bows and fearless confidence. Her smile brightens a room. Bow symbolizes the joy of gifting, thoughtfully prepared for someone exceptional.
The Holiday Gift Shop
The holiday season is a time for connection, celebration, and showing the people in our lives how much they mean to us. Gifting during the holidays isn’t just tradition—it’s an opportunity to share thoughtfulness and create moments of joy. At Butter + Bow Cookie Co., we believe the best gifts are ones that feel personal and meaningful, like our signature brown butter chocolate chip cookie. With its crisp edges, chewy center, and the perfect touch of Maldon sea salt, it’s a cookie that has been called "the best ever" by those who’ve tasted it.
