Jill Davis has been baking for as long as she can remember. Her mom taught her how to bake at a young age as a way spend time together. It wasn’t long before she memorized cookie recipes and ‘Jill’s Cookies’ were regularly requested from her older brothers and their friends.
Jill kept baking for family and friends throughout college and after she graduated, she moved to New York City and taught cupcake baking classes for a couple years. She put baking professionally aside as she started studying wine and eventually worked harvests at wineries around the world. She always baked for the winery teams and found joy in sharing her favorite hobby. Jill started her own wine label, Heaps Keen, in 2021 and pairs each wine with a cookie recipe.
After moving to Sonoma County in 2022, she began baking more often and started to volunteer with Cakes4Kids, a nonprofit that bakes and delivers homemade birthday cakes to underserved children who otherwise wouldn’t receive one. Jill’s Cookies officially launched in 2024 with help from her friends Kate Brown, Ben Plourde and many others who have helped taste-test her recipes.
Jill’s Cookies are baked in a CFO home kitchen in Petaluma, CA. Each cookie is made with love and is dedicated to the memory of her wonderful mom, Cindy Davis.
