27-year-old Mikayla Frick is the proud owner of Frick’n Good Cookies.
WXYZ “Our cookies are thick, soft, dense cookie. We also use no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup,” Mikayla said.
But her relationship with cookies goes beyond the family name.
“Everybody in my elementary, middle, high school knows my family as the cookie family, because my grandma would bring these chocolate chip cookies in these giant gallons bags, hand them out at volleyball games, soccer games,” Mikayla said.
Yes, the cookies are all thanks to Grandma Sue’s original recipe.
“Long story short, I went to Michigan State, graduated right before the pandemic, and I couldn’t get hired as a new grad. I started to make these cookies at home and started selling them on Facebook. One thing led to another, and here we are selling at all these events,” Mikayla said.
From a temporary gig to a thriving business… the small business owner says there were a few crumby moments.
“We used to rent out a bakery in Saint Clair Shores,” Mikayla said. “We would have to go in after their hours so we would start baking at 9 o’clock at night. We’d be baking until 2 AM. That was really difficult, especially being that we couldn’t store stuff there. It was really hard so being here is a huge milestone.”
