Hey y'all, I'm Madelynn, affectionately known as the "cookie lady" and the proud founder of Cookies4College.

 

What began as a personal endeavor to fund my own college education through baking has blossomed into a heartfelt mission to assist other students in breaking free from the cycle of overwhelming student loan debt.

 

Every cookie you purchase contributes directly to a scholarship for a deserving college student.

 

Currently, I'm navigating my junior year of college, and this initiative is my way of covering tuition expenses.

 

Upon my graduation, Cookies4College will open applications for scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, offering students a sweeter path to achieving their academic dreams.

 

Exciting news! Cookies4College is set to open its first storefront in downtown Harlingen at 119 W. Van Buren, Suite 6, by the end of December 2025.

 

Until our grand opening, you can find us at local farmers markets on weekends, or we can deliver our delectable cookies straight to your home, office, or school.

 

We also cater to events and parties, bringing our mission and treats to your special occasions.

 

Stay connected and up-to-date by following us on Instagram and Facebook.

 

We post daily updates and share our weekly locations every Monday, ensuring you never miss out on our latest offerings.

 

Join us in making education more accessible, one cookie at a time.

 

Your support not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also empowers students in the Rio Grande Valley to pursue their educational goals without the burden of debt.
