I started Junita's Jar as a way to temporarily escape the emotional chaos of an abusive relationship. Baking the recipes of my childhood connected me to the memories and wholesome goodness of my past. Food -- even a simple cookie has the power to connect us and to fuel positive change.

Junita's Jar was Inspired by the simple goodness of my favorite childhood recipes, baked with high quality, real ingredients - like real butter, pure vanilla, brown sugar and delicious chocolate chips. Simply put: Our cookies are what you'd make yourself if you had the time.

From dessert with friends to cookies and conversation series with college students, Junita's Jar began gaining traction as the empowering cookie company driven by the power of hope and the enjoyment of snacking creating the perfect snack experience.

Today, Junita's Jar is sold in Target stores across 25 states, in more than 350 boutique shops, cafes and coffee shops, museums, hotels, college campuses, breweries and more, we're carving out a growing presence in foodservice including with Foodworks, a division of Compass USA and we're ready to elevate your everyday moments with the taste of home, baked into every cookie.
