Baking has always been her family’s past-time, and as a child, she often watched and baked right beside her Grandmother and Great-Aunts.
Royalty Cookies was inspired by her grandmother’s recipe and has been enjoyed for more than forty years by family members, neighbors and friends.
Royalty Cookies, Inc. was created in January of 2010 as a homemade cookie company and Donna loves sharing these delicious cookies with the world.
Donna holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a MBA from Babson College, Wellesley, MA and has held various corporate positions in retail management and grocery supply which created a strong foundation for the launching of Royalty Cookies.
