Hella Baked Cookies is a San Diego home bakery specializing in custom sugar cookies. Founded in 2017 as 650CookieCo. in the San Francisco Bay Area, owner Danielle Amaral first started making cookies as a hobby. As she kept practicing, people were quick to support this new adventure of hers. Shortly thereafter, business was booming and Danielle started taking countless professional classes to expand her skills and knowledge. In 2019, Danielle moved to San Diego with her then boyfriend (now husband and co-owner, Chris Amaral) and rebranded to Hella Baked Cookies. A name giving homage to her Bay Area roots and her love for all things baked.
