Our Story
We love baking (and eating!) cookies, and since 1991, O’ My Goodness has supplied delicious, hand-decorated bulk cookies to some of the biggest names in retail. And they really are so good that customers would taste them and exclaim “O’ My Goodness!” That’s how we named our company.
O’ My Goodness is an artisanal bakery with sufficient capacity to serve major retailers, and our cookies taste homemade. We produce decorated butter and gingerbread cookies in a wide variety of attention-grabbing, colorful designs with batch-to-batch consistency. O’ My Goodness partners with a variety of customers, including large in-house bakeries, specialty grocers and other independent retailers like gift, card and coffee shops along with online/catalog retailers.
We supply what you need from individually wrapped cookies in upscale packaging to bulk cookies sold by the pallet. We also sell bite-size cookies, which are popular for gift boxes/tins and in pillow boxes typically combined with a larger size decorated cookie.
One of our secrets to success is the ability to supply our customers with a changing array of kosher-certified, nut-and-peanut-free cookies designed to appeal to consumers’ seasonal focus. From traditional holiday cookies to those geared to themes like sports, birthday, wedding, summer fun and back-to-school, we offer retailers more than 20 different buying occasions to drive sales.
O’ My Goodness is GFSI certified under IFS Food Safety, and we have made a practice of honoring our commitments to deadlines and quality. Every one of our employees is empowered to pull product if they feel it doesn’t meet our high standards for quality. Our longevity as a company is a testament to their vigilance.
Homemade Taste
A recipe from Cindy’s grandmother inspired our cookies, and we stay faithful to that family tradition with beautiful designs that taste as good as they look.
Our History
O’ My Goodness was founded in 1991 by Cindy and Andy Ousterhout and is rooted in Cindy’s love for baking delicious, gorgeously decorated cookies. The company sprang from her reputation for making a wonderfully wide variety of Christmas confections. Friends began asking her to bake cookies for them, and the requests grew by word-of-mouth. We soon outgrew the ability to work out of our home.
Local grocers started carrying the cookies, and we received our first big national break just two years later when the upscale Neiman Marcus department store became a customer. Like a number of our first customers, Neiman Marcus remains a customer today.
We moved into our own commercial bakery in 1995 and started to grow exponentially through regional grocers and more upscale stores like Nordstrom, Horchow, Saks Fifth Avenue and Balducci’s.
Our cookies are a favorite choice for catalog covers including Neiman Marcus Mother’s Day, Dean & Deluca holiday and Easter, Celebration Fantastic (many times) as well as Harry and David twice.
Now, they can be found across many channels including cozy tea and coffee shops, in-house bakeries, specialty grocers and some of the largest online gift retailers.
