Mary Johns began Mary's Mountain Cookies over 25 years ago after working as the head cook at Cherokee Park Dude Ranch in northern Colorado. Mary developed her cookie-baking skills at the ranch and became famous for her mountain-style cookies. Guests loved the cookies so much that they asked to have them shipped to their homes so they could enjoy them all year long. The demand kept growing, and the next thing you know... Mary's Mountain Cookies was formed.

Today, Mary has her test kitchen at the Front Range Village location. You can see Mary there sometimes helping customers or testing new recipes.
