Carrington Cookies, a cherished family-run enterprise, has recently announced the opening of its newest venture: the Carrington Cookie Bar.
Nestled at Sandton City in Johannesburg, the cookie bar is the brainchild of Ayesha Essop, 28, who says, “The idea was sparked by late-night cravings, unexpected guests, empty pantries, and lonely cups of tea.”
With the company Carrington Cookies, Essop’s takes pride in offering high-quality, freezer-to-oven cookie dough that brings the joy of freshly baked cookies to any home within minutes.
Drawing from her father’s guidance and expertise in the industry, she has not only carried forward a legacy but has also forged her own path as a forward-thinking entrepreneur.
“Designed with practicality in mind, these preservative-free cookie servings come neatly packaged in resealable bags, allowing customers to bake as few or as many cookies as needed without any mess or fuss.
“It is the ideal solution for those seeking the taste of freshly baked cookies without the hassle. Our freezer-to-oven cookie dough caters to the busy lives of moms, kitchen novices, and anyone craving a quick and scrumptious treat for themselves, their children, or guests.
“And for those with dietary restrictions, we offer a gluten-free option, ensuring that everyone can lap up the joy of homemade cookies,” says Essop.
