Sweet Treats

1 Feb

Looking for the sweetest Valentine gift? Ashley Naftaly creates sweets with kindness. Her business is Kindness Kookies. From the bona fide chocolate chip to the exotic vanilla-based delight with marshmallow fluff and Rice Krispies on top, there’s something to please your tastes.

During Covid quarantine, Nafataly was laid off and persued her creative talents. As a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, innovation was innate. The cookie idea evolved, because when she moved to Pennsylvania, she baked cookies for her new neighbors and friends. “I just brightened up their morning, and they loved the cookies,” says Naftaly. But Nafataly decided that she wanted unique cookies, not just the standard flavors.

To view all the flavors or purchase some cookies. Please click here.

In addition to her cooking skills, she sells some crafts on Etsy. In fact her monogrammed candy boxes were featured in Seventeen magazine. Here is her Etsy site.
