Twelve years ago, Tia, a Florida native, started by asking her friends, “What is your favorite cookie?” Spending most of her time baking rather than studying, she headed to the West Coast to obtain a baking/pastry degree from Oregon Culinary Institute. After three years of missing the sun and perfecting decadent desserts, she returned to Florida and baking cookies. You can find your favorite cookie at The Hyppo Café.
