Our Story

Passion and Purpose

Hi, I'm Tom, a second-year medical student in Chicago with a sweet tooth. My future goal is to become a skilled vascular surgeon, dedicated to improving the lives of my patients. When I'm not immersed in the world of medicine, I find solace and joy in the kitchen, crafting custom cookies that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Baking allows me to combine my love for precision and creativity in a completely different way.

A Sweet Beginning

My journey into the world of baking began on a fateful Valentine’s Day as a heartfelt attempt to win over my now-fiancée. What started as a labor of love quickly blossomed into a full-fledged passion. Sharing my creations with my family and colleagues to brighten their days turned out to be equally rewarding, and before I knew it, Sugar Coated MD was born.

What is the optimal freshness for my newly purchased cookies?

These sugar cookies are each individually packaged in an air-tight bag and last roughly three weeks in a cool, dry area. Additionally, they can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.

Why do you limit 12 cookies?

We carefully limit our orders to 12 cookies to ensure we can dedicate the necessary time and attention to crafting each cookie to perfection. This allows us to maintain our high-quality standards while balancing the demands of medical school; however, we are flexible, so please reach out if you feel like your event needs more cookies!
