Our Story
Learn how SKILLETS became one of the fastest-growing dessert companies nationwide!
Born from the simple joy of cookies fresh from the oven
It all started with a warm skillet cookie that made every moment feel special.
Founder Giovanni Petruzziello remembered the feeling it brought: the laughter, the comfort, the sense of home. That single bite sparked a bigger idea — to capture that nostalgic magic and make it something everyone could share.
What began as a simple craving turned into a full-blown vision: to bake desserts that don’t just taste incredible, but connect people. SKILLETS was born from that spark — a reminder that comfort, creativity, and connection can all fit into one pan (patent pending).
To bring that vision to life, he found the perfect mix — a team fueled by passion and flavor.
Giovanni knew he needed the perfect mix — people who shared his obsession with flavor and heart. Enter Dustin and Aja Hess, a husband-and-wife baking duo with a passion for turning simple ingredients into showstopping desserts. Alongside Dan, a longtime friend who believed in the dream from day one, the team rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
Their kitchen became a lab for creativity — testing, baking, tweaking, and branding for months until everything felt just right. From logo sketches to late-night taste tests, every step was about crafting more than a cookie. They were building a brand rooted in warmth, community, and pure indulgence.
From our kitchen to yours, SKILLETS is here to make life a little warmer — one bite at a time.
It’s about making life a little warmer, one bite at a time. Every skillet cookie we bake carries the same heart and joy that started it all — a little reminder that the best moments are often the simplest ones.
Whether you’re baking at home or sharing a pack with friends, each gooey bite brings people together. Because at the end of the day, SKILLETS isn’t just about what’s in the pan — it’s about the feeling that comes with it: comfort, connection, and a touch of sweetness in every moment.
