When Pat Condelli began baking cookies in 1956 she was 10 years old. Relatives crowned her the Cookie Queen. So when she opened her cookie business in 1992 she had the perfect name for the company. Pat, a home economist, received her degree at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She was a newspaper columnist and editor for 30 years before assuming the official title of Cookie Queen. Pat also directs, sings and dances with The Original Class Act, which performs throughout the Pittsburgh area. The Cookie Queen wants everyone to have as much fun cooking as she does - so she has included her phone number for those who run into a problem with a recipe.
