Our Story

Inside the Dough Joe operation

Nothing in stores came close to the cookies Hadyn Rutledge remembered from childhood, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. 

After attending culinary school at Fanshawe College, working as a chef, and spending countless hours experimenting in the kitchen, he finally cracked the code with his signature cookie recipe. 

Word spread quietly. Friends told friends. A little side project turned into a full-blown operation. Now Dough Joe Bakery is Waterloo’s unofficial cookie supplier. We keep batches small and standards high. Because the family deserves the good stuff.
