Aunt Stella is the real-life aunt of Joseph Dunkle, the founder of the Aunt Stella Cookie Company. Born on April 13th, 1908, Stella was a kindergarten teacher, beloved by both her pupils and those who knew her. She was particularly well known for treating her family and friends to delicious home-baked cookies and cakes. In 1983, when her nephew Joseph opened up his first store of handmade cookies in Tokyo, Japan, he named it after Stella. Aunt Stella's cookies made their Taiwan debut in 1989. Our company philosophy is "Warm Heart Communication." Using only natural ingredients and preparing the cookies and cake by hand, we strive to continue Aunt Stella's legacy by bringing a "warm heart" to everything we do.
