Momma Shell's Cookies Brings Homemade Goodness to Hendricks County Indiana
Published on
There's nothing better than cookies and homemade goodness, and you can find both in the same place in Hendricks County, Indiana, when you visit Momma Shell's Cookies.
Here's what you need to know about this locally owned cookie business in Plainfield:
Momma Shell's Origins
Owner Rachelle Huether, better known as Momma Shell, opened Momma Shell's Cookies in April 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. A deeply spiritual woman, Rachelle felt called to start her delivery business after the pandemic ended her previous job, allowing her to share homemade comfort with people craving normalcy while safely avoiding contact and infection.
Momma Shell's still offers delivery services, but she also has a brick-and-mortar storefront at 303 E. Main St. in Plainfield, sharing space with the Frigid Frog next to Central Elementary School. She bakes her cookies right there daily, so customers are getting the freshest treats possible.
Cookies
Momma Shell bakes four or five varieties of cookies every day -- the ever-popular ones, like chocolate chip and sugar -- plus another four or five different varieties of cookies, depending on the season, what specials she's running and what she's moved to bake on any given day. The best way to keep up with the options of the day is to follow her Facebook page.
Her creations are large, thick gourmet cookies, some with generous amounts of frosting on top. And they all have unique names with stories behind them, so be sure to ask Momma Shell about them!
Custom Orders, Discounts & Gift Certificates
Through her website or by contacting her directly, Momma Shell offers custom orders for cookies, mini loaves of delectable breads, cookie dough and even a giant cookie cake, perfect for birthdays and other celebrations. She needs about a business day's lead time to create your custom order, which can be delivered or picked up at her store. Most items can also be shipped.
On top of that, she offers a 15 percent discount to all military, teachers and first responders, including nurses. She also offers gift certificates to give your friends and family so they can enjoy the homemade goodness themselves and find their favorite treats.
