Our Story
My name is Ines Bracho CEO of Meltd Cookies LLC. I was born in Venezuela, where I lived for 43 years with my husband and my 4 daughters. As a nutritionist, I supervised Industrial Cafeterias and worked for the oil industry, where a process control and safety certification called ISO-9000 was achieved, a certification obtained for the first time in an industrial cafeteria in the country.
In those years my passion for control in food handling and all the logistics necessary for production in large quantities was awakened.
In 2008, my husband and I decided to emigrate to the United States of America, and since then we have lived in Katy, TX. For years, I gave courses, conferences, and training in the field of nutrition representing a supplementation brand, but I had the desire to give shape to two great passions: the quality of intuitive cooking, that is, cooking tasty dishes without measuring quantities, and the baking process.
It was only in 2022 when I decided to unite these two passions in a project that at the beginning I called a hobby, and that was to create cookies combining flavors and ingredients in the New York style. I started by offering my first tests to my family and close friends; that whole process of creation and preparation was exciting. It was like having my own testing laboratory, controlling all the factors of food handling, quality control of the ingredients, and handling the entire production process. When I realized I had created a product that people liked, I named that hobby @guaguabites after the nickname my first granddaughter gave me, Guagua (pronounced gwa-gwa).
My first exposure to the public was at a local farmer’s market. There I realized that I had an incredible product that many people liked, a product that had the wow factor!! So, I decided to transform everything into a business with a serious projection.
At the end of 2023, I sought advice from a marketing company and we changed the image and name and started a more professional business with a long-term plan. In November of that same year, we launched @meltdcookies with the creation of the website.
Currently we have created eleven flavors, and in the future we plan to include options such as dairy free, gluten free, nuts free. Additionally, we are rehearsing and testing shipping to other cities and states.
Our vision is to bring a smile to every person who has the pleasure of trying our cookies, and for Meltd Cookies to be seen and known throughout the country.
