Josephine’s Baking Company
About
Based in Dorchester, Josephine’s Baking Company makes handcrafted gluten-free cookies from a clean, simple list of natural, carefully selected ingredients. The cookies are made with less sugar and aim for a crispy texture, and the company pitches them as a healthy, tasty snack for everyone, not only for people who avoid gluten. Customers are invited to share their comments and feedback on the cookies.
Founder Lydda, known to friends and family as Mimi, is originally from Venezuela, where she built a career as an electronics engineer. After retiring she pursued baking and earned the title of professional baker and pastry chef. Around the same time, her 2-year-old nephew was diagnosed with a gluten allergy, and creating better gluten-free treats for him sparked the family business. Years of unrest in Venezuela later led Lydda and her husband to move to the United States.
