About The Cookie Tree: December 1981 brought the opening of The Cookie Tree. Two friends, after visits to San Francisco and other cities, decided they could make cookies just as good, if not better, than they were finding there. With a minimal amount of money, they set out and purchased used equipment, one oven, one pastry case, a used cash register, and found a small little location on Plumas Street in Yuba City, California, and opened their gourmet cookie bakery. With no money for advertising, they counted on the quality of their product and the service they could offer their customers to build the foundation of their business. It was a success! Three years later, one of the partners retired. Sue and Russ Smith are now the sole owners of The Cookie Tree. With a business 28 years old, they have expanded their company that now employs more than 20 people, donated thousands of dozens of cookies each year to their community, and have just expanded their physical location to a new beautiful 2, 500 square foot store.
