ABOUT US
One Big American Dream
It all started with one big American Dream, a husband and wife, their four spunky kids and the passion to change the taste and composition of beloved junk food treats. American Dream Cookie Company was founded by Lea and Mark Hurley who believe in the power of small batch, handcrafted quality, and making everything with love.
Where it All Began: Gourmet Nut Butter
"There would be no cookies, if at first there wasn’t nut butter!"
Lea started making her own nut butters after developing a number of food intolerances that prevented the enjoyment of some of her favorite junk food. Setting up shop in her own kitchen, Lea’s creative genius was unleashed as she discovered how to develop nut butters that taste like dessert, yet still remained healthy! Each handcrafted jar of gourmet nut butter is low carb, low sugar and features a boost of grassfed, lactose-free whey protein (with vegan options too!). She kept this recipe to herself for years, until Mark finally convinced her to bring butters to a local bodybuilding competition nearly five years ago. It was a huge hit and with that, American Dream Nut Butter was born! What makes American Dream Nut Butter different? We like to let the quality speak for itself! Lea personally sources every ingredient, from premium farms to best in class manufacturers. Each jar of nut butter is also handcrafted in small batches, to order. No sitting on a store shelf or in a remote fulfillment center. The hands that make your jar also package and ship it, truly a family affair! Even better, each jar also gives back! The Hurleys donate 10% of all American Dream Nut Butter proceeds to sending care packages to our troops overseas.
