Cindy Lou’s Cookies is a classic cookie shop specializing in big, old fashioned seriously delicious cookies, that are intended to warm the heart and nourish the soul.

Cindy Kruse is an American Pastry Chef who has been making people happy with her delicious desserts for over 20 years. After graduating from Boston University with a Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management in 1990, Cindy studied at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Upon graduation, Cindy became part of the opening team for Wolfgang Pucks’ Spago in Las Vegas. The year was 1992.

In the next decade, Cindy worked with some of the best chefs in the United States including Emeril Lagasse, Charlie Trotter, Charlie Palmer and Jean Georges Vongerichten, mentors she credits for her culinary philosophy and overall success. In 2003, Cindy was tapped by then boss, Charlie Palmer, of Aureole fame, to co-create the desserts for the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. To this day, Cindy remembers that event as “not only one of the hardest, but most rewarding experiences of my culinary career”.

In the summer of 2005, Cindy became the Executive Pastry Chef at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami. Upon the closing of the Resort for renovation, Cindy worked for the famed Barton G, where she oversaw all the catering and restaurant dessert production for two years.

About Author

Paola Mendez is a hypnotherapist, published author, and the curious soul behind Coral Gables Love and The Blogger Union. Her journey didn't start in a clinician's office — it started at age 15, battling a mind that used food to quiet a constant internal critic. After two decades at war with her own subconscious, searching for peace as a self-described "introvert in a loud world," Paola found her way out through hypnotherapy. That same journey pushed her out into the city she loves, discovering the gems hiding in plain sight all around Coral Gables. Today, she channels both passions into everything she does: helping people quiet their inner critic through her hypnotherapy practice Pao Hypnosis, sharing those subconscious healing tools through her app Mochi Zen, and showcasing the people, places, and flavors that make South Florida worth savoring — one matcha latte at a time. She is also the author of A Taste of Coral Gables, a cookbook featuring recipes from the city's top chefs. Say hello at info@coralgableslove.com
