Kyri Mosley's story is an inspiring one. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma in 2019, Kyri underwent intense chemotherapy and eventually received news of remission. She then decided to leave the healthcare field and pursue her passion for baking full-time.
This decision to pursue baking was inspired by her love of cooking with her grandmother when she was younger. Additionally, Kyri found baking to be a source of comfort during a difficult time in her life, as she was dealing with the aftermath of a divorce.
Kyri's passion for baking did not go unnoticed. After sending coolers of treats to troops in Iraq, she received feedback from them that she should sell her cookies. This motivated Kyri to relaunch her brand in 2021, and open her first brick-and-mortar store in December 2022.
Kyri's Kookies, featuring flavors such as Chocolate Chunk, Oatmeal Cran-Raisin, and Zebra Macadamia, can be purchased online or in person from the Georgia store. However, Kyri has now gained the attention of a much larger audience, as her cookies were featured in Oprah Winfrey's list of Favorite Things for 2023.
When Kyri received the email about her feature on this year’s list, she was full of nerves. However, Oprah Winfrey praised Kyri's Kookies, stating, “The founder behind this box of ginormous cookies—chocolate chunk, oatmeal cran-raisin, Georgia pecan turtle, and more—promises a hug in every bite. She’s not wrong.”
Kyri Mosley has gone from distributing coolers of treats to troops to creating a successful business that has caught the eye of Oprah Winfrey. Kyri's Kookies have now been featured on Oprah Winfrey's list of Favorite Things, and have also been recognized by national hotel chains. Kyri's story is truly inspiring, and her cookies are a testament to her courage and passion.
