About Kristen Tomlan
Kristen Tomlan is the Founder of DŌ, Cookie Dough Confections, the world’s first edible cookie dough confectionery. Her unique take on the formerly forbidden treat is a viral success and has inspired millions of customers worldwide to eat cookie dough just how they crave it -- straight out of the mixing bowl! Her flagship shop in New York City’s Greenwich Village garners hours-long lines and has captured the attention of leading outlets including The New York Times, the TODAY show, People magazine, Forbes, O, The Oprah Magazine, and The Food Network. Her brand has grown to include multiple retail outlets & pop-ups, a booming e-commerce business, hands-on baking classes at The AcaDŌmy, and at-home safe-to-eat cookie dough mix! Her first cookbook, Hello, Cookie Dough: 110 Doughlicious Confections to Eat, Bake, and Share debuted in October of 2019. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, daughter, and rescue pup. Entrepreneur Neil Hershman, the owner and CEO of 16 Handles, New York City's leading self-serve frozen yogurt franchise with over 30 locations, acquired the famously innovative edible and bakeable cookie dough brand, DŌ, Cookie Dough Confections in January 2023. Kristen Tomlan, alongside Hershman, will continue to play an integral part in this new stage of growth as the Chief Brand Officer.
