Claude Cookies: Johns Hopkins football player launches baking business

Claude Strnad, a football player for Johns Hopkins University, has launched a cookie business called Claude Cookies. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, the business specializes in thick, New York-style cookies that weigh between 170 and 200 grams, significantly larger than the average 45 to 55-gram cookie.

Strnad, who serves as a long snapper for the Blue Jays, began baking as a hobby before formally debuting his products following a family dinner held in honor of his late father. The business offers various flavors, including cookies and cream, caramel coconut, classic chocolate chip, and pumpkin spice.
