ince the beginning of quarantine, the smell of warm, gooey Dough Re Mi cookies has encompassed the kitchens of two highschool students as they package each fresh cookie with care for the Austin community. “During quarantine, everyone was obviously getting to know their kitchen,” says Alice Huang, baker and co-founder of Dough Re Mi. “We made a lot of things at home like crab cheese omelets, cinnamon rolls, whipped coffee and cookies, obviously. They stood out to us because they were quick, delicious, fairly easy to transfer and full of possibilities for creative flavors. So we decided on those, and everyone loves cookies, right?” High school students Alice Huang and Sarah Zeng launched their business journey of Dough Re Mi on May 20 as a way to use their time to help the city of Austin.
