What is Runner’s High Cookies
Meet the Team
the baker
and owner
Howdy, my name is Logan Russell, and I am the face behind Runner’s High Cookies. I am currently a Senior at Texas A&M University studying in RPTS with a minor in Urban Planning.
When I am not trying my best to earn a degree, you can either find me running or baking cookies for friends and family when I get the chance. These passions of mine have led me to create my own small business that specializes in making homemade gourmet cookies.

Our Values
Our Cookies origins
My passion for baking originated when my Mom taught me the family cookie recipe that my Grandma had started. This was the first batch of cookies I made and the creation of my original cookie, The Start Line. Later, I convinced my high school Cross Country team to sell my cookies to fundraise for the team. After many hours of baking, we raised a considerable amount to fund the Cross Country team during my junior and senior years of high school.
About 2 years later, during a trip to NYC, I visited some of the best bakeries there and realized my cookies could be better. Cookie after cookie, I sought to improve my recipe to deliver the best taste, quality, and flavors while still staying true to my Grandma’s original recipe. Finally, after nearly 4 years of baking, encouragement from friends & family, and with the help of a KitchenAid mixer, I believe I have crafted a cookie that is sure to make anyone’s day.
Behind the name
As these cookies began with their origins in running, I wanted to continue that legacy. “Runner’s high” is a term used to describe hormones, called endorphins, released following intense exercise, creating a deeply relaxing state of euphoria. While runner’s high is often rare, I wanted to craft a cookie that will bring that same state of joy and delight in every bite. I believe I have done just that. That’s why I have chosen the name Runner’s High Cookies to sell my cookies. Along with the name, each cookie’s flavor name is based on common running terminology or jargon to keep its running theme.
