Antonina Ciarcia (Nina) married Angelo Mazza in her home town of Canicattina Bagni, Italy on April 11, 1949. Later that year, they emigrated to the United States - settling in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Nina's Cookies owner's, Maryann (Mazza) Whitehead & Lucille Mazza carry on the traditions they learned in their mother’s kitchen. Traditions passed from generation to generation.

At Nina's Cookies we bake traditional Italian cookies, made by hand, using only the finest ingredients. Each batch is lovingly mixed, baked under a watchful eye and cooked to perfection. It's a difference we're sure you'll taste.
