Platine Cookies

Culver City, California

Each handmade cookie that platine produces is created from all natural ingredients, mixed in a small batch from an original recipe, baked under the proprietor's watchful eyes, and artistically hand-packaged. Named one of the Top 20 Bakeries in LA by Los Angeles Magazine, platine’s retail store in Culver City has become a local favorite for a clientele with sophisticated tastes. platine also has the capabilities to customize “Couture Cookies™;” hand decorated cookies that look good, taste good, and are designed according to the specifics of each client. All recipes have been developed by our chef and founder, Jamie Cantor.

Our Story

I decided to put the focus of our website on cookies because they are my favorite thing to make, and my favorite thing to eat! I am really proud of all of my recipes and all the handiwork that goes into each item: it is important to me that our cookies not only look good, but taste good, too.

-Chef Jamie Cantor

The chef behind platine, Jamie Cantor, lives, plays, and bakes in Venice, California. Jamie grew up in Miami Beach, Florida, where early on she showed a passion and talent for baking and pastries. Jamie grew up enjoying the relaxed and cosmopolitan lifestyle the beach city offered and learning to cook from her mother and grandmother.

After graduating from Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Jamie received an Associates Degree from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. While in Hyde Park, Jamie was awarded the 1998 Women Chefs and Restaurateurs Scholarship, which enabled her to continue her culinary education at the CIA Greystone Campus in the Napa Valley, CA. After completing her studies and receiving a Certificate in Baking and Pastry Arts, she began work at The French Laundry restaurant as Chef de Partie alongside James Beard Award recipient chef Thomas Keller, and Pastry Chef of the Year Award recipient Stephen Durfee. In late 2001 after several years at the French Laundry and a brief sojourn in Dallas, Texas, Jamie decided to follow her sweet tooth and moved to Los Angeles to begin platine.

For over two decades, every time Jamie has been asked "What is your favorite thing to make?" she consistently replied - "cookies!". Chef Jamie combines the high standards that she learned in her formal training along with a great deal of passion and a sense of humor to make Platine Cookies a superior product. After tasting platine's freshly baked cookies, it will be obvious to you that Jamie has developed each recipe with great care.
