About Us
Rooted in Ghana. Made in Virginia.
Dufies is a Ghana-inspired cookie brand born and made in Northern Virginia. It started with a lifelong love of Ghanaian food, the kind of love that begins in childhood, in kitchens filled with the aroma of nkate cake being made and the sweet depth of handmade toffee. Growing up surrounded by Ghanaian cooking shaped the way food was understood: as something personal, cultural and deeply comforting.
The idea behind Dufies was simple: take those familiar, nostalgic Ghanaian flavors and give them a new home inside a cookie. Not as a novelty, but as something genuinely delicious that honors where those flavors come from. Our nkate cake brittle and Ghana toffee are made from scratch by hand for every order.
Our cookies have crispy caramelized edges and a soft, fudgy center, baked fresh to order every week, never pre-made and frozen. When you order from Dufies you are getting something made with intention. A little piece of Ghana, handcrafted in Fairfax City.
Our Menu
Our Cookies
Pumpkin Spiced Achomo
A pumpkin-spiced dough folded with crunchy pumpkin-spiced achomo, a beloved Ghanaian fried snack, and pools of melted white chocolate throughout. Our cozy autumn flavor.
Kube Cake
A beloved Ghanaian street treat: coconut flakes cooked down in caramelized sugar until deep and chewy, then folded straight into the cookie dough for crunchy, toffee-like bites in every piece.
Yellow Label Tea
Every Ghanaian's favorite cup of tea: the familiar taste of steeped black Lipton tea, evaporated milk and sugar, baked into one warm cookie.
Choco-Malt
Flavored like a warm cup of Milo from childhood: chocolatey, chewy and extra wrinkly, with that unmistakable malted sweetness in every bite.
Tiger Nut Pudding
Inspired by Ghana's beloved atadwe pudding, our tiger nut inclusion brings a naturally sweet, nutty richness folded into a soft, fudgy center with crispy caramelized edges.
Nkate Cake
One bite of a Dufies Nkate Cake cookie and suddenly you're back in Ghana: roasted peanut brittle, caramelized and crunchy, folded into a soft fudgy center with crispy edges. Contains peanuts.
Ghana Toffee
Slow-cooked from scratch until deep, dark and impossibly rich; chewy bites of our Ghana toffee are folded throughout the fudgy center of every cookie. Pure comfort in every bite.
Ghana Chocolate
Single-origin Ghana chocolate, the same cacao Ghana is celebrated for worldwide, melted into rich molten pools throughout a soft fudgy center. A Signature Dufies experience.

About Dufies
Northern Virginia Β· Ghana-inspired Β· Made with intention
Dufies is a Ghana-inspired cookie brand based in Fairfax City, Virginia, built on a lifelong love of Ghanaian food and a belief that the flavors we grew up with deserve to be celebrated in new and delicious ways.
From childhood, food was always at the center of everything. Growing up surrounded by Ghanaian cooking: the aroma of nkate cake being made on the stove, the deep sweetness of toffee reducing in a pot, the distinct richness of Ghana chocolate. Those flavors became deeply personal. They were comfort, memory and home all in one. They were the flavors that made any occasion feel special and any ordinary day feel a little warmer.
Dufies was born from a simple question: what if those familiar, nostalgic Ghanaian flavors lived inside a cookie? Not as a novelty or a gimmick, but as something genuinely, seriously delicious, something that honors where those flavors come from while making them accessible to everyone. That question became a recipe. That recipe became a business.
Our nkate cake brittle and Ghana toffee are made completely from scratch by hand for every single order. Nothing is pre-made, nothing is frozen, nothing is rushed.
Our cookies have crispy caramelized edges and a soft, fudgy center that pulls apart in the most satisfying way. They are baked fresh to order each week in Fairfax City, Virginia and picked up by customers who understand that the best things take a little time and intention.
Dufies is for anyone who has ever tasted a Ghanaian flavor and felt something. And for anyone who hasn't yet, welcome. We cannot wait for you to try it.
Familiar flavors, in one perfect cookie.
