Shania Bryant, 19, launched Nia May's Bickies in Albury this month.
Shania's mum Tammy Bryant said her daughter loved baking, making it the ideal choice for a microbusiness.
"I have been baking my whole life and all of my children learnt to bake at home," she said.
The microbusiness is an offshoot of Purple Chicken, a social enterprise designed to find meaningful employment for young adults with a disability.

Founder Jen Tait said the microbusinesses tapped into young people's strengths.
Nia May's Bickies sold 45 packets while Ally's Doggo Treats sold 50 at a launch this month.
Purple Chicken has a range of Christmas cards too.
The money raised from the ideas will be streamed into a fund to support the ideas of young adults at Purple Chicken who have ideas for microbusinesses of their own.
