Story of our COOKIES

Our Message is in Our Cookies.

Back in the 1970’s, Wally Amos, gained acclaim for producing his deliciously unique Famous Amos® Chocolate Chip Cookies in Hollywood, CA.

Sadly (for everyone who loved his cookies), Amos and his investors ended up selling out to Keebler's® and soon thereafter "Famous Amos® Cookies" began appearing on grocery stores shelves.

Imagine our surprise when we discovered that the cookies being sold under the Famous Amos® name were NOT the Famous Amos® Cookies that we knew and loved! -the iconic American cookie had been replaced by a "mass-market" cookie that embarrassed the legend (our opinion).

As a cookie lover I felt this was wrong, however, as a businessman I knew that Keebler’s® had every right to do whatever they wanted. I took this as a personal affront and vowed to someday set the record straight.

Well, it's taken almost 40 years and call us crazy, but we had to do it!

We painstakingly remastered and upgraded the original cookie with REAL Butter, FRESH Eggs, MADAGASCAR Vanilla and IMPORTED Chocolate Chips. THESE ARE DEFINITELY NOT MASS MARKET COOKIES. They're bite-sized, crunchy, slightly over-baked, not overly sweet AND NOT to everyone's liking. We bake in small batches and are privileged to be able to produce our singularly un-compromised cookies for you and proud to return a small, but meaningful, icon back to its rightful place in the American story.

Most importantly our little cookies embody all of the immutable qualities AND SPIRIT that made the Famous Amos® Cookies famous.

Our mission transcends money. Our only purpose is to re-establish a place where untainted ideals, uncompromised quality & the propagation of happiness reign supreme. Our production is limited and we can only promise that WE'LL never sell out.


Our cookies are dedicated to everyone who is unwilling to compromise their ideals for dollars.


P.S. Obviously, we are not associated in any way with the Famous Amos® Brand, or Keebler's®, which are both owned by Kellogg’s® (a very BIG company). AND, please don’t interpret our writing as being disparaging of the present Famous Amos® Cookies. We’re sure that some people really like them…!

Famous Amos, Keebler’s & Kellogg’s are Registered Trademarks owned by Kellogg’s.
