SHARE THE FUN OF COOKIES® Great American Cookies® takes pride in being the "Home of The Original Cookie Cake". Founded in 1977, we were the 1st Cookie Franchise in the United States; in fact, we've been manufacturing our dough in the same plant for over 30 years, using proprietary recipes unique to Great American Cookies. And because we control the supply chain, we ensure the quality of our cookie ingredients and offer our franchisees a lower cost of goods that can’t likely be attained by independent cookie stores. Whether it's a Cookie Cake, a dozen, a few or just one, our customers love the soft and delicious cookies and brownies from Great American Cookies. Customers see us as not just a cookie store, but a family tradition … creating a strong return customer base and recurring revenue through Cookie Cake sales. |  |
