Our Story {tbt}.

This is the story of a 3rd generation Chicago entrepreneur. 

Chocolate chip cookie. So simple, yet excruciatingly frustrating. 

Have you ever noticed that all recipes use the same exact ingredients?  It’s the tweaking and creativity which sets them all apart.

Continuously searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Old cookbooks, family recipes and bloggers are a wealth of information. Everyone has an opinion; everyone has their perfect chocolate chip cookie.

I’ve had some bad chocolate chip cookies in my day;  stale little nuggets, cookies oozing with stuff that shouldn’t be in a cookie, or so raw I was sure botulism was lurking.

After 25 years of designing and manufacturing jewelry in Chicago & Rhode Island, less expensive raw materials & labor came along.  Determined to keep manufacturing in the USA, I found it increasingly impossible to compete. That was the beginning of the end of Linda Levinson Designs.

In 2014 my creativity turned to cookies. Hundreds of batches, tastings, failures,1000’s of calories consumed and big.fat.cookie was born.  

Big.fat.cookies are made in very small batches with the greatest attention to every single detail, with the same craftsmanship, enthusiasm and creativity brought to my jewelry. 

We hand form and weigh each dough ball (I strongly dislike scooped balls) adding individual chocolate chips to make sure the finished product is the correct weight and looks perfectly divine. After baking, each cookie is individually wrapped and packed and shipped. 

Big.Fat.Cookies are Chicago born and baked.

We recommend warming room temperature cookies @350 degrees 5-8 minutes for a melty chocolate inside, crispy outside.

Enjoy your cookies, we had so much fun creating them!
