Online Store Information

In 1979, David  Liederman was a top chef in New York City. At the time, boutique cookie shops
along the West Coast were everywhere and the smell of fresh baked, chocolate
chip cookies could be smelled for miles.

Chef David had the brilliant idea to bring this California trend back East, and
the first David’s Cookies store was
born in the heart of Manhattan. Passers by quickly fell in love with his funny shaped
cookies, which were always oven fresh and loaded with heaping chunks (not chips)
of chocolate. Chef David, trained in the finest French culinary academies, began
mixing and tasting; using only the finest, all natural, ingredients - pure vanilla,
butter, Swiss chocolate and whole nuts, he achieved his anticipated result; a uniquely
delicious cookie that looked and tasted “just like mamma made!”

The company was an immediate success and David’s brand of fresh baked cookies became
well known throughout the Northeast and across the country. Even his name created
a huge following and Davids everywhere ate up his cookies to gain one of the coveted
David’s
cookie tins. The delicious recipes won many awards, including the NY Newsday
Cookie Award for the Best
Chocolate Chunk Cookie. By the mid 1980’s, David’s Cookies was an international
franchise with over 250 cookie shops throughout the world.

With rising operating costs in the 1980s, many David’s Cookies storefronts closed
down. The company was purchased by Fairfield Gourmet Foods Corp - a New Jersey based
gourmet
dessert company who rejuvenated the David’s brand by introducing these high
quality cookies and frozen
cookie dough into the food service and co-branding industries. Then, in the
late 1990s, the company took the next step and made an online
cookie store. Today, David’s Cookies is the leading provider of fresh
baked cookies on the Internet, and continues to win awards including getting
voted one of Good Housekeeping Magazine’s 10 Best Mail-order Goodies for Giving
(or Serving), December 2007 for their mini cheesecake
selections. The David’s Cookies brand is also growing by leaps and bounds in the
corporate gifting
industry, with new additions to their cookie
gift basket selection, giant message
cookies and other great gift ideas.
