Business Description

Marissa and Jeff Allen, a husband and wife duo, birthed the idea for Cookie Society. Marissa has always had a passion for baking, and after a trip to NYC with her husband, she was inspired by a famous bakery's amazing cookies. She decided to create her version of the "Ultimate Cookie" with indulgent, crispy edges, chewy, and tender center. After months of recipe development, she achieved it! Starting with a Chocolate Chip cookie, Marissa created the famous Banana Pudding cookie, and the flavors expanded to over 70. She gave cookies to anyone who would take them, including her husband's teammates (a retired 8-year NFL veteran), who raved about them in the locker room. Marissa started receiving orders from her husband's teammates before she was officially selling her cookies. That's when Marissa and Jeff realized they could turn their passion into a business. After a year of brainstorming, they established Cookie Society in 2018.
