“She’s always been a great cook,” Jeff said. “She’s always been a food blogger.”
Located on Dallas Parkway, Cookie Society serves over 70 cookie flavors as well as lemon bars, cinnamon rolls and brownies.
The idea for the business started when Marissa would bake cookies for Jeff and his teammates during his time as a professional football player in the NFL.
“After every win, she’d send cookies to the locker room for pretty much a majority of my career,” he said.
Jeff’s teammates then started ordering Marissa’s cookies around the holidays, he said.
“A light bulb kind of went off,” Jeff said. “[We thought] maybe we can turn this into a business."
The couple then decided to start Cookie Society as an online business three years ago, Jeff said.
Jeff and Marissa later moved to North Texas to be closer to family, and they decided on Frisco to be Cookie Society’s brick-and-mortar location, he said.
But the storefront opened around a month after COVID-19 arrived in North Texas.
“It was tough,” Jeff said. “We kind of opened during the shutdown where you couldn’t let anyone indoors.”
The couple managed the business through takeout and curbside orders, Jeff said. The inside of the bake shop is now open with floor markers for social distancing, plexiglass at the counter and a rule limiting entry to three parties at a time.
Jeff said the bake shop’s “innovative” flavors help Cookie Society stand out.
“I don’t know of many bakeries in the country that have a banana pudding cookie or a strawberry shortcake cookie,” he said.
Jeff said the Frisco community has been supportive of the new business. Cultivating a great product and customer relationships will continue to be at the center of Cookie Society’s mission, he said.
“We want to be a staple in the DFW community,” he said.
