A new location of Pudgy’s Fine Cookies opened July 31 in the Heights at 1010 N. Shepherd Drive, Houston. The shop is run by Van Teamer, owner and creator of Pudgy’s, which previously operated as a pop-up shop at local markets in Houston, including the MKT Sunset Market.

The shop’s original Pudgy cookie offers a crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside chocolate chip cookie made with Callebaut chocolate. New flavors to be offered at the shop include Bonanza Brulee, a caramelized banana cookie with a creme brulee center.

“What began as a family pandemic project has become so much more," Teamer said in a press statement. "Our goal was to create an amazing cookie made with high-quality ingredients that made people smile. We’ve been blown away by how we’ve been received by Houston and can’t wait to share even more Pudgy cookies with our city and beyond with our new space.” 713-538-1503. www.pudgysfinecookies.com
