Some restrictions applyFinally answering the question: Who put the cookies in the cookie jar?! Our Signature Glass Cookie Jar is a great display piece for any countertop and evokes a feeling of nostalgia. Benjamin T. Byrd Sr. began the legacy by bringing his Scotch Oatmeal cookies hand-stacked, in wooden crates, to refill the jars in local mercantile.
In 1924, Benjamin Tillman “Pop” Byrd, Sr. began baking small batches of Scotch oatmeal cookies at his bakery in Savannah, Georgia. He would pack the cookies in wooden crates and personally deliver them to neighborhood markets in his Ford Model T. In 1929, he opened a bakery called Byrd’s Famous Cookies. The fourth generation runs the cookie shop today offering an expanded line-up of cookies, including Key Lime Coolers, Benne Wafers, and Georgia Peach cookies. Byrd’s Key Lime Cooler was the first cookie to ever win the Dessert of the Year award at the NASFT Fancy Food Show.

A Southern Family Legacy Since 1924
A Southern Family Legacy Since 1924
In 1924, Benjamin Tillman “Pop” Byrd, Sr. began baking cookies in downtown Savannah, Georgia. Pop delivered them around town in his Model T Ford, sold at “2 for a penny” and quickly adored by locals. As demand grew, he converted a tin-sided barn into a larger bakery and christened it “Byrd’s Famous Cookies.” After World War II, his son “Cookie” Byrd, Jr. took over, continuing the family tradition and expanding into a new brick bakery in 1957. In 1988, Cookie’s daughter Kay and her husband Benny brought new life to the brand, packaging Byrd’s cookies in colorful 6-inch tins that became synonymous with Southern hospitality and cemented its reputation as one of the country’s great cookie companies.
Today, Byrd’s is run by fourth-generation CEO Stephanie Lindley, and Stephanie’s son Jamie is waiting in the wings. More than a century after its founding, Byrd’s Famous Cookies remains a family-led company dedicated to carrying on Pop’s legacy through signature cookies like Scotch Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and award-winning Key Lime Cooler — and they’re all shipping nationwide!
