Carol's Cookies

Growing up in Saginaw, Michigan, Carol Goldman spent the Holiday season baking cakes, cookies, and pies with her mother, and over the course of 20 years she perfected her recipes for her signature chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies, which clock in at a half-pound each. When she first started selling them at a specialty grocery store in 1979 they sold out within hours, and in 1983 her cookies were named America’s fourth-best by People Magazine, beating Mrs. Field’s and Famous Amos and putting Carol and her cookies on the map.

Today, Carol’s Cookies are recognized as some of America’s best, and they can be found at specialty grocery stores nationwide. The recipes haven’t changed at all over the years, and all cookies are delivered within 48 hours of emerging from her ovens.
