This small-batch bakery redefines the art of baking. Linda Friend, owner and a member of the CHILL family, started Big Fat Cookie after 30 years of jewelry designing. She channeled her creativity into something sweeter, and we have been feasting on these treasures ever since. Dedication to the highest quality ingredients, unique combinations of flavors, and personal attention to each and every cookie drives her success not just in Chicago, but nationwide. She has a serious fan club of people that cannot live without BFCs. Each bite is a moment of pure bliss — yes, eating can be mindful and delicious. So, grab a cookie, take a bite, and join the a nourishing community of women supporting women.
