About

About Great American Cookies

Great American Cookies was founded in 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, making it one of the original mall-based specialty cookie retailers in the United States. The brand pioneered the concept of fresh-baked, made-to-order cookies sold in high-traffic retail environments, and quickly became a fixture in American shopping malls throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Today, the chain operates more than 350 locations nationwide, almost exclusively in enclosed malls and outlet centers.

The chain's most iconic creation is the Double Doozie — two oversized soft-baked cookies with a generous layer of buttercream frosting sandwiched between them. Introduced in the brand's early years, the Double Doozie has remained the top-selling item on the menu for decades and is widely credited with helping establish the indulgent "mall cookie" as an American cultural touchstone. Cookie cakes, introduced as a celebration alternative to traditional birthday cakes, are another pillar of the business; customers can order them plain or request custom frosting messages and decorations.

Great American Cookies is owned by FAT Brands Inc., which also owns Marble Slab Creamery, Round Table Pizza, and several other retail food concepts. Many Great American Cookies locations are co-branded with Marble Slab Creamery, allowing guests to combine freshly baked cookies with hand-crafted ice cream in a single stop. The brand sources its dough recipes from a central commissary to ensure consistency across franchise locations, though individual stores bake fresh throughout the day.
