A Message From Our Founder

When I started on this journey, my goal was to create a memorable gift that everyone would enjoy, not only receiving but also giving- from birthdays to life celebrations to holidays. Our cookies are of the highest quality, baked fresh and hand decorated to order with care and attention. We pride ourselves in the highest attention to detail and the most delicious recipes.

We see cookies as a blank canvas and the ability to customize a gift is appealing to customers who have a lot of choices today for unique gifts. In addition, the stores across the country offer same-day delivery, so that personal touch goes a long way. Our customers continue to turn to Cookies by Design to help them deliver personal and creative expressions to others in a unique and fun way.

Thank you for your patronage. We hope you enjoy your cookies as much as we enjoy creating them for you.

Wishing you the happiest of celebrations,
Gwen Willhite
Founder

Over 30 Years of Cookie Gift Giving

The newly successful entrepreneur moved to a location in nearby, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Then in 1986 when things really picked up, Gwen moved her business to Dallas, Texas.

After the Dallas business was established, Gwen turned her attention to the numerous requests from others wishing to start their own Cookie Bouquet franchise. The first franchised Cookie Bouquet location opened in 1987 and the momentum has been growing ever since. To better reflect all of the creative, unique and customized products sold, Cookie Bouquet locations changed their names to "Cookies by Design" in 2004. Today Cookies by Design has almost 100 stores nationwide with franchise territories still for sale.

Our Cookies by Design locations service all your cookie needs, from birthday gift baskets to get well gift baskets. We can accommodate all holiday, special occasion gift needs, gourmet cookie delivery and even corporate gifts!
