Description
Jill Balick and Susie Schuster started The Cookie Joint® as a way to express their deep devotion to all things cookies, and their desire to make eating cookies fun again.
Susie is a former mosaic artist and Jill is a former jewelry designer. Their creativity and love for baking is what brought them together.
Cookie Fries, their signature cookies, are designed to look like crinkle-cut French fries. They blend Jill’s taste for sweet and Susie’s preference for salty, along with their combined sense of humor.
In October 2014, The Cookie Joint was on Oprah’s O list. Susie and Jill recently filmed a food network show called Food Fortunes and they were also featured in American Airlines in-flight magazine.
