In 2005, we, Donna Drury-Heine and Bob Heine, proudly became the owners of Blue Chip Cookies, a cherished brand with a rich history. As the third owners, we are honored to have been stewards of this beloved company for 20 years, making us the longest-tenured owners in its journey. This March 2025, we’re thrilled to celebrate Blue Chip Cookies’ remarkable 42nd birthday!
Renowned for crafting exceptional gourmet cookies, Blue Chip Cookies has always stood the test of time because of its uncompromising commitment to the highest quality. Each of our cookies is perfectly portioned at 2 ounces—a satisfying size to savor every bite. We bake with the purest, USA-made ingredients, including Pure Cane Sugar (never beet sugar), AA Butter (no margarine), farm-fresh Eggs (not substitutes), Pure Vanilla Extract (no imitations), un-bromated Flour, and premium chocolates from Guittard and Ghirardelli. True to our commitment to quality, we never use preservatives, so every cookie is as fresh and natural as it is delicious.
The story of Blue Chip Cookies began in 1983 when our first store opened on San Francisco’s iconic Fisherman’s Wharf. We introduced cookie lovers to 15 gourmet flavors, including the groundbreaking White Chocolate Macadamia—still a fan favorite—and the unique Black & White. Of course, our signature Chocolate Chip Cookie, crafted with Guittard Semi-Sweet Chocolate, has been winning hearts for decades. Even Clint Eastwood once declared it, “The best cookie I’ve ever tasted!” Today, we proudly offer over 40 indulgent flavors throughout the year, with 25+ available daily online and a unique “Cookie of the Month” to surprise and delight.
While the 1990s brought challenges, including rising rents that led many mall stores to close, we saw an opportunity to pivot. After the iconic Fisherman’s Wharf store closed just a year into our ownership, we made a bold decision to focus on online growth. This strategy has earned us recognition as a leading destination for the finest gourmet cookies online. Now, we’re embarking on an exciting new chapter, expanding our brick-and-mortar presence with an innovative licensing program that makes it easier than ever to bake our legendary cookies from scratch in cozy retail spaces.
Our motto, “Life is Sweet, Enjoy Every Morsel!” is more than a tagline—it’s the heart of what we do. With cookies that are just the right size and made with nothing but the best, we’re proud to make life a little sweeter, one cookie at a time.
