Couple Behind the Cookie Dough Magic

The shop is currently being built out and it is estimated that it will be open sometime in October. Chris and Melissa Bell of Hayden, Alabama decided to open their cookie dough shop after visiting a similar shop in New York City.

Avondale

They chose Avondale because of its vibrant restaurant scene.  “After dinner at one of the fabulous Avondale restaurants people can stop by our shop for dessert,” said Melissa Bell, co-owner, Cookie Dough Magic.

Yummy, creamy Classic Chocolate Chip cookie dough was a crowd favorite at the tasting. There will be 10 cookie dough flavors on the menu when the shop opens in Oct.

Chris is the mastermind behind the scenes and has come up with all of the recipes. Some of the couple’s closest family and friends have been their ‘top secret taste testers’ over the past few months.  The couple is making their cookie dough in the chef’s kitchen in Hoover for their online sales while they wait for contractors to finish building out their shop in Avondale.

A special “Wedding Cookie Dough” will be available to buy for wedding showers!

Can’t Wait?

“We’ve have had an overwhelming response to our shop already,” said Chris Bell, co-owner of Cookie Dough Magic. “We had made tailgate boxes for Auburn and Alabama’s opening games and they sold out. We can’t  wait to offer all of our flavors to the public.
