BEST BARBEQUE SAUCE ON THE PLANET

Cookies BBQ Sauce History

Cookies Food Products, manufacturer of "the award-winning sauces America loves to eat," had its start in a small town in Northwest Iowa. L.D. Cook of Wall Lake, Iowa, produced the first batch of Cookies Bar "B""Q" Sauce in his kitchen in 1976. A year later, Speed Herrig, another local Wall Lake resident, took over the sales duties and hit the road selling his outdoor cooking product out of the back of his pickup. His hard work and persistence paid off. In 1984, Herrig bought the company from Cook. At that time the sauce was being bottled in a small building on the edge of town. Today, Cookies products are still produced in Wall Lake, but Herrig and the Cookies crew are housed in a modern 105,000 square foot manufacturing facility.

Cookies BBQ Sauce Product Line

From humble beginnings, the Cookies product line has grown to include three flavors of Bar "B""Q" Sauce: Cookies Original, Cookies Western Style and Cookies Country Blend. Other Cookies products include Cookies Wings-N-Things Hot Sauce, Cookies Taco Sauce and Dip, and Cookies Mild and Medium Premium Salsas. Cookies Flavor Enhancer All-Purpose Seasoning is a dry mixture of secret ingredients that can be sprinkled on everything from meat to vegetables to popcorn.
