About and visit notes

Welcome to the heart of New Jersey's dessert scene, where a confectionery revolution is underway, all thanks to the incredible creativity atBarbara's Hand Made Cookie Pies. Located right here in Manalapan Township, this local gem has mastered the art of the 'cookie-in-a-cookie,' an indulgent, shareable dessert that brings together the best of a gourmet cookie and a deep-dish pie. For New Jersey residents planning a party, seeking a unique corporate gift, or simply craving an unforgettable treat, Barbara's offers a distinctive, handcrafted experience that sets it apart from your everyday bakery.

The core product, the Cookie Pie, is the signature creation that has earned this business its glowing reputation. What exactly is a Cookie Pie? Imagine everything you love about a freshly baked, chewy, buttery cookie—now, super-sized and baked into a pie form with a rich, molten, and gooey center. It is essentially a thick, buttery cookie dough base and crust, generously stuffed with various premium fillings and toppings, all baked to golden-brown perfection. It's a dessert that slices like a pie but eats like the world's most luxurious cookie. It’s perfect for sharing, serves beautifully as a centerpiece, and is truly an evolution in the world of gourmet sweets.

Barbara's commitment to quality is evident in every bite. Their base begins with an authentic butter cookie dough, often a family recipe passed down through generations, ensuring a rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. This is then layered with high-quality, fresh ingredients like fruit preserves, creamy peanut butter, real chocolate, and buttercream, creating a multi-layered texture and bold flavor experience that a traditional cake or pie simply cannot match. This dedication to artisan, small-batch baking ensures that every product leaving the Manalapan location is fresh and crafted with care.

    Barbara, of Barbara's Cookie Pies, is the most responsive business owner I have ever encountered! And, her products are fresh, delicious and SO unique when you put your own touch on them. I ordered these cookies with my professional organization logo, for an upcoming summit. They arrived so beautifully wrapped, with ice packs and lovely custom-made seals on the box that held them. I know they will be a huge hit at my meeting. Barbara turns orders around very quickly and also is responsive via email to answer any questions I may have. Every time I order from this business, I am delighted!

    I ordered some personalized Oreo's from Barbara. I needed them shipped quickly as they were a gift for some family members, and Barb worked tirelessly to make that happened. She called and texted me every step of the way to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted, and even went above and beyond to wrap them in a way to make them extra special. This is by far the best customer service experience I have ever had. She has my highest recommendation and I will order from her again in the future.

    I have ordered cookie gifts that Barbara has shipped to other parts of New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Florida. She has created custom cookie favors for my daughter's baby shower. Her cookies are fresh and delicious! She takes the extra time to customize each product to meet your needs. Her service is outstanding. I highly recommend her company!
