Absurdly thick cookies.
And so much more.

Hello Chonky didn't start in a bakery. It started in an IT office, where Greg Padgett spent 26 years and could not, for the life of him, get past a receptionist.

So he tried bribery. The legal kind. He printed his company logo on sugar cookies and brought them to meetings. They worked. Those logo cookies opened doors, and before long they weren't just getting meetings with clients. Other businesses wanted them, and politicians started ordering printed cookies for their campaigns.

Then came the 6oz cookies. When Greg's teenage boys started dancing in the kitchen after eating a Chonky Chip, he knew he was on to something.

A social media post, a tasting sample, and hundreds of cookies became thousands, until Kimberly kicked the bakery out of the house and Greg left IT for good to make cookies full-time.

Greg's son Gabriel named the place Hello Chonky, which is about right for a cookie that needs both hands.

We still make every bit of it in Enterprise, Alabama. Dough mixed by hand every morning, real Guittard chocolate, real butter, none of the weird stuff. We added the equipment to keep up, because making 10,000 cookies a week and shipping to 125 cities out of a home kitchen is a great way to lose your mind. The recipes never left the family, and they're not going anywhere.

The real reason any of this happened? Faith. We're convinced God opened the doors the cookies couldn't, and we've run the whole thing on that ever since. Faith and family first, kids raised right in the middle of the flour, grateful we get to make something this over-the-top for a living.

No half measures. No tiny cookies. Just Chonky.

Stay Chonky out there. 🍪
