BlackNews.com

If you love great tasting chocolate chip cookies and were lucky enough to live in Los Angeles in the mid 1970's, THE place to go for the best tasting cookies was Wally Amos' first cookie store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Fast-forward 34 years later to the present day. Wally's "original recipe" cookies are back again. And you don't even have to drive to get them. They are as close as your computer keyboard at www.chipandcookie.com

After several decades away from the gourmet cookie business, (an industry that Amos is credited with creating), writing books, working as a motivational speaker, even hosting a PBS TV Literacy Series, and baking gourmet muffins ("Uncle Wally's"), among other things, the very active Mr. Amos decided that he really wanted to get back to his first love, baking and selling the absolutely best tasting cookies anywhere. And that is just what he is doing again. As Amos recently said, "I am absolutely delighted to be baking my delicious handmade cookies again for my millions of friends and fans."

Using his "original recipe" with pure butter, Watkins pure vanilla extract, lots of chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, and other natural ingredients, Wally went to work building a new bakery in Kailua, a small town on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, his home for the last 32 years. Wally appropriately named the new cookie business Chip & Cookie after two boy and girl Hawaiian characters that had been created years before by his wife, noted artist and print maker, Christine Harris-Amos. A second Chip & Cookie store has already opened in Honolulu on Waikiki Beach at the Royal Hawaiian Center, 2nd floor, upstairs behind the Apple® Store.

So many new customers told Wally that his Chip & Cookie brand cookies were the best they had ever eaten that Wally trademarked America's Best Tasting Cookies® as his new selling line. You can find out how true that statement is in just a few days by ordering Wally's signature flavor Chocolate Chip cookies, or any of his four other flavor cookies at the web site.

When you place an order at www.chipandcookie.com, your cookies will be handmade and fresh baked in Hawaii, then shipped out the same day via air using USPS Priority Mail®. Orders usually reach the East Coast in 3-4 days and the West Coast in 2-3 days.

Widely known as a passionate longtime advocate of early childhood literacy, Wally created an organization he called the Read It LOUD! Foundation several years ago to encourage parents to read aloud to their children for 10 minutes each day, especially from birth through age six. Wally's new cookie business, Chip & Cookie, LLC proudly supports the work of the Read It LOUD! Foundation by donating 10% of net profit to the Foundation. Wally so strongly believes in the benefits of early childhood literacy that he is often found reading to children in the dedicated reading areas set aside in each Chip & Cookie cookie store, complete with kid size chairs and dozens of his (and the kids) favorite children's books.
