Our cookies make great local gifts and are perfect for catering. Our many flavors make for a fun family treat where everyone can pick their favorites. We also provide a unique, fun group meeting space (bonus: it always smells like cookies coming out of the oven) with plenty of easy parking.

Our shop is open at 2237 Avent Ferry Rd in Raleigh, NC, just a stone’s throw from our State Farmer’s Market location, downtown Raleigh, Dix Park, and located between NC State University’s Main Campus and Centennial Campus. We also serve premium Homeland Creamery ice cream (think cookie shakes and custom made ice cream cookie sandwiches) and espresso drinks using locally roasted beans. Be sure to follow us on social media for updates and events such as monthly cookie & crochet nights.

About Us

Husband and wife owners, and long time Raleigh residents Darrin and April Morey, had a desire to work for themselves, baking the delicious family-recipe cookies April grew up baking. Along with re-creating nostalgic flavors such as molasses crinkle, and snickerdoodle, they also created unique flavors such as root beer float, and Mexican hot chocolate. Offering more than a dozen flavors of large, fresh-baked cookies, a visit to The Cookie People has become a sweet tradition for many triangle area families since 2008. While continuing to grow the business, as well as their son Mason, The Cookie People take pride in creating exceptional cookies that evoke fond memories of past generations’ cookie baking as an expression of love and connection.

Local, fresh ingredients

Our cookie magic is created by using the finest quality ingredients, including some from right here in North Carolina (for example, the honey in our Oatmeal Golden Raisin cookies is made by the local State Market company, Bee Blessed Honey). Our over-sized, soft and chewy, grandma-style cookies are nothing like store-bought. Our cookies start with dough we make locally from-scratch, minus additives and preservatives (cookies should not have a shelf life of six months!) and using only the highest quality ingredients.
