DOUGH, BOY!
Reviewed by: (201) Magazine, November 2007
Gourmet cookie mavens craving that “hot out of the oven” freshness needn’t make a special trip to the local bakery. Heating up a panful of OUTRAGEOUS COOKIE DOUGH from Bergen’s own FATBOY will provide that same melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The brainchild of Teaneck native Joel Ansh, Fatboy combines the delectable taste of the highest-end cookies with the ease of treats baked from slices off the cookie establishment’s ubiquitous rolls. These morsels come in precut cubes, one per cookie and packed 27 to a box, in six varieties ranging from America’s perennial fave, the chocolate “chunk” chip, to white chocolate macadamia to cranberry walnut, all with the finest ingredients available.
Ansh, the self-described Fatboy (“My friends used to call me that,” he says) has no cookie-cutter business here — he founded the company several years ago as a lark. But things began taking shape recently; now, Ansh has been making several thousand pounds of dough a month. Recently moved to Fair Lawn, the industrial distributor hopes in the near future to quit his day job and open a sizable retail outlet. For now, the dough — which has a six-week shelf-life when refrigerated, and a full year if frozen — is available only by mail. Order at www.fatboycookiecompany.com, or call (201) 796-1000.
