The Geelong-born business has gone from delivering deliciously giant loaded cookies around town to setting up a permanent shopfront.
After taking on the mouth-watering cookie-delivery market with its thick, New York-style cookies, Fat Cookie is officially opening its first store in Drysdale.
Located at 2/4 Clarendon Road, Drysdale, the store will swing open its cookie-loving doors on Saturday 10 June from 8am where customers will finally be able to pick up the famed loaded cookies that are big, thick and moist, packed with a bucketload of toppings and extra bits and bobs for a real chunky good time.
Keep up with the latest food and booze news across the region here.
Within the dedicated Fat Cookie shop, you’ll also find delicious and meticulous barista-made coffee (with Mikro Coffee Beans), tea and a selection of filling toasties.
To celebrate opening day, Fat Cookie will be giving away a free cookie to the first 20 customers.

This is an exciting new step forward for Fat Cookie. The business originally launched back in 2021, after Geelong couple Jasmine and Jase Vernon were inspired by Melbourne’s loaded cookie craze.
Armed with a passion for baking, the couple were inspired to come up with their own loaded cookie recipes. As the name suggests, the landed on thick, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly chewy dough creations, all of which could be ordered straight to your door.
Popular creations include the likes of ‘Deez Nuts’ loaded with all things goey, crunchy peanut, topped with Reeces Cups and peanut butter filled pretzels; the ‘cookie monster’ packed with oreo cookies, cookies and cream chocolate and topped with Oreo crumble; the ‘Golden Child’ that’s loaded with salty pretzel and legendary biscoff spread, topped with Lotus biscoff crumble; the ‘Cherrish Me’ loaded with dark Cherry Ripe chocolate topped with bits of Cherry Ripe; and ‘The Real Slim Shady’, loaded with Nutella and M&Ms and topped with mini M&Ms.
There’s also the ‘Kinda’ My Thing’ made up of salty pretzels, Nutella, kinder chocolate, and mini marshmallows; the ‘Bueno ’s Dias’ loaded with Biscoff spread, Nutella and pretzels, topped with Bueno chocolate and Biscoff crumble; and lastly, ‘The Full Minty’, loaded with classic mint patty, peppermint chocolate, topped with bubble Aero and dusted with peppermint crisp.
Newer additions include the ‘John Lemon’, loaded with shortbread biscuit chunks and zesty lemon curd; ‘pineapple clinkspress’ with clinkers and pineapple lumps; and even cookies inspired by Rocky Road, Kit Kat and more. There’s also vegan and gluten-free cookies available too!
Beginning delivering these thick creations around the region, direct to customers doors, Fat Cookie then expanded to the cafe market providing regular ‘Lil’ Fats’ (smaller Fat Cookies) to cafes like Fleur Wolves in Geelong, Kuyu Torquay, Cafe El Nido, as well as running stalls at markets across the region.
The storefront marks the perfect next step for the business, now gifting their customers a real-life destination to consistently pick up these delights.
