Q. How did Ellison Bakery begin?
A. Ellison Bakery was started by Don Ellis in 1945 as a one-man operation in the family garage in Fort Wayne,
A. Indiana. Don baked, sold, produced and delivered high-quality retail baked goods to restaurants and grocers
A. throughout the area. Don was a visionary who turned his love for fine quality baked goods into a food service
A. business, and one of the finest family-owned bakeries in the area that is still thriving 64 years later.
Q. Why is being a “family-owned” business important?
A. At Ellison Bakery, we take pride in our heritage, our history and our family name. Making soft, chewy cookies in
A. our homestyle cookie bakery is much more than just a job… it’s our passion! While some people may have been
A. born with silver spoons in their mouths, we like to think we were born with wooden spoons in our hands! Our
A. tried and true recipes have been passed down and allow us to deliver the best soft, chewy cookies that we can
A. to our customers... from our family to yours.
Q. Where can I buy your soft baked cookies?
A. Our homestyle cookies are currently being rolled out to various locations, so please ask your local grocer if they
A. carry Ellison Bakery cookies. Also, check our site regularly for updates to the areas that will soon be carrying
A. our delicious soft baked cookies.
Q. Can I order cookies from your website?
A. Because we want to fully support our network of Ellison cookie distributors, ordering from our website is not
A. possible, however we encourage you to ask your favorite grocer if they will carry Ellison Bakery Cookies.
Q. Are your bakery cookies Kosher?
A. Yes, all of our cookies are Circle UD Kosher certified, under the Orthodox Union Rabbinical supervision. Each
A. package of our bakery cookies is marked with the Circle UD emblem.
Q. Are your homestyle cookies gluten free?
A. While our homestyle cookies are made with the finest ingredients and the highest standards, we,
A. unfortunately, cannot achieve our distinct flavors with gluten-free ingredients.
Q. How can I get information about allergens in your soft chewy cookies?
A. Ellison consistently adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices as established by the FDA. Not only do we take
A. abundant precaution to prevent cross-contact of allergenic ingredients between batches of our soft chewy
A. cookies, but our bakeries are also inspected to ensure that they meet or exceed all regulatory and baking
industry standards. However, the possibility of inadvertent cross-contact of allergenic ingredients during
A. processing is still present. To that end, we disclose that the following allergenic ingredients are used in our
A. manufacturing facility and that inadvertent cross contact among our homestyle cookies is possible: wheat, milk,
A. eggs, soy, peanuts and tree nuts. Please refer to ingredient labels on each package of our soft baked cookies
A. for detailed listings of the ingredients used.
Q. How are your cookies best enjoyed?
A. Our bakery cookies can be enjoyed right out of the package or with any of the suggestions listed here:

Q. What is the shelf life of Ellison Cookies?
A. Due to the high moisture content of our cookies that makes them so soft and chewy, our cookies are best
A. enjoyed for up to 12 weeks after leaving our bakery. This is much shorter than the 16 to 24 week shelf life of
A. many other packaged cookies.
Q. Do you have any other flavors coming out?
A. Yes! Ellison will soon have macaroon, windmill and frosty lemon cookies available for your enjoyment. We will
A. also continue to create new flavors based on our testing and your comments. Additionally, we will have a
