Our Story

Shell-Bell’s Cookies started in our home.  We had a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that we shared with family and friends, and our original taste testers stated that the taste, texture and warmth of the sweet treat made them the “best chocolate chip cookie” they had ever eaten.  One friend told us “they’re like potato chips- I can’t eat just one.”  

So we took that to heart when we decided to start our cookie business in 2016.  We bought a trailer and turned it into a mobile-bakery so that we could share our cookies with others, on the go.  We named our business “Shell-Bell’s Cookies” after our sweet Mama Shelly- whose delicious recipe inspired this venture.   After hearing the potato chip comment, we decided to serve our oven-fresh chocolate chip cookies in one-dozen bags.  We quickly learned that one-dozen just wasn’t enough for our sweet-tooth customers, and the three-dozen bag of cookies quickly became our most popular product.  Our big oven “Helga” inside our trailer bakes 576 cookies every ten minutes, and we are now selling them as fast as we can cool them! 

Six years later, we’ve now shared our delicious cookies across most of south-central Alaska, and have since been expanding our menu to offer new ways to enjoy our family’s famous recipe!  That includes ice-cream cookie sandwiches and half-baked cookie pies served fresh on the hot summer days, and steamy hot-chocolate to compliment our warm cookies on the colder spring days.  We sell at local farmer’s markets, vendor fairs, and community events.  On special occasions, we also offer limited custom-order catering for individuals and businesses. 

Shell-Bell’s Cookies is a proudly woman-owned family business, and we strive to have each cookie product coming out to you fresh and hot.  We love serving this amazing community and are so thrilled that everyone loves our cookies as much as we do.  Thank you for your support!
