About Us

The History of Famous Amos

It all began in 1975 at a bakery on Sunset Boulevard. Big was in, but Wally Amos dared to go small and perfected the ultimate bite-size chocolate chip cookie. He used only the best ingredients from an original family recipe to create the cookie you know and love. From there, the Famous Amos story became a Hollywood success story. Iconic musicians and other Hollywood celebrities began singing the praises of the delicious cookies from a small bakery on Sunset.

From the beginning, it was always Wally Amos’s core belief that you make a tastier cookie if you use high-quality ingredients. And that’s been our recipe for success from 1975 through today.
