How Bigfoot Cookies Snuck Onto a National List

DoorDash had not thrown darts at a map. This list was compiled around customer demand, order growth, and overall popularity during the holidays. In other words, people weren’t just ordering Bigfoot Cookies. They were ordering them a lot.

Bigfoot Cookies is one of those Missoula staples that doesn’t cry for recognition. No gimmicks. No overthinking it. And also, solid cookies that come out warm and perform just as a cookie should.

Apparently, that formula works everywhere.

Missoula Pride, but in Cookies

This is all so Missoula. A local shop chugging along, not thinking too much about it all, and then blam, we’re on a national list with cities 10 times our size.

It’s the same energy as a local band that suddenly blows up without ceasing to be itself. Or that dive bar you love, being discovered by a travel site. You are proud but also a little possessive.

Like, yeah, we knew already.

No drama. No hype machine. Just cookies.
