Alabama’s First Cookie Plug to Host Grand Opening Saturday, First 50 to Score Freebies

The first Cookie Plug in Alabama is now officially serving its "thicc" desserts at 1425 McFarland Boulevard North, where it shares a building with the now-open Tropical Smoothie Cafe in the space that used to house the Chongwah Chinese restaurant.

Launched in California a few years ago, the fast-growing brand marries hip-hop culture, street-art aesthetics and decadent treats that are "part cookie, part cake, part brownie."

The bakery is serving sweet deals during a soft open on Thursday until 5 p.m. and Friday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. before a Saturday morning grand opening where folks can score giveaways.

On Facebook, Cookie Plug said the first 50 guests at the 11 a.m. grand opening Saturday will win one Free Cookie - called a Phattie - per week for a year.

The brand promises inspired desserts made with high-quality ingredients. The menu features a lineup of mouthwatering regulars like the "OG" chocolate chip cookie, the  "Pixie Junkie" sugar cookie and the "Purple Haze" with white chocolate chips, plus new limited-edition flavors arriving monthly.

Other deals are available looking ahead, with 7 massive cookies and a drink available for $20 on Sunday and Monday.
