Melt in your mouth cookie goodness is always on tap at Byrd’s Famous Cookies. To get to Gatlinburg’s favorite cookie shop, you just have to jet down the Parkway until you see the iconic Fannie Farkle’s Family Fun Parlor. Right next door, you will find all the sweet and savory cookies you could ever imagine, including their ever-popular Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits.
As you walk through the door, you will immediately get a friendly hello and open invitation to try the cookies of your choice. With just a single taste of your selections, you’ll undoubtedly marvel at just how they packed so much flavor into such a tiny package. Then, you might wonder how you are supposed to leave without bringing them all home with you.
Fortunately, in addition to selling their cookies by the flavor, you can also buy variety packs, like their 6-Pack Cookie Carrier. With that move, you do not have to choose between the options. You can simply treat yourself to a small amount of each one. No matter how many you buy, you’re sure to want to come back for more before long. So, get what you need, and then start planning your trip back to stay stocked up on all the best flavors.
Their top cookie flavors include:
Cheddar Pecan Biscuits
When you think of cookies, your mind doesn’t likely go straight to nuts and cheese, but that’s what makes the Cheddar Pecan Biscuits so magical. Chockful of savory flavors, these biscuits will satisfy cravings you never knew you had. They pair well with even more nuts and cheese, giving you a double dose of rich and savory delights in every bite.
Maple Wafers
Who needs a full pancake breakfast when you have a bag of Maple Wafers on your side? No one, that’s who! These ultra-sweet cookies come filled with tons of buttery, maple flavor, making it difficult to stop shoveling them into your mouth. Try to save some for later, however, since they are also a fantastic way to end the day.
Key Lime Coolers
With their fresh fruit juice inside and citrus powdered sugar all over the outside, the Key Lime Coolers offer the perfect balance of tart and sweet. They are especially good straight from the fridge if you can manage to get them home without snacking them all down. If you need to skip the wheat, ask about their gluten-free version instead.
Confetti
When you want to gobble down cookies that are as delicious as they are cute, you’ll want to get the Confetti flavor. Made using colorful sprinkles, these sugar cookies have a crisp crunch and sugary finish that you’re quite likely to love. After just a single bite, you’ll want to make them a central part of all your future celebrations.
