History[edit | edit source]
The recipe for Berger Cookies was brought to the United States by Henry Berger, a German American immigrant, in the 19th century. Henry Berger started a bakery in East Baltimore, and the cookies quickly became a local favorite. The bakery has since changed hands but continues to produce the cookies using the original recipe.

- Chocolate fudge: The top of the cookie is covered with a thick layer of rich chocolate fudge icing.
Production[edit | edit source]
Berger Cookies are produced by DeBaufre Bakeries, which has been making the cookies since the 1960s. The production process involves baking the shortbread cookies and then hand-dipping them into the chocolate fudge icing, ensuring each cookie has a generous amount of icing.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
