ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - Growing up in St. Louis, the taste of a Dad’s Original Scotch Oatmeal cookie is one of those classic flavors.

The crispy, crunchy cookies have been around for over a century but now the company based out of South St. Louis City is celebrating a new milestone.

We sat down with Chad Huber, one of the three brothers who purchased the long-standing business last year. Like so many of us, Chad has memories of growing up with Dad’s Cookies. He shares the history and the plans for the future in this episode. You might not know that Dad’s Cookies isn’t originally from St. Louis. It started off in California and became a franchise, but now St. Louis is the only place baking the classic cookies, and they’re shipped around the country every day.

If you haven’t visited the storefront, you should drive down Louisiana Avenue in South St. Louis to step inside the building that’s stood the test of time.

The storefront is open Monday -Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
