Teaneck native Joel Ansh says he got the nickname “fat boy” by scarfing food off friends’ plates. He sells a product that could earn others a similar moniker. Fat Boy’s Outrageous Cookie Dough comes in two-pound boxes of 27 frozen, pre-cut cookies in six varieties.
Ansh learned baking from his mother, and in college cooked for friends. He runs an industrial products supply company, but in 2003 decided he could spread more joy with cookies. His Fair Lawn company churns out about 3,000 pounds of dough a month. The cookies will soon be available at supermarkets, but for now order from fatboycookiecompany.com or 888-fatboy0.
Oh, and they’re good, real good.
