Morales and her family have been living in Cherry Hill for about seven years, and she has children enrolled in the school system. Cookie Dough Bliss originated in Charlotte, NC. The Cherry Hill location will be the first New Jersey franchisee and fifth Scoop Shop to open. Cookie Dough Bliss was the first cookie dough company to offer a franchising opportunity in the United States.

“We look forward to being a bigger part of our community and a fun place that families and local teams can come enjoy a unique dessert concept,” Morales said.

Dough Life, a dessert shop that specializes in edible cookie dough, will open in Deptford soon, according to nj.com.

It serves up edible raw cookie dough like it's ice cream, in waffle cones or bowls, with toppings or straight up. It has flavor mixes such as Peanut Mother Butter (their signature dough mixed with Reece's Pieces and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups), the Tuxedo (their signature dough mixed with crushed Oreos) and King Caramel (their dough mixed with dark chocolate, topped with caramel and sea salt).

Another location in New Jerseyis set to open, on May 5 in Freehold.
