Sweet Lucy’s Pies & Fort Worth Cookie Gal: The Fort Worth Bakery Stop Worth Pulling Over For
Full disclosure: Sweet Lucy’s Pies is owned by my sister, Lindsey Lawing. Fort Worth Cookie Gal is run by my other sister, Jodi Maria. I know what bias looks like, and I’m keeping it here anyway, because this place is genuinely worth the stop regardless of who’s related to whom.
One Fort Worth Pie Shop, Two Family Businesses
At 3520 Blue Bonnet Circle on Fort Worth’s historic Bluebonnet Circle, two family businesses share a single commercial kitchen and storefront: Sweet Lucy’s Pies and Fort Worth Cookie Gal.
Walk in for a slice of pie. Walk out with a whole pie and a bag of cookies, because you saw the display case and lost all sense of restraint.
D Magazine called it a shop Fort Worth “can’t stop talking about.” 360 West Magazine, Fort Worth Report, and a steady stream of regulars showing up every single Saturday would agree.
The hours are short: Fridays and Saturdays only, with limited windows each day. Plan ahead. These are not pies you want to drive past.
The Story Behind Sweet Lucy’s Pies
Lindsey Lawing started Sweet Lucy’s Pies in 2013, baking out of her home under Texas’ Cottage Food Law and selling at farmer’s markets and pop-ups around Fort Worth. For a decade she built a following with her signature flaky crust, local Texas ingredients, and a willingness to put whiskey in things that had no business being improved. Then they got improved anyway.
In March 2023, she opened her first brick-and-mortar on Bluebonnet Circle. The shop is named after my niece, Lucy.
Before the doors even opened, she made room for her sister. Jodi Maria, who runs Fort Worth Cookie Gal, uses the same commercial kitchen and shares the retail floor. The lemon bar recipe behind Jodi’s Pink Lemonade Cookie traces back to our grandmother, passed down through our mother, Gerri Lawing.
Gerri was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in 2022. She passed away in December 2024, after two and a half years of fighting. Jodi is working toward launching a nonprofit called “The Big C Word,” focused on supporting women with late-stage cancer.
Every visit to this shop carries that weight, and that warmth. These are family who show up for each other, and they put that into the food.
The Wildflower Salted Honey Pie at Sweet Lucy’s Pies
The Wildflower Salted Honey Pie is where locally sourced Texas wildflower honey meets a butter crust and just enough salt to make the sweetness land. It’s the kind of thing that stops a conversation mid-sentence.
Sweet and salty in balance, with a custard-style filling that holds together without being heavy. Once you’ve had it, the grocery store version of “pie” doesn’t really hold up.
Lindsey sources ingredients seasonally from Texas producers, so the menu rotates. Sweet Lucy’s Pies is that kind of Fort Worth bakery, not the kind that runs the same twelve flavors forever. But the salted honey has been a staple year after year.
Other pies worth knowing about: the Whiskey Pecan is a top seller year-round, and the Grapefruit Meringue, with fresh Texas citrus and a fluffy marshmallow crown, shows up in late winter. Pre-order online if you want something specific. Walk-ins get what’s on the shelf, and the shelf moves fast.
If you’re passing through DFW and only have one food stop in you, make it this one. You can eat the pie in the car. We won’t judge.
Fort Worth Cookie Gal’s Thick Gal Cookies
Jodi’s Thick Gal cookies are exactly what the name tells you they are. These aren’t thin, fragile, snap-in-half cookies. They’re substantial and soft-centered, the kind that holds together when you pick it up and rewards you for slowing down.
The one to try first: the Whiskey Caramel Thick Gal. Fair warning, this is a 21-and-older cookie. The whiskey isn’t just a name on the label. You get actual smokiness from it, balanced against the creaminess of the caramel and a soft, creamy center that makes you pay attention to what you’re eating. Smoky, sweet, rich, and somehow not too much of any one thing.
The Pink Lemonade Cookie is another standout, built on the heirloom lemon bar recipe from their grandmother through Gerri. It tastes like a memory and a tribute at the same time.
Jodi’s menu rotates, so check fortworthcookiegal.com before you go to see what’s available and to order ahead.
