Joe Giudice is following in the footsteps of his former sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, with a cookie line of his own.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, the 53-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey alum and ex-husband of Teresa Giudice, 53, confirmed he’s set to launch a company called Nonna’s Organic Almond Cookies and shared an image of a batch of the treats.
“Introducing Nonna’s Organic Almond Cookies … Simple ingredients. Authentic flavor. Coming soon. Stay tuned,” he teased on January 7.
In comments, social media users offered their support, saying the cookies “[looked] delicious” and “fantastic.”
“The presentation is perfectly executed,” one person wrote.
“Now these I’ll buy!” another shared.
“I absolutely love almond cookies!!! I will buy them. I am a cook not a baker,” someone else stated.
“Those cookies are the best in the world. Delicious!” a different fan proclaimed.
As RHONJ fans may recall, Melissa, 46, announced the launch of her dessert company, Sprinkle by MG, in December 2024, giving a nod to her past cookie dispute with Teresa, who infamously threw her sprinkle cookies in the trash during season three because she preferred pignolis.
“My passion for sprinkle cookies is finally available for you! With [Sprinkle by MG] The ultimate sprinkle butter cookie that’s as chic as it is delicious! Trust me… you will NOT want to throw these in the garbage,” she captioned a post on Instagram at the time.
Right away, Teresa clapped back on X, telling her co-star, “You’re welcome,” and their back and forth continued amid an episode of Watch What Happens Live that featured Melissa.
“Well, she’s welcome for giving her someone to hate on for the last decade. So she’s welcome,” Melissa said when asked about the shade. “We really have [done so much for each other].”
Although Melissa’s brand, which has since expanded to cakes, is just over a year old, it was revealed during an April 2025 interview with Decider that she’d raked in a whopping $500,000 in revenue in just three months.
No word yet on a release date for Nonna’s Organic Almond Cookies.
