Our cinnamon is processed in a facility that is free of all the Big 8 allergens.

Less than 2% Organic Evaporated Cane Syrup
We pride ourselves on the fact that our Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin cookies are low-glycemic and made with Organic Coconut Sugar. However, we do use just the tiniest bit (less than 2% - it's true, check our ingredient label), as a way to create part of our recipe. It's a secret, but luckily, our organic evaporated cane juice still qualifies as an unrefined sweetener. Made from the stalks of the sugar cane plant, it is healthier than the refined cane sugar present in so many baked goods in part because it's organic, it is produced without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is also closer to the unprocessed original plant, so it contains more nutrients than highly processed alternatives.
Olive Oil
The health benefits of olive oil are unrivaled and every day there is new information about the incredible power of olive oil to fight disease, supplement nutrition and keep our hearts healthy. We are ecstatic to be able to include such a "wonder" ingredient in our wonderful cookies!
