Tastes homemade. We started with mom’s beloved recipe and, with every change we make, are always calibrating to Maxine’s original, delicious, and decadent experience.

Sweetened by nature. We sweeten with unrefined coconut sugar and dates, for a naturally sweet cookie with half the sugar as most competitors. In addition, these sugars are low glycemic, so they won’t cause a sugar crash.
