Our Values: Mission, Quality, and Compassion
Our Mission:
At Alternative Baking Co., our mission is to create gourmet vegan cookies that rival traditional baked goods in flavor, without compromising quality or ethics. We are committed to delivering mostly organic, animal-friendly treats that are both kind to the planet and delightfully delicious.
Commitment to Quality:
We use only the finest ingredients, with approximately 80-90% being organic, to ensure that every bite of our cookies bursts with natural flavor. We never use artificial flavors or preservatives—just real, wholesome ingredients that you can trust for quality and taste.
Why Vegan:
Compassion for all living beings is at the core of everything we do. Every cookie we bake is completely free from animal products, promoting a kinder, more ethical way to enjoy sweet treats. Veganism is at the heart of our mission—creating cookies that everyone can savor, regardless of dietary preferences.
Crafted to Perfection:
Our cookies are crafted to look and taste like the very best traditional cookies, but without dairy, eggs, trans fats, hydrogenated oils, cholesterol, animal ingredients, artificial additives, or refined sugar. We use organic flour, organic sugar, and other premium natural ingredients, and every batch is handmade with care. The result? A soft, chewy cookie that’s not only indulgently delicious but also better for you.
Our cookies are available in thousands of health food stores across the country, as well as in mainstream grocery stores, convenience stores, and coffee shops. We take immense pride in our loyal customers, who are the true testament to our success and mission. Your support keeps us motivated, and we remain committed to bringing you more amazing treats that align with your values.
