Have you ever had Dancing Deer cookies? What? No?! What are you waiting for? Tangerine-chocolate cookies have a lovely soft spot in the center of a crunchy treat. Molasses-clove cookies are chewy every day and twice on Sundays. And the sugar cane-lime cookies. Can’t talk. Cookie-dreaming….
This is a company you can love with more than your taste buds, though. Here are 6 reasons why a package of Dancing Deer cookies, (or brownies, or cake) would be a fabulous way to sweeten your Earth Day gathering, or any occasion large or small:
- Women-Ownership: the CEO advocates for the advancement of women in business.
- Employee Empowerment: every employee gets stock options, and the company is run with an “open book” management style.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: 100% recycled paper and vegetable inks are used. Check out their Honest Packaging page for more.
- All-Natural Ingredients: read the back of a pack of cookies and you’ll see words like “flour, vanilla, eggs, cocoa.” Nothing more.
- Philanthropy: through their Sweet Home program, your purchase can help fight family homelessness. Families with children are among the fastest-growing homeless population.
- Local: …if you live in or near Boston. Which I do. Yay!
