These new Dawn Balance cookie mixes have been launched by Dawn Foods UK and Ireland as a series of reduced sugar solutions that respond to increasing calls for classic treats with a lower sugar profile.
The mixes maintain a sugar cookie profile that comes in plain and chocolate options, which each have 30% less sugar in comparison to comparable options in the brand's portfolio. The mixtures only require butter and water to be prepared, and can be used as part of a range of healthier bakery options.
Marketing Lead at Dawn Europe & AMEAP Jacqui Passmore commented on the new Dawn Balance cookie mixes saying, "Cookies remain one of the most versatile and profitable categories in the bakery industry, but bakery businesses today need solutions that address changing consumer preferences. With these new reduced sugar cookie mixes, we’re offering practical innovations that help our customers stay ahead, boost efficiency and unlock new opportunities for growth in the ‘better for you’ category.”
