The REAL Cookies are a premium snack from Get Real Foods that are formulated to offer consumers a free-from option that is made using real ingredients instead of unwanted or filler recipes. The cookies come in three flavor options including Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut, Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and Lemon Blueberry Cookies. Each of cookies maintain a recipe that is Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, dairy free, vegan, Kosher and grain-free.
Co-Founder and CMO Lauren Berger explained the REAL Cookies further saying, "I crave cookies all the time, but as someone with my own food sensitivities, I always felt like there weren’t the right real options on the market that actually tasted good. Most companies use “stand-in” or “replacement” ingredients to fill the void of gluten. I knew we could create something with real ingredients that also tasted great.”
