Made with "natural ingredients and free from the top 14 allergens, including gluten, dairy, and nuts, these cookies cater to a wide range of dietary needs—their pink hue also comes from real beets, emphasizing a focus on natural coloring instead of artificial dyes." In addition to offering a unique treat, this collaboration aligns with the 'Barbie Dream Gap Project,' which provides girls with resources and role models to overcome societal barriers. A portion of proceeds supports '[Girls with Impact](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-castle-mechanized-mix),' an organization fostering entrepreneurial development in young women. Each package includes "12 pre-cut cookies, ready to bake in under 15 minutes; providing a convenient, allergen-friendly option for gifting, celebrations like Valentine's Day, or everyday enjoyment."
