Chocolate Cherry Cookies With ProBiotic

Berkeley, CA -- Chocolate cherry cookies enriched with GanedenBC30, a pro-biotic that supports immune and digestive health, are available from functional-cookie company, The Cookie Department.

The all-natural, gluten-free cookies have a soft brownie-like consistency and were developed with gluten-free consumers in mind, the company says. Carrying a SRP of $2.99, the three-ounce cookies come in individual packs. The cookies will be available at select health-food stores in April.

Pam Marcus, Co-Founder and CEO of The Cookie Department says: “Customers had been asking us for a great-tasting, good-for-you gluten-free cookie and we have delivered with the Cherry Bomb. Knowing that people who require a gluten-free diet often suffer from digestive problems, we knew we had to include a pro-biotic.”

This is The Cookie Department's sixth functional cookie, as the company currently makes Tough Cookies with added protein for athletes, Snap Back cookies for curing hangovers and Awaken Baked naturally caffeinated espresso cookies.
