The cookie uses two chocolates from Guittard’s offerings – a 31% cacao Milk Chocolate Baking Chip and a 35% cacao Soie Blanche White Chocolate Baking Wafer – both of which are certified Fair Trade by Fair Trade USA.
10% of profits from all of the California Cookie sold will be donated to Bloody Good Period, who fight for menstrual equity, giving period products to those who can’t afford them, providing menstrual education to those less likely to access it.
