Alternative Baking Company

Amazing vegan peanut butter persuasion cookie! I’m not vegan but it still tastes amazing. And is a healthier option with quality ingredients. I tried them from Wholefoods in Folsom. I’m ready to order a batch online to keep a stash at home and work.

Alternative Baking Company are refreshing, organic, sugar-​free alternative to the usual sugar&fat laden pastries one can find in the snack aisle. This is a case of Hostess and Little Debbie if they had a vegan, gluten-​free treat for you. They make wonderfully supersized cookies. Unfortunately, it’s become a bit of a challenge to find them.
Their cookies often carry positive messages. They make great flavors like double chocolate decadence, peanut butter chocolate chip, peanut butter persuasion… and my unlikely favorite, oatmeal raisin. Oatmeal raisin cookies tend to be the «good for you» rather than the indulgent type, but Alternative Baking Company makes them voluptuous. Their seasonal pumpkin spice&their Peanut Butter Persuasion show that cookies don’t need chocolate to be perfect. They’re rich&flavorful, sweetened with fruit juice.
They’re pricey, sweet, delicious and worth it!

Love their chocolate decadence cookies, wow they are awesome!

These cookies, especially the pumpkin spice, are phenomenal. The people behind Alternative Baking Company are also really amazing.
There’s one cookie company in America that’s won my loyalty, and that’s this one.

Their chocolate chip cookies, about 10 – 15 years ago, were splendid. I ate them a lot in college. They were a bit pricey but worth it — a piece of fruit and an Alternative Baking cookie were enough for lunch if I was in a hurry. The cookies were big and chewy and low fat and very filling and although they came out of a package, they still tasted fresh. Their current ones are smaller and less chewy but still good. I’m not a fan of most of their other varieties, probably because in general I like fudgy/​chocolate chip cookies. The lemon poppyseed and some of the others are not real appealing to me. If only there only could be more «healthier» cookies out there… it’d be cool if Alternative Baking Co could do an alternative version of Oreos! Anyhow, I’ve always appreciated this company, they’re doing it right! I don’t see their cookies around much anymore but whenever I’m in a store, I always get one if they have chocolate chip available.

First off Alternative Baking does not have a store, they are manufacturing and sell to stores and venues across the USA, Alaska and Hawaii!!! If you go on their websites you will see the info on the palm oil — it is sustainable, comes from So. America, is not hurting the rainforest or the Orangutangs they so dearly love. Their customers service is the best I have every seen. They have 2 websites, «alter​na​tive​bak​ing​.com» and «nog​lu​ten​treats​.com»!!! The Double Choco is the bomb and so is the Kandy Kane Crunch!!!

peanut butter, chocolate,
of course lemon poppy
I tell all my friends… about the cookies
glad they are easier to find now, than 8 years ago
vegan fan for life

DELICIOUS vegan pumpkin cookie!
They are moist, flavorful and overall quite delicious. The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars is that I was disappointed they have so much fat. Plenty of pumpkin flavor. I bought them while they were on sale at the Half Moon Bay pumpkin fest and we were so glad we did, we told our friends who went back over and bought their own.

Ok, so this review isn’t for the store itself, but for its product and excellent customer service.
I’m pretty much am in love with their Double Chocolate Decadence cookie. It’s moist, chocolate-​y and rich! I’d argue that they make some of the best cookies I’ve ever tried. I still can’t figure out what they do to make it taste so good without using any dairy or eggs…
But anyway, on to the main story:
I bought a couple Alternative Baking Company cookies from a local health food store in my area. Got home – super excited to eat them – opened up the packaging took a bite and… yuck…stale…
Took another bite… still stale and dry. I put the cookie into the light and the chocolate chips were fading in color. Gross… and the cookie was super expired! Double gross.
I looked at the label in the back and sent Alternative Baking Company an email about it. They immediately responded, contacted the local grocery store and sent me free cookies to thank me for contacting them. Still fresh and delicious like I remembered them to be! :)
I had an amazing experience with Alternative Baking Company and I think they’re going to keep going strong.

Just had their Chocolate Decadence and Chocolate Chip Cookie! Holy Moly! These are good. I am shocked they are vegan! These are truly delicious. I didn’t realize they were not vegan until I read the package after demolishing both of them. I will be ordering some off the website :)

I love the Lemon poppyseed cookies they are fantastic I am going to order some online from their website
. The only thing about ordering there is a minimum amount of $ 37 – 39 to order if you undr under this amount you will still be charged the remaining amount to equal to $ 37. More stores need to purchase these cookies to sell to customers!

I agree with some of the other reviews on here about how good the abc cookies are. I have tried at least two of the cookies they offer. The lemon one and the vanilla one. I will say I have to disagree with the other review on here about the vanilla cookie. I happen to like it and hope that they do not discontinue making it.

This review is based on their packaged cookies that I often get at coffee shops and or order online. These cookies are absolutely my favorite! I love the lemon poppyseed and used to love the cranberry orange cookies until they discontinued. I’ve tried all the flavors and they all taste great, but I wish they’d bring back the cranberry orange and discontinue the simply vanilla since it’s not as good. Anyways, excellent ginormous delicious cookies and I’m not even vegan!

I would have given these cookies 5 stars if it weren’t for the insane amount of calories in them. 500+ cal per cookie?!! Don’t get me wrong these cookies are truly amazing! Great taste, texture and no disturbing after-​taste. As a vegan, like mentioned before, it is a bit hard to find a good vegan cookie and these guys hit the spot. I am more than willing to pack in them calories and then work my butt off in spinning class. LOL
Tip: Eat for breakfast — burn the calories during the day.
For those of you who dont care about the calories, these cookies are definitely at the top of the list on sweet vegan sweets!

The best cookies, done right.

These are amazing cookies. These folks definitely know what they are doing with their ingredients and flavors. If you want a quick, delicious, vegan snack that will fill you up, look no further. You can usually find them around town for about $ 2.50. Well worth it.

I’m currently at a coffee shop eating the Peanut Butter Persuasion Cookie (I should be doing homework) and my golly these are so wonderful I had to take a break and write a review.
In big bold letters on the back of the packaging it reads: «this cookie contains no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no hydrogenated oils, no cholesterol, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients or refined sugars» and I like that very very much!
I’m very glad to see these at local coffee shops and grocery stores.

Two words: Lemon Poppyseed
Two more words: Hot Damn!

Ooooh cookie.
COOKIE.
cookie cookie coo-​cookie.
These are seriously my favorite package cookie right now. You find them at natural food markets, coffee shops, all over the place really.
They’re vegan cookies but you don’t have to tell anyone that.
If you can wait a couple days for your cookie to come, it’s cheaper online from the cookie factory and cookie shipping is free.
Cookie.

MAC THE CHIP IS THE BEST COOKIE IN THE UNIVERSE.
The pumpkin one is awesome and the lemon poppyseed is good too. Seriously, ABC deserves 10 stars.
Well minus two for being the reason I receive the occasional «are you sure you are a vegan? You’re not skinny at all!»
I get mine at the Farmer Joes at 35^th and Mac. in Oakland.
