Anita Bakery

I was looking for a healthier option for cookies and I found it! I was first introduced to these cookies when visiting my cousin. Someone gave her these cookies for her birthday and she loves them, and now they got me hooked, too. I had the Chocolate Sable from my cousin and immediately had to order more for myself. As a chocolate lover, naturally I ordered the Chocolate Sable and chocolate Pecan Cookies. I went to pick up from Anita Bakery in Sierra Madre. CA., and had the chance to talk to the owner, Anita herself. I learned that all ingredients she uses are natural and contain no artificial flavors in all her cookies, they’re made to order and can be vegan and gluten-free. I’m telling you, they’re YUMMY and yet healthy! What I love about them is these aren’t just sugar cookies which I don’t have the sweet tooth for it. They’re sweetened lightly so you can really indulge in the chocolate. My new favorite is the Chocolate Pecan now but for sure will try other cookies on my next order.

I went back for more choices including their vegan ones. I found their vegan cookies were surprisingly as tasty as their regular. They definitely used great quality of ingredients. Without the butter, vegan cookies tend to be more crumbly. Still, this is by far the best tasting vegan cookies I have tried!! ____ I am not into super sweet stuff so I’m very picky about desserts. These cookies are addictive! Super low in sugar yet definitely packed with flavors from natural ingredients. Even have tasty vegan/gluten-free options! I highly recommend them. My favorites are the black sesame, hazelnut, & pistachio ones 😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Since this is an artisan bakery, best to order a few days ahead online. I didn’t know about that but did call to check what types of cookies were available and got an assortment of them for a last minute party. BTW, Anita also makes very delicious cakes on demand.
