Café Gratitude Is Shipping New Plant-Based Cookie Kits

You say that you haven't seen the rolling pin all year and you're not sure if you ever got the cookie sheet back, the one you loaned to a friend last Christmas?

Don't fret that your frosting-slathered baking dreams are all for naught in 2020.

Cookie kits are reigning during this stay-close-to-home season, and some ready-to-decorate boxes, boxes that are made locally, are brimming with organic, gluten-free bites.

Look to Café Gratitude, the plant-based powerhouse that incorporates a moving message of the season in its very name.

Even if you've never been to one of the local organically centered eateries, which are well-known for creatively named dishes ("I Am Calm," "I Am Vibrant") and earthy ingredients, you know that any nummies they make will follow the company's plant-focused principles.

And the nine cookies and "three home-made natural frostings" found inside the new $25 Christmas Cookie Kits do.

"The cookies are plant-based and gluten-free, made with the highest quality ingredients and 100% organic products, free of artificial colorings and shortening," shared the company.

"Honoring the company's philosophy and values and their commitment to planet earth, the packaging is biodegradable and eco-friendly to encourage and reduce our footprint on earth."

You can pre-order now for a December arrival. In fact, the kits begin to head to homes starting on Dec. 1, meaning you could be decorating and noshing soon after the month begins.

And, for sure: If you'd like to treat family across the country to this oh-so-SoCal confection, one that arrives with a creative spin, here's sweet news: It can be shipped anywhere in the nation.

Cookie kits are giving us some kitchen-y comfort as 2020 winds down.

Even if we don't feel like entering full baking mode, we can still engage in the festive pursuits of the season, like decorating a gingerbread tree we'll soon devour without a bit of guilt.
