INAUGURATION POET AMANDA GORMAN IS NOW A VEGAN COOKIE FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Black-owned vegan brand Maya’s Cookies just launched a Black History Month cookie collection inspired by Black icons.

Maya’s Cookies are available for shipping nationwide and this collection can be ordered as an assortment or as individual cookie flavors (sold in tins or gift boxes). 

Maya’s makes a comeback
Maya’s Cookies was hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which forced the company to let go of about half of its employees. Since then, it has witnessed a 10,000-percent spike in sales following the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. The company has ramped up production to accommodate the new level of volume, including doubling the size of its kitchen, securing a warehouse and shipping facility, and increasing its staff. 

In November, Maya’s Cookies opened its first store front at the front of the company’s production kitchen space. The opening day menu consisted of vegan cookies in flavors such as Chocolate Chip S’mores, Marble Fudge, Birthday Cake, Caramel Pecan, Snickerdoodle, as well as the recently launched “The Obama” (named after former First Lady Michelle Obama); pre-made cookie dough in Gingerbread and Chocolate Chip flavors; and Kula ice cream pints made by a local female artisan.
