La Gringuita Cookies are Now Available in Whole Foods’ Frozen Cookies Section
Starting in May, La Gringuita cookies will be available in the frozen cookies section of Whole Foods. Each cookie takes about 12 minutes to cook and has a delicious filling. This update comes from Caroline McGinley, the founder and CEO of La Gringuita cookies. We last featured her 18 months ago during our “Shining A Light” segment on “Dessert Wars.”
Caroline’s quarter-pound stuffed cookies caught Whole Foods’ attention, as they are a unique offering not commonly found in supermarkets. Starting with making cookies for her roommates in Uruguay, Caroline’s business began in her studio apartment and eventually expanded through social media. American cookies were found to be a rare treat in South America, garnering high interest.
During the pandemic, Caroline relocated to South Florida and began selling her cookies online and at local green markets. Each package contains frozen dough balls that can make four quarter-pound stuffed cookies. La Gringuita offers seasonal flavors alongside four mainstays: Brown Buttah, Chocolate Souffle, El Churro, and The Jammy. Caroline’s journey is certainly a sweet recipe for success.
In addition to La Gringuita cookies being available in Whole Foods stores starting May, there is an open call for suggestions for our next “Shining A Light” segment or something you’re proud of in your community.
