New La Gringuita Cookies at Whole Foods in South Florida: A Sweet Recipe for Success!
In May, La Gringuita cookies will be available in the frozen cookies section of Whole Foods stores in South Florida. This includes Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Collier, and Lee counties. Each cookie takes about 12 minutes to cook and has a delicious filling. Caroline McGinley, the founder and CEO of La Gringuita cookies, shared this exciting news with us. 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. Her business began in her studio apartment in Uruguay, making cookies for her roommates before expanding 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.
