ABOUT FOR US COOKIES

When the coronavirus pandemic forced Shin to close her catering business, she had time to reimagine her path for the future. If Covid taught her anything, it is the importance of all of us working together to accomplish a common goal.

With that, Shin launched FOR US COOKIES in 2021 to help us all to take a step forward in caring for the environment, the animals, and our own health. Her amazingly delicious, vegan and gluten-free cookies are made with sustainably sourced, better ingredients and sent in compostable/recyclable packaging.

FOR US COOKIES are truly better cookies for a better planet.
