Plant-Based Chocolate Chip Cookies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Burton's Biscuit Introduces Vegan Version of Maryland Cookies

— August 25, 2021 — Lifestyle
British biscuit manufacturer Burton Biscuits Co. has launched a vegan-friendly version of its popular Maryland Cookies, making their iconic chocolate chip products suitable for those on a plant-based diet. In order to make their staple cookie vegan, the company simply removed whey powder from the recipe.

While it is common for brands to mark up the price of vegan versions of signature products, Burton's Biscuit has kept these dairy-free biscuits at the same affordable price point as its other cookies. “Consumers are looking for easy-to-find vegan products that are more exciting than a plain biscuit and are not commanding the premium price often associated with vegan-friendly products,” explained Alice Boardman, Senior Brand Manager from Burton’s Biscuit Co.

In addition, the company ensures consumers that the vegan version of Maryland Cookies retains all of the "nostalgic flavors" associated with the brand's classic offerings.
