At COOKIE… take a bite!, we make our cookies with ingredients sourced from local farms, creameries, and other small businesses whenever possible. When you buy our cookies, you’re not only supporting our family-owned bakery but also contributing to the growth of numerous other Sonoma County businesses. Read on to learn about some of the incredible local businesses we proudly source our cookie ingredients from!
Organic Butter from Straus Family Creamery
Since 1941 Straus Family Creamery has been changing the world of dairy farming for the better. Local to the Sonoma County and Marin County area, Straus upholds a long legacy of organic farming that puts the environment and their dairy animals first.
Straus collaborates with local farmers on the Point Reyes National Seashore who are passionate about sustainable farming and carbon neutrality. These family-owned farms take the best possible care of not only their cows, but the environment too.
European Style Organic Butter
At COOKIE… take a bite!, we use European Style Organic Butter from Straus to make our cookies as mindfully delicious as possible. Including being organic and all-natural, what sets Straus butter apart is its 85% butterfat content, which is higher than almost all butter currently available on the market. Their butter is incredibly rich, thanks to the nutritious coastal grasses their cows graze on.
We use Straus butter in our cookies because we love supporting local farmers who value natural, high-quality ingredients like we do. And it tastes delicious, of course!
Our Signature Lemon Moon™ Cookies
Our signature Lemon Moon™ cookies are sweet, tangy, and unbelievably creamy, thanks to the richness of the butter from Straus Family Creamery.
Made with fresh lemons from our garden, this fan favorite won the Sonoma County Harvest Fair Gold Medal in 2012— a testament to its gourmet quality and delicious taste!
Eggs from Clover Sonoma
For over 100 years Clover Sonoma has been known and loved for their delicious dairy products— and it’s farmed right here in Sonoma County! This local brand is no stranger to quality and care, promising only the most ethical and humane practices to produce naturally delicious dairy products. In fact, Clover is American Humane Certified and B Corp Certified, which means they uphold only the highest standards of quality and care in the way they treat their animals and the way they run their business.
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Eggs help make the texture of a cookie soft, and our classic chocolate chip cookies are just that and more! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this time-honored classic is loaded with dark chocolate chips that melt in your mouth.
You can enjoy this one all on its own—or with a refreshing glass of Clover milk!
Citrus From Blasi Ranch
We chose local produce whenever possible because you can taste the quality, and we love supporting Sonoma County farmers! Blasi Ranch in Healdsburg is a true local gem.

Cultivating our own produce helps reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for transportation and packaging. Plus, it ensures our cookies are always fresh, nutritious, and bursting with flavor!
