For customers who don’t consume alcohol, checking the ingredients in flavourings can be an important part of choosing what to eat. That’s why we use alcohol-free essences across our full cookie range.

Alcohol-free alternatives are harder to find and cost more than standard essences. Even so, we felt it was the right choice because it means we can give customers a clear answer when they ask what goes into our cookies.

Why the type of essence is important

Essences add flavour and may only make up a small part of a recipe. For anyone who avoids alcohol, the type used still matters.

We’re often asked about this in the shop, so we took the time to source alcohol-free options for the whole range. Wherever a recipe calls for an essence, we use an alcohol-free one.

Our cookies are also made without gelatin, giving customers who avoid it another clear answer about the ingredients we use.

Becoming independent has given us more control over our ingredients and suppliers. This is one of the ways we’re using that freedom to respond to what our customers ask for.

Clear information when you order

Our alcohol-free statement relates specifically to the essences used in our cookies. Customers with allergies or other dietary requirements should still speak to the team so we can provide the relevant ingredient information before they order.

You can ask us in-store at The Rock, Bury, or contact us before placing an order online. Personalised giant cookies and selected cookie boxes are available for collection in as little as two hours.

Sourcing alcohol-free essences takes more time and costs more, but it means customers who avoid alcohol don’t have to second-guess the flavourings used in their cookies. Swing by our store today in Bury, or order cookies online.
