While some cookie manufacturers are making products with better-for-you ingredients or that are properly proportioned, others have decided it's better to go big or go home.  Calabasas Cake & Cookie Co., Calabasas, CA is home to The Stuft Cookie®, a premium, quarter-pound indulgent cookie with a surprise inside.

"I came up with this great idea after 30 years of working in corporate America," says Marlene Luterman, founder and "top cookie" of the company. "I decided to take the leap and put my creations to work.  I recognized that there was a need for some innovation in the upscale cookie market, and I wanted to fill this gap with a high-end, indulgent product."

The Stuft cookie® comes in Chocolate Chip Cookie STUFT with Fudge Brownie, Confetti Cookie STUFT with Birthday Cake, Fudge Brownie Cookie STUFT with Peanut Butter & Pretzel, and Sugar Cookie STUFT with Lemon Bar.

Calabasas Cake & Cookie Co. focuses on a business-to-business clientele that uses its product as part of their marketing programs.  "Our customers love to keep our cookies on hand and also have us personalize them for their special events," states Luterman.
