Caveman Cookies

Cookie monsters will love these chewy paleo cookies, which swap organic honey for refined sugar. They’re manufactured just southwest of the city in LaSalle, Illinois, but inspired by destinations across the globe. Flavors like New World (pumpkin and maple) and Mayan (chocolate, chili and cocoa) incorporate ingredients from different parts of the world cavemen may have traveled to. Tropical macadamia and coconut and Alpine hazelnut and carob are top sellers.

Find them: Plum Market, Foodstuffs, Kramers Health Foods, Natural Choices.
