New Vegan Cookie Company

In the past few months, a new crop of vegan cookies popped up at cafés across Miami, FL. Fueled by her love of sweets, local chef Anthea Ponsetti launched Om Nom Nom Cookies late last year in response to the lack of vegan options available in the city. The up-and-coming company, which consists of Ponsetti and a handful of dedicated friends, serves up a gourmet twist on cookie classics, with flavors like spicy Mexican snickerdoodle and orange-zested chocolate chip. Though Om Nom Nom currently limits its distribution to the Miami area, plans are in the works to launch a web store in early 2012.
