This October, Otis Spunkmeyer’s Sweet Discovery Double Chocolate Cookie with Pink Gems returns to menus and bakeries across North America for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Otis Spunkmeyer will donate one dollar from every case sold from now through the end of October to a global-reaching charity focused on breast cancer research. In addition, the cookies provide an opportunity for foodservice and bakery operators throughout North America to donate to their own designated local or regional charities.

The Otis Spunkmeyer Sweet Discovery Double Chocolate Chip Cookie with Pink Gems – featuring dark, double chocolate gourmet cookie dough studded with candy-coated chocolates – can simply be baked and served by operators. Unique recipe applications including the Pink S'mores Cookie Sandwich, International Pink Day Cookie, Double Chocolate Raspberry Decadence and Pink Ribbon Cookie (pictured above) can be found online.

"Breast cancer affects us all, directly or indirectly," says Paul Stippich, senior marketing director for Aspire Bakeries, the parent company of Otis Spunkmeyer. "This initiative empowers operators and those fundraising for the cause to not only contribute to vital research but also support local organizations that resonate within their communities."

Also available to operators is Otis Spunkmeyer's new Birthday Cake Cookie - a blend of buttery vanilla flavor and colorful candy confetti on top.

“Our Birthday Cake Cookie is a party in every bite,” Stippich says. “We’ve taken a beloved flavor and packaged it in a way that speaks to consumers’ desire for both ‘new-stalgia’ and convenience. This cookie is sure to boost sales for our convenience, vending, and retail partners.”

Available through distributors, the individually-wrapped Otis Spunkmeyer Birthday Cake Cookie expands the brand’s portfolio, which also includes other cookies, a fudgy brownie (3 oz), muffins (2.5 oz, 4 oz, and 6.5 oz) and loaf cakes (4 oz).
