I can’t seem to find her online. The website link doesn’t lead to anything. Are the cookies kosher? Do you have a recipe you can share since I’m not local to AZ.
Hi Dara, Yes, Tanya has informed us that her website is almost ready and should be up soon. We have reached out to her to answer your question about the cookies being kosher.

Hi Dara,
My website should be live in the next 2 weeks. HungerBombCookies.com. In the meantime, email works Info@HungerBombCookies.com. While my cookies are not certified kosher, I do make vegan options which also happen to be non-gluten. I also ship for your convenience. Hope that helps. Tanya
