"Smorgasburg has led to many meaningful collaborations. Lei’d Cookies was also born during the pandemic, with Terris selling hundreds of cookies to members at the fitness studio where she coached. At first, the goal for Terris and Lewis was simply to create the best chocolate chip cookie imaginable. Pandemic hoarding made buying flour and sugar at grocery stores difficult, so they went to local suppliers and found California-milled flour and farmers market butter. Then they browned the butter as part of an elaborate, difference-making process that also involves bean-to-bar ChocoVivo chocolate."
