By naming an official cookie made largely of Michigan products, the bill supports the state’s agricultural industry. While there would be no official state recipe for the cookie, the recipe provided by Defer Elementary School utilizes products from several Michigan-based businesses, including Diamond Crystal Brand Kosher salt from St. Clair County, Graceland Fruit in Benzie County, and Pioneer Brand Sugar, a product of the Michigan Sugar Company
