New York Cookie Brand Now the ‘Gold Standard’ of Store-Bought Cookies

Everyone knows someone who has to have something sweet after dinner, this person is me. Admit it, dessert is the best meal of the day.

It's possible that this was something that was passed down through many generations and something that brought families together. After dinner dessert can be a time where friends, family and those getting to know one another can chat while enjoying something that satisfies their sweet tooth.

More than ever, we're looking towards healthier alternatives. When snacking or finding dessert, we may choose an option that has less ingredients or something that's locally made.

Stewart's Shops have great ways to shop local and purchase food without a lot of ingredients.

One of my favorite cookies is made in New York with minimal ingredients and it can be found in a lot of grocery stores.

New York Cookie Brand Now The 'Gold Standard of Store-Bought Cookies

Have you heard of the brand Tate's before? They have sparked a lot of interest from those who want to have a dessert but choose a store bought, gluten free goodie.

I first noticed this brand of cookies in major grocery stores and liked that they were made fresh in New York state.

Tate's Bake Shop Was Born In New York

According to Tate's Bake Shop, 

"The Bake Shop Way is our commitment to uncompromising quality and bake-craft. It is nourishing the soul and delighting the world with exceptional taste experiences. It is what guides everything we do."

Kathleen King founded Tate's Bake Shop where she started baking her cookies off of a table at a farm in Long Island, NY.

"In 1980, when she was only 21, Kathleen rented a space her mother spotted and opened her first bake shop. She developed a full line of traditional American baked goods, perfecting every recipe herself and baking each dessert from scratch. Named after her father, Tate's Bake Shop is the result of Kathleen's love of baking and keen eye for quality.'
