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.

"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.'
