Tate's Bake Shop cookies are famous for being thin and crispy. Not like the typical softer cookie I make, but equally delicious and slightly addictive!
Have you ever heard of Tate's Bake Shop? If you haven't, let me tell you ALL about this fabulous company! Tate's Bake Shop is Southampton's favorite bakery! Founder, owner and baker Kathleen King makes all of Tate's baked goods from the finest ingredients, just the way she made them when she was 11-years old and first started selling cookies at her family's farm stand.
Kathleen's business has expanded a lot since then to include cakes, pies, crumbles and lots of cookies! She is well-known for her signature cookie; thin, buttery and crispy, they are among her best-sellers along with her sour cream coffee cake and pecan pie that she ships all over the country.
Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine, in a 50-brand taste-test, voted Tate's #1-the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in America. Tate's has also been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, as well as in the Washington Post, New York Post, and InStyle.
In her new book, Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook, with a forward by Ina Garten, Kathleen shares her best-selling recipes and more. Her cookbook is "full of classic, crowd-pleasing American desserts, all made with good fresh ingredients." According to Kathleen, "All the recipes in this book should take less time to make than it would to go to a store to buy a commercially prepared baked good, so they're perfect for the busy holiday season when baked goodies are in high demand.

I've never tried a Tate!
I love mint cookies, whether they're chocolate mint or straight peppermint, anything minty says the holidays to me.
I love Tate's cookies. My favorite cookies all year round are chocolate chip cookies, but I guess for the holidays I like cookies with a little spice, like iced ginger cookies. Thanks for the giveaway, I'll tweet about it too.
Love pecan pie! With ice-cream. Yum
I have to say that it would be my grandmother's raisin bars. These are wonderful and the only time we make this is at Christmas.

Chocolate chip cookies. Okay, I'm drooling. One of my favorite holiday treats every year is a huge tie between pumpkin pie and sugar cookies. I go nuts for both.

Beautiful cookies! I've never had or heard or Tate's cookies, but their promotions are really working!
My favorite cookie is a Molasses Spice!
I LOVE the look of these cookies. They are thin, which for some reason I am totally enamored by. It's kind of like eating the crispy wonderful parts of a chocolate chip pancake, yes?
My favorite holiday sweet treat is shortbread. I am a real lover of the shortbread!!
I am a FOLLOWER and just love your blog!
The chocolate chip cookies made by Tate's Bake Shop sound just the way I like them, crisp! They look so delicious. I'm sure Santa will be grateful for a plate of these! Maybe if Santa still has room he'll be willing to head our way and share some almond cookies with our family.
My favorite holiday treat is ginger snaps!!
Don't include me in your giveaway, I just want to comment and say hi! Haha, I laughed at your husband's reaction to the cookies, how funny! I tried a cookie scoop first too and oh my word they were massive. Your cookies look delicious! Now I'm so curious about your mom's cookies, I want some!!! 🙂
