Welcome to Kate's Cookie Jar

In 2005 my family and I gave up sugar, white flour, virtually all dairy, artificial ingredients and preservatives. As a single mother of three young children you can only imagine the commotion this caused in my home. Like most children, my kids loved cookies, ice cream and other sweets.

Lunchtime, birthdays and holidays were naturally the most difficult times, especially for my daughter Kate. One Christmas Kate asked if we could bake cookies for our friends like other families did. We searched the bookstore and the web for all natural-sugar free cookies and came up with very few appealing options. We decided to experiment on our own. Our first success was Kate’s Peppermint Pin Wheel cookie, other cookies followed. Our friends and family loved them as did Alice, my nutritionist. Before we knew it, and without any plan, Kate and I were taking orders and were officially in the cookie business!
