Eleven-year-old Kathleen King was positively obsessed with baking the perfect chocolate chip cookie. She experimented over and over and over with different recipes–less flour, more butter, longer baking time–until she got it just right.
Customers flocked to her family’s farm stand on Long Island for Kathleen’s enormous, buttery chocolate chip cookies. And when she grew up, Kathleen started a cookie company called TATE’S BAKE SHOP®. TATE’S grew into a multi-million-dollar empire and, today, they are a household name and their cookies are sold all over the country!
Kathleen King is the founder of TATE’S BAKE SHOP®, a multimillion-dollar cookie company, named after her beloved father. Tate’s best-selling cookie is, of course, its Chocolate Chip Cookie. Many famous people have called Tate’s the best chocolate chip cookie in the world! Kathleen is also the author of Baking for Friends and The TATE’S BAKE SHOP® Cookbook. This is her first book for children.

My favorites are jam thumbprint cookies.
I bake bookies about 3-4 times a year.
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. I probably bake cookies every 1-2 months.
I like chocolate chip cookies, and we bake more in the winter. It is usually too hot during the summer to turn on the oven.
I pinned this today – Cookie Queen – How One Girl Started Tate’s Bake Shop Picture Book – The Classy Chics
Home Made Chocolate Chip Cookies with my grandmas recipe. About every other month is when I try to make them.
Love chocolate chip but don’t really bake very often unfortunately.
Cool. I found a new blog and two classy chics. Congrats on the book! I had no idea the story behind Tates! I had to eat four today for research purposes and will request the book at our local library if they haven’t ordered yet. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip (usually Gluten Free but we cheat a little) are my favorites. The Township Fire Dept. has asked me to refrain from baking as they have visited on more than one occasion when I tried to make cookies. My motto according to friends, is “No Cookie Left Behind.” Please enter me in the give away. Thanks.

I love chocolate chip cookies! I bake probably once a month.
I bake chocolate chunk cookies the most. I chop up dark ghiradelli chocolate for them.
Sometimes I bake the recipe into bar cookies and cover them in ganache. I bake them about twice a month.
