To be sure! Little Rae's.. but big me!

On her blog, Gab, a good friend of mine pointed out the nut-free valentines cookies were available at Whole Foods. What she didn't say, was how addictive they are!

Little Rae's bakery, in Seattle have wonderful peanut and nut-free cookies.. They currently have really cute Shamrock sugar cookies! Look!
OMG, they taste *sooo good*.

Little Rae's is nut free, because their president has a nut allergy. How do I know this? Well, I wrote a glowing thank-you email to the bakery, and got this lovey response back:

"Thanks for writing. I’m glad you liked our nut free cookies. I love hearing about the kids who get to have a “store bought” cookie where there were none before. When I was growing up the allergy was barely taken seriously so I get a lot of satisfaction out of running a nut free bakery for all those people like myself."

The note goes on to say that in California, we ought to be able to get more of Little Rae's wonderful nut-free products:

"Currently you should be able to get our scones look for the peach Passionfruit our best seller and reason for our existence, “everyday cookies” (choc chip, oatmeal raisin, Snickerdoodle and our fabulous Ginger Twinkle) as well as our decorated shortbread cookies."

I keep thinking I ought to write back and ask which other suppliers have their scones.. but although Rae's might be Little, consuming lots of their mouth-watering product would not leave me in the same situation!

Yum-oh!
