Flour You Feeling?

Bite Me Cookies

Everyone has a long-cherished desire. For some, it’s world peace. For others, true love.

For you? Simple: Being able to eat cookies. Just cookies. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

When it comes to doughy pleasures, you’re a goner. So chances are Seattle-born Bite Me cookies will make you weak in the knees.

The Scottish shortbread-like treats are frosted with bright, Crayola colors and come in adorable, child-like shapes. And they’re so perfectly satisfying and sweet that you’d never suspect they’re made from all-natural ingredients, including organic whole wheat and white flours.

So, no, chowing a giant strawberry-shaped cookie for lunch won’t do much for your waistline. And presenting a cheery box of frosted flowers to your crotchety cubicle-mate may not improve your love life much.

But it could bring you closer to world peace.
