Woo hoo! Another giveaway ~ Tate’s Bake Shop

“Hello” all you fantastic cookie lovers!
I bet I will have you drooling shortly!
I was drooling before I could even get all the beautiful packages opened when the box from Tate’s Bake Shop arrived. Inside were the thinnest, crispiest cookies I have ever eaten and a copy of Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook by Kathleen King. They are buttery delicious and have the honor of being featured in the magazine ~ Everyday with Rachael Ray, The Boston Globe, The New York Times and The Gourmet Retailer.
Right now though, I want to tell you a little about Kathleen King, the owner and baker at Tate’s Bake Shop in Southampton, New York. She was born there and first began selling her chocolate chip cookies at her father’s North Sea Farms roadside stand. Kathleen has been famous for her chocolate chip cookies since she started baking them as an 11-year-old girl. They were such a hit that selling them put her through college. Her cookies are sweetly magnificent ~ perfect!

And here’s a really sweet surprise from Kathleen ~ one of you lucky people will be winning the same package I received. It’s filled with 3 boxes of cookies: oatmeal raisin (the best I have ever eaten!), white chocolate macadamia nut (YUM!), and her award-winning famous chocolate chip. And the extra-added attraction is a copy of Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook by Kathleen King with the foreword written by none other than Ina Garten!
I love Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook! It’s chocked-full of a yummy assortment of desserts and treats, with a few being: Orange Moss (Kathleen has great memories of her grandmother making this light dessert often), Peanut Butter Bread (a must-try!), Gorp Cookies (trail mix turned into a cookie), Oatmeal Scones, Fresh Blueberry and White Chocolate Tart, Magic Bars (an old-style cookie bar from the 1930’s), Raspberry Charlotte, Blueberry Buckle, Bob’s Mud Cake (an interesting recipe given to Kathleen by her professor at Cobleskill College), Whole Wheat Quick Bread and…
The first recipe I tried from Kathleen’s cookbook: Orange Poppy Seed Muffins. Bill was drooling while the muffins were baking up. Oh, my gosh! What a fantastic aroma coming from the oven! They are delicious ~ a very light citrus muffin with a flavor that can be changed to lemon or tangerine. The texture is so light and the top so springy with just a tad of crispiness on the edge after baking. I will be making them with lemon the next time for a change.
Orange Poppy Seed Muffins
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease nine 3 x 1½-inch muffin cups.
In a medium-size bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in the orange rind and the vanilla.
Add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to the butter mixture, finishing with the flour mixture.
Fold in the poppy seeds.
Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them into the flour mixture.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them to the top.
Bale them for 20 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean.
Yield: 9 muffins
