Nana Keek’s Offers Hassle-Free Holiday Cookie Baking Option Accompanied by Philanthropic Component

SAN DIEGO - Dec. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Nana Keek’s™ Gourmet Cookies (NK’s) is helping to take the hassle out of holiday cookie baking while offering an opportunity to give back to the community with a philanthropic outreach program. NK’s is an artisanal cookie manufacturer located in Carlsbad, CA and is an industry leader in the ready-to-bake cookie category by offering pre-shaped, preservative–free, organic cookies that are frozen to ensure freshness. What differentiates this product from others currently on the market is that all the organic ingredients are measured, mixed and formed into patties before being frozen. Dough patties can be taken from the freezer, thawed in desired quantities and baked in an oven or toaster oven without the nuisance of mixing dough and forming cookie shapes. Popular with busy Mom’s and single Dad’s, the product is also beneficial to those watching their caloric intake, by providing portion control with number of patties baked at one time.

In the spirit of its’ corporate mission, NK’s will donate 5% of each completed online order to a broad selection of local charities. With each purchase, consumers have the option to select from the following non-profit organizations: Nativity Prep Academy; Magdalena Ecke YMCA; Casa de Amparo; Salvation Army of San Diego; Community Resource Center (Encinitas); PhotoCharity; The Gathering Youth Ministry; Hospice of the North Coast; San Diego Botanical Gardens; La Jolla Playhouse; Eco Life Foundation; Guide Dogs for the Blind; United State Association of Blind Athletes; Little Angels Service Dogs or Conner’s Cause for Children. Additionally, any non-profit organization that completes a minimum bulk order of 100 cookies for fundraising purposes (religious groups, schools, galas) by phone are eligible to receive a 5% discount on the total transaction. All holiday orders placed online or by phone by 11:00 pm on Sunday, December 22, 2013 will be guaranteed delivery by December 25^th.

According to NK’s Owner, Karen Macbeth, "Our company has experienced extraordinary growth this year and the NK’s online charitable component provides us with the opportunity to give back in appreciation for growing consumer support. Our organic product lines are now available in the freezer section of Sprouts stores nationwide, select Albertson’s stores in San Diego and Orange County, Southern California Whole Foods Markets, California Bristol Farms stores as well as Stumps Market in Rancho Santa Fe and Seaside Market in Cardiff. I never use any type of preservatives and all my products are made in small individual batches by hand and with plenty of love---just like I cook for my own family. To me, cookies are at their very best when consumed within an hour or two of baking, while the chocolate chips are still ‘melty’ and the cookies are warm, which is why I sell them as frozen, unbaked patties, so that the end consumer can have the ultimate experience when enjoying home-made cookies straight out of the oven.”

NK’s is headquartered in Carlsbad, Calif., and offers a variety of cookie flavors including Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Pecan, Oatmeal Macadamia Triple Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Cherry Espresso Brownie, Coconut Lime, Oatmeal Raisin Date, Oatmeal Triple Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip in a wide variety of options. This includes Original Cookies, Premium Cookies, Mini Cookies, Gluten-Free varieties and Nut-Free offerings. Cookies may be ordered in a variety of quantities from single patties of 10 to more than 100 patties (original size) or 200 patties (mini size).
