Extrava- gantly indulgent, these slow-baked cookies feature the highest quality ingredients with no added preservatives. Brent & Sam's pre- mium gourmet cookies offer the highest turning indulgent flavors and are available in small crisp (bite-size), soft and chewy and all-natural flavors. The Brent & Sam's philosophy is sim- ple. Brent & Sam's bakes every batch of premium cookies using only the highest quality ingredients. Many food compa- nies claim to use only the finest ingredi- ents, but Brent & Sam's really does. For uncompromising taste and quality, real butter and margarine, sugars and vanilla extract are combined and baked into fla- vorful cookies. Brent & Sam's uses top of the line nuts, purchasing the "fancy" grade for its delicious cookies. Large chocolate chips, although they are more expensive, are mixed in. Most impor- tantly, Brent & Sam's has a higher ratio of inclusions than found in other cook- ies: more chocolate chips per cookie, more pecans, macadamia nuts and raisins. Ingredients consumers love with absolutely no trans fats or preservatives. Brent & Sam's slow bake process pro- vides ingredients the chance to caramelize and bake into an extremely flavorful, gourmet cookie. Brent & Sam's come in a variety of fla- vors and sizes. Chocolate Chip Pecan, White Choco- late Macadamia Nut, Key Lime White Chocolate and Caribbean Crunch are among Brent & Sam's classic recipes. The company now has an all-butter recipe Shortbread in the lineup. Additionally, several varieties are made with a 100 per- cent natural recipe that provides a great so- lution for consumers looking for delicious tasting cookies sweetened with organic evaporated cane syrup, real butter and all natural ingredients.
