Our youngest Rising Star, Emerson Metropoulos, is only 8 years old and she is allergic to tree nuts. When she realized that treats for allergen-challenged kids weren’t readily available – anywhere – she and her mom created a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is free of tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, dairy, egg, soy, and gluten! Emerson wanted to make sure that none of her friends were denied a delicious treat just because of an allergy.
Emerson also came up with the idea of selling them in individually-wrapped packaging for convenience and ease. In one short year, her organization, Sweet E’s Cookies, has already sold over 3,000 cookies!
Emerson hopes you’ll try out their cookies, whether a sweet treat for yourself, a birthday party, a friend, or a gift as they are perfect for every occasion for anyone with, or without, allergies!
