My name is Laura and I have a small nut free cookie business that I run out of my home.   My son is severely allergic to nuts, so I started making cool nut-free cookies for him to bring to holidays, birthday parties, and other events where the desserts may not be safe for him to eat, so that he would not be bummed out that he couldn't have birthday cakes, etc.  My friends with food allergic kids started asking me to create cookies for their families too and the business grew from there.
