Bumps….. are more than just the best ingredients....old fashion oatmeal, organic unbleached flour, brown sugar, quality fruits and nuts and no preservatives.  It was love that went into every mixing bowl, each batch of cookies and into the mouths of my children that kept them saying "Ma, when are you gonna  make some more of them Bumps?”  The ‘oatmeal pecan raisin’ cookies became our Christmas tradition in the 80’s in Seattle.  We ate them morning, noon and night and all day Christmas.  In 2004, I retired as a high school asst. principal and moved to Atlanta. I gave out Bumps Cookies at Christmas and people raved “Girl what did you put in those cookies?  I can’t stop eating them. You got something there! You should sell these!”  Baking delicious and healthy oatmeal cookies and watching people hum and nod as they tasted them was rewarding.  The possibilities felt like a gift from God and something good to do with the rest of my life!

     So, in January 2005, I took $50 to Costco, bought ingredients and began to ‘give away a thousand cookies’ to see what would happen. I gave out samples at hair salons and coffee shops and asked people a few marketing questions about the taste, the size, the packaging, the price and the name ‘Bumps’.

After a few days of getting good feedback people started giving me a $1. for a snack bag and buying them for their friends.  They called me ‘Ms. Bumps’ and the ‘Cookie Lady’ as I delivered Bumps Cookies around Atlanta in my little red car.  Upon customer requests I created other flavors.  Today we make fresh Bumps Cookies from scratch daily and deliver them in the local Atlanta area & ship them nationwide in Ziploc bags, gift boxes and silver tins.

     ‘Bumps’ are not too big and not too sweet!  When people bite into a ‘Bump’ their taste buds make them look at the cookie with an inquiring look and then they hum or nod.  Little children love them too!  Not often do people have the time to make fresh baked cookies from scratch and children are delighted to taste the fresh, delicious ingredients.  Bumps Cookies are a small indulgence in our fast paced life. Try some and enjoy!!
