My mother in law is not Jewish. She baked cookies for us (including her grandchildren) using only kosher ingredients. Can these be considered pat palter or be permissible in some other way?

If the children are under Bar/Bat Mitzvah, there is no issue. The older children and adults may be a problem. Offhand, I cannot see a way to allow it without a Jew turning on the flame or helping in the baking. If Grandma’s heritage is from Spanish or Portugese, it would be allowed, though.
