About me

Hi there! I’m a high school U.S. History teacher by day and a home baker by night, fueled by caffeine, curiosity, and a love for really good cookies.​

 

My baking journey began in 2019 when my husband, a now-retired police officer, took some of my cookies to work. His fellow officers devoured them and immediately started sending messages like, “You have to start selling these!” So, I listened. I spent more than two years perfecting the recipe, testing, tweaking, and handing out samples to my husband’s coworkers, my fellow teachers, and my brave students (the best taste-testers around).​When it came time to name my business, I knew I wanted to honor the people who inspired it. L1 Cookie comes from my husband’s final call sign, “L1,” and his nickname, “Cookie”, a title he earned for always cooking at team gatherings. Without their encouragement, I probably would’ve kept all the cookies to myself (which, let’s be honest, wouldn’t have been too terrible).​ As time went on, word spread and people started asking me to bake more than just cookies. Before I knew it, my little cookie business had grown into a full-fledged home bakery. Now I whip up cakes, cupcakes, tiramisu, and other sweet treats. My blueberry muffins and English muffins have become local legends, and, honestly, they might give the cookies a run for their money!​

 

I use only high-quality organic ingredients and never any seed oils, because cookies (and everything else I bake) should be indulgent, not industrial. My chocolate chip cookies remain the fan favorite, and since my dough rests for over 24 hours to reach that perfect balance of chewy and crisp, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for orders.

 

Thanks for stopping by and supporting my little bakery dream!
