Hi, I’m Amanda Brooks, the baker and recipe creator behind Cookies & Bars.

At 32 years old, I’ve spent years exploring the joy of homemade baking and discovering how simple ingredients can create unforgettable desserts. What started as a passion for baking cookies and sharing treats with family and friends eventually grew into a desire to help others experience that same happiness in their own kitchens.

That passion led to the creation of Cookies & Bars a place dedicated to delicious desserts, comforting classics, and easy-to-follow recipes that anyone can make. From chewy cookies and fudgy brownies to decadent dessert bars and seasonal treats, my goal is to share recipes that are both approachable and rewarding.

I believe baking is more than just following a recipe. It’s about creating memories, celebrating special moments, and bringing people together. Whether you’re an experienced baker or trying your first batch of cookies, I want every recipe on this site to inspire confidence and make your time in the kitchen enjoyable.

Through Cookies & Bars, I share carefully crafted recipes, baking tips, ingredient guides, and creative dessert ideas designed to help home bakers achieve great results. Every recipe is tested with simplicity, flavor, and reliability in mind so you can focus on enjoying the baking experience.

When I’m not developing new recipes, you’ll usually find me experimenting with seasonal flavors, perfecting classic desserts, or searching for fresh inspiration for the next sweet creation.

Thank you for visiting Cookies & Bars and becoming part of this wonderful baking community. I’m excited to share my favorite recipes with you and hope they bring as much joy to your kitchen as they do to mine.

Happy Baking!
