Hello

I truly believe everyone is happy when eating a cookie, and I love making people happy. It started when I brought in Christmas cookies to share at my first post-college job and I saw the joy across my co-workers faces when they took their first bite. I began collecting family recipes and practicing over the weekends. Baking became my stress-relief, my cure for boredom and my easy "thinking of you" treat. I started researching the science and chemistry behind baking and how flavors and techniques can change the outcome of a bake. And people noticed. 

​

Jump ahead a few years to the summer of 2024. I had returned to work after maternity leave, where I spent many days with my baby strapped to me and baking in the kitchen. That same week, my mother-in-law, who had consistently told me to sell my goodies, had passed away from cancer. I felt broken and lost, and I coped with considerable amounts of baking. After a family outing with my latest creation, my brother-in-law told me if I didn't start selling cookies within a year I'd have a problem. I took it to heart. I named my soon-to-be bakery "Anahebik" which is roughly translated to "I love you" in Arabic, and how my toddler ended every conversation with his late grandmother. By Christmas I had my first order.
