Who made this system?

Amanda Bloom

I’m a home baker who spent years wondering why my chocolate chip cookies never turned out right, even when I followed the recipe. I felt frustrated and confused by baking blogs that showed perfect cookies but I never got the same results. After 25 years of baking in a busy home kitchen, I built a simple system that works. Now I help other bakers understand what makes chocolate chip cookies work so they can get great results every time.
