About Barb Bakes 4 You

When I was a child, I would put on an apron that my sister made for me; walk into the kitchen and declare to my mom, “I’m the cooker now”.  And so, the love of cooking continued throughout my life. 

I think there is a genetic component to my passion for baking that comes from my father. He was a dentist but was also known for his cookies. Dad would make our lunches for school and invariably a food swap bidding war would ensue over Dad’s cookies.  Upon his passing to honor his reputation as a cookie baker, my sisters and I made his three most popular cookies to hand out at his celebration of life service. Each package contained one cookie with a sticker on the front that had his life span from birth to heaven as well as this statement that described him to a “T”:  “Oscar’s joy in life was not only bringing you happiness with a plate full of his homemade cookies, but it was also letting you have the last one.  Enjoy.”  

Knowing that my cookies bring happiness to others, in turn gives me a sense of delight and joy. 

Who doesn't love fresh baked cookies? I'm sure you or someone you love would be thrilled to get delicious cookies every month. By joining the Barbbakes4you Cookie of the Month Club, you can sign up for either 3 or 6 months of a different flavor cookie every month. Each package will contain 12 large cookies of a selected kind for that month, or in the case of Rice Krispie squares there will be 6, and for Caramelized Cheeto snacks, there will be 4 quart size Ziploc bags full. For the month of December only, a special request may be made for the order to be Scottish Shortbread. 

All of these home-made goodies are made fresh and packed with care, They will be shipped every second Monday or last Monday of each month depending on the date that will be designated for you. If the date of shipment falls on a holiday when the post office is closed, it will be shipped the following Tuesday. For those that prefer picking up locally in Maricopa, AZ your order can be picked up at the paring lot of Goodwill on John Wayne Parkway where I will be set up from 3 to 4 pm on those two Mondays of the month. If either of these delivery methods are not accommodating with your schedule, feel free to contact me to arrange for pick up. 

It is recommended that cookies be consumed within a 2  period after receiving your package. If you choose to freeze cookies there is no guarantee that the cookies will retain that same fresh from the oven flavor and texture. 

Here is a list (not in any particular order) of the different kinds of cookies and treats you will get: 

* Classic Chocolate Chip

* Salted Caramel Loaded Chocolate Chip

* Lemon Lemon Chip Blueberry Craisin

* Biscoff Cookie Butter Doodle

 There is a sign on my pantry door that says, "The secret ingredient is always love... and butter." That is absolutely true for my baking philosophy. It makes my day knowing that my baked goods have brought joy into someone's life, even if just for a moment.

 I always use fresh ingredients and bake one batch at a time. Over the years my recipes and techniques have resulted in the best cookies, scones, and banana bread that keep people coming back for more.
