Meet the Baker

It started with Grizz.

My dad, Dave Warner, has a few nicknames in our family. Mostly he is known as Grizz. He is a big guy, with a bigger heart, and he makes the best chocolate chip and walnut cookies you will ever taste. His recipe is the stuff of family legend: the one everyone asks for at gatherings, the one that makes the house smell like home.

I’m Anna Warner, a single mom who set out to build a better life for my family and, somewhere between mixing bowls and midnight bakes, found a love for baking I didn’t know I had.

When it came time to name the company, there was only one choice. Grizzly Bear Baking Company. My way of honoring my dad and sharing his recipe, and the recipes it inspired, with all of you.

Every cookie is baked by hand in my Michigan Cottage Food Law certified home kitchen (certified through Michigan State University). They’re massive, loaded with high-end ingredients, and made the way Grizz makes them: generous.

Thanks for being part of the story. Anna 🐻🍪
