Meet The Baker

Hey There! I’m Marlene, The Sourdough Cookie Lady

What started as a natural homemaking blog took a delicious detour when I fell head over heels for sourdough. I opened a home micro-bakery and became known as “the cookie lady” for my creative, customer-favorite sourdough cookies.

Today, I’m the baker behind The Sourdough Cookie Lady at Every Purpose Home, sharing everything from beginner-friendly cookies to unique flavors inspired by your favorite desserts. Every recipe is developed in my own kitchen, and my faith in Jesus is at the heart of everything I create.

On any given evening, you’ll find me baking “just a little sweet treat” for me and my husband, lighting a homemade beeswax candle, and playing gospel music. But being in the kitchen is always more fun with a friend, so choose a flavor, and let’s get baking!
