Storyline
Things haven’t been the same since Grandma Cooper passed away. Her bakery, Cooper’s Cookies, was the heart and soul of the idyllic town of Maple Ridge for decades. After her passing, her granddaughter “Little” Annie Cooper stepped in to fill Grandma’s shoes, but Annie isn’t quite having the same luck that Grandma did. Business is struggling, and the head of the Cooper’s Cookies board would rather see Annie replaced than succeed. Annie is feeling the pressure, and to make matters worse, someone has stolen Grandma’s secret cookie recipe! Thankfully, Sam, the owner of the second-best bakery in town, and his daughter Bella have agreed to help Annie rediscover her family’s recipe. Maybe in the process, Annie and Sam will uncover the ingredients for romance. After all, every recipe starts with a little bit of love.
