Meet Tami.

I'm a mom of four who's always loved baking. My midlife move? Open a cookie store.

For years, I was the one making cinnamon rolls that fed the football team and kept the PTA funded. Baking was how I showed up.

Butter & Batch started as a way to share the recipes I'd been making for my family for years. The brown butter chocolate chip cookies, the fudge brownies, the treats that showed up at every birthday and bake sale.

Now we're in Naperville baking those same favorites fresh every day and sharing them with a whole lot more people.

A few things about me

The quick version.

Mom of four

They're my first and toughest taste testers. If it doesn't pass the kid test, it doesn't make the menu.

Carb enthusiast

Never met a carbohydrate I didn't like. Cookies, brownies, bread, pasta. All of it. No apologies.

Teen advocate

I love hiring and working with teenagers. They bring energy, honesty, and a work ethic that keeps this place running.

Celebration person

Birthdays, promotions, Tuesdays. I believe every moment is worth marking, and cookies are a great way to do it.

Community partner

Naperville has been so good to us. We love supporting schools, teams, and local causes however we can.

Brown butter believer

It's not just a gimmick. Browning butter changes everything. That's the secret to every cookie that leaves this bakery.
