Are brewer's yeast and active yeast the same?

Or are they different?

I could only find active and bread machine yeast where I went. Will this work?

It is not the same. If you're making the cookies you can use nutritional yeast fro a health food store. If there's a beermaking store see if they have brewers yeast. The health food store would have it as well most likely.

I was able to get it in bulk at WinCo, you just have to know what to look for.

At most natural food stores it comes in a very fine powder, but in bulk/cheap store it looks like little golden flakes (kinda fish-food-ish)

If you smell it it smells like old gym socks.....
