To find the percent increase, we need to first find the difference between the two amounts: 45 cookies - 24 cookies = <<45-24=21>>21 cookies
Then we divide the difference by the original amount and multiply by 100% to express the increase as a percentage: 21 cookies / 24 cookies * 100% = 87.5%. Answer: \boxed{87.5}.
