Bake at Home Kit - Cookies
from £16.00

We’ve been working on our Hey Little Cupcake Baking Kits for a while, and we’re SO excited to finally share them with you!

First up… The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Because if you’re going to bake cookies, they need to be chunky, gooey, chocolatey and melt-in-the-mouth delicious. 🤎

Our easy-to-follow kit makes 6–8 chunky chocolate chip cookies, with all the ingredients you need included — apart from one very important ingredient that unfortunately doesn’t travel very well in the post… an egg! 🥚

🧁 What's Inside?

We’ve done the measuring, weighing and ingredient gathering for you. Your kit includes:

  • Premium flour

  • Sugars

  • Butter

  • Raising agents

  • Chocolate chips

  • Baking parchment

  • Our easy-to-follow recipe

  • A link to our online step-by-step baking video

We use premium ingredients because we want you to get the very best bake at home. And after lots of testing, tweaking, eating and testing again, we’ve created a recipe that we think makes THE BEST chocolate chip cookies.

👩‍🍳 Made With Love & Baking Know-How

These kits have been created with love, plenty of expert baking knowledge and years of experience from our Manchester-born-and-bred independent bakery.

We wanted to create something that anyone could enjoy — whether you’re a budding baker, looking for something fun to do with the kids, planning a family baking afternoon or simply fancy a cosy night in with something delicious in the oven.

No fancy skills required. Just mix, bake and enjoy!
