Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend Expo West along with thousands of other attendees and exhibitors in Anaheim, California. I always look forward to this event because it is a great way to learn about new companies in the natural product space. One of the brands that I was able to connect with is My Better Batch. My Better Batch makes cookie mixes with all natural ingredients. According to their website, the company started when a mom wanted an easy cookie mix that tastes homemade.
My Better Batch comes in several flavors, including Celebration and Chocolate Chunk (shown above), as well as Double Chocolate Chip and Classic Sugar.
A couple of days ago I realized I needed to bring dessert for a potluck. We had just returned from our spring break vacation and I did not have time to plan out a trip to the grocery store. This was the perfect opportunity for me to try out the My Better Batch Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix. All you need is one egg and six tablespoons of butter, which I always have on hand.
On the back of the Celebration Cookie Mix box, there was a picture of a recipe that suggested adding in freeze-dried strawberries. Since I had already some freeze-dried strawberries on hand, I decided to mix them in as well.
The mix and ingredients can be combined by hand or stand mixer. I went with the stand mixer, and this is what the dough looked like. It literally only took a couple of minutes-super simple!
Here is how the cookies turned out-don’t they look good? My family and I can attest that they were also very tasty. In fact, my husband did indeed think that the cookies were made entirely by scratch. He was surprised to hear that they came from a mix.
Funny story, the next day my daughter realized last minute that she also needed to bring a dessert to her own get-together. I told her we still had the Celebration Cookie Mix, so it saved me another trip to the grocery store. Her cookies came out just as well and were a hit! My Better Batch saved the day, again!
