Millie’s Cookies has been that one treat we kept walking past, always telling ourselves we’d grab it next time. Well, next time finally came during our latest UK trip, and spoiler alert: we should’ve stopped sooner.
Since 1985, this beloved UK brand has been baking up sweet memories across the nation. My husband grew up with Millie’s Cookies, so there was a nostalgic pull every time we passed a store. At Lakeside Shopping Centre, I decided enough was enough. We walked in and got ourselves a box of twelve cookies in six different flavours.
The Pricing Sweet Spot
Millie’s Cookies offers bulk discounts that actually make sense. A single cookie costs £1.59, but spring for a box of 24 and you’ll pay £16.99. Go big with 50 cookies for £24.99. The more you buy, the cheaper each cookie becomes. You can mix and match flavours too, which is brilliant for indecisive cookie lovers like us. Just note that prices can vary depending on which store you visit.
We sampled Brownie, Double Choc, Salted Caramel, Milk Choc Chip, White Choc and Jaffa. Quite the lineup, honestly.
What Makes Millie’s Cookies Stand Out
Each Millie’s cookie isn’t particularly thick, but that’s not a bad thing. You get that soft, slightly chewy centre with golden edges that add just the right crispness. The buttery aroma hits you first, followed by that comforting sweetness we all crave from a proper cookie.
Now, fair warning: Millie’s Cookies lean sweet. Not overpoweringly so, but definitely noticeable. They’re the perfect companion to your black coffee or tea. The texture balance is spot-on: soft and chewy in the middle, with enough bite around the edges to keep things interesting.
Beyond Regular Cookies
Here’s something fun: Millie’s Cookies does customisation. Message cookies, personalised designs, and those massive cookie cakes that can legitimately replace a birthday cake. Why get predictable when you can show up with a giant cookie instead?
Clearly meant to be characters from Avatar, but honestly… the execution’s a bit of a disaster, oops.
Quality can vary slightly depending on who’s decorating your cookie, but that’s part of the charm. You never quite know what you’ll get, and honestly, that element of surprise makes it more fun.
They’ve got cookie cupcakes too!
