I recently heard about the BāKIT Box company and thought that it sounded amazing!! During the holidays, I’m always looking for new ideas for quick gifts, and yummy treats for when family and friends will come over. What can be better than cookies for Christmas? or any other time of the year, for that matter? I miss the days of having my son home and helping in the kitchen. My granddaughter is only 1.5, so I’m not sure if I want her helping with baking yet. Can’t wait for the day that I can have her come over to help. Flour on the nose and yummy cookies coming out of the oven. What could be better?
I really loved visiting the BāKIT Box YouTube channel. There was a video on how the company was started, and it made me like the products even more. I love supporting a business, led by women who went with their dream and succeeded. Such an amazing story. Be sure to head over to their YT page (link below) to find out more.
Overall, I was very happy with the baking kit that I received. I know that there are many different ones in the grocery store, but who (like me) is getting a bit tired of sugar cookies? and chocolate chip? I love that these ladies have different options, and from places that are like a mini vacation from your oven. Learning about different cultures, and tasting things that are popular there, was an added plus for the box I received. I cannot wait to order more and see where else the BāKIT Box can take me!

About the BāKIT Box, I received:
Arguably one of the most popular cookies of the winter holiday season, Spritz cookies are sure to please. Named for the German word “spritzen” which means “to squirt”, you’ll understand why when you get to step 4. Traditionally, one would use a Spritz cookie press that has different plates to give the cookies almost any shape you can imagine. We will be using a piping bag with star tip for a traditional take, however you can pipe the cookie dough to your preferred shape. Perfect for Santa’s cookie plate!
Serving size: 40 cookies
Cook time: 1 hour
Difficulty level: Easy
Bake within: 2 months
What’s in your kit? All Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Unsalted Butter Powder, Granulated Sugar, Vanilla, Whole Milk Powder, and Piping Bag with Star Tip. You will need: 1 Egg Electric Mixer with Paddle Attachment OR Large Mixing Bowl and Wooden Spoon, Spatula, and Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper or Non-Stick Baking Mat Optional: Additional flavors like lemon extract or almond extract. *Please note: this recipe contains gluten, dairy, and eggs
I had never made cookies like this before, but the instructions were super simple to follow and laid out really well. Getting started, I prepared everything as directed (adding some lemon juice to add flavor) and put it in the piping bag, but had a really hard time getting it to come out. With the start of arthritis in my hands, that’s probably what the issue was. I’m sure one with stronger hands would have no problem. I just decided to skip that part and put it by the spoonful on the plate. Definitely not as pretty, but hey, it worked!
When the cookies were all laid out (2 whole sheets, but I’m sure it could have been even more), I put it in the oven. It only took about 20 minutes to bake. This was a little different than the directions, but living above 6500′, I’m used to making changes in my dishes, so nothing new to me and still didn’t take very long!
They came out looking like my Grandma’s cookies, and were super soft and golden on the bottom. I wish I could have had the beautiful shapes like shown on the package. I think with the next kit that I buy, I’ll just have my husband do that part to keep it easy.
The kit is amazing, and has everything you need, except for just a few basic ingredients. These are perfect for those that don’t bake too often, and want that special something for a party, etc. I think I’m going to buy a few more, just to have in the cupboard for when that last minute event happens. They are so easy to make, and have such quality ingredients, I would be very proud to share them. A huge thanks to the BāKIT Box company for letting me try this great product, and have some fun getting flour on my nose!

Mmm, these look amazing. I bet they taste so good! I would love to try out that package!
They are great, and fun to make.
I was going to order this but it seems a little pricey for me. I did get a 30% off code today so maybe will give it a try.Look really good and I love baking!
I thought it was a bit pricey, too – but when I made the recipe, there turned out to be a lot that it made. If I would have done the size that they advised, it would have made maybe 5-6 dozen! You definitely get your money’s worth!
I’ve been looking for recipes to try with the kids, this was a huge help!
These packages are amazing!! So easy to make.
I am looking for new treats too. And this box is exactly what I need!
They were fun to make. Not the usual recipe that I would use, so it was fun to try something different!
What a fun kit. They did turn out very scrumptious looking.
I wish I could have made them pretty like the package, but oh well – as long as they taste good, right?
This sounds so much fun baking with my kids was so special. I only bake around the holidays. Which is something that we always try thanks for sharing this with us.
I try to bake often, but don’t always have time or the ingredients. This kit really helped with that!
That sounds like such a fun project. I love baking. That does sound like such a simple and convenient way to make cookies. It’s something we would try ourselves.
It’s great for those that are new to baking, or just want to make something quick!
I have never heard of this before. I’m going to have to try it out as I love to bake.
I just learned about it and loved it! Plus, they have so many other options to try!
My husband loves spritz cookies and makes his own, but this looks like a fun gift idea for others interested in baking!
Yeah, I wish I was strong enough to make them like that.
I love this concept! I bet it would be really fun to do with the grandkids too!
They would probably love it!!!
I love boxes like these. They are so much fun to do with your family. My daughters and I enjoy baking together.
This one is great quality and explained so well. I would definitely recommend it!
Wow! These look really yummy! The box sounds really awesome too! I’ll have to look into it!
It’s definitely worth it!
I would love this subscription! What a fun idea to have new baking ideas each month!
It is amazing, plus you don’t have to worry about having the ingredients at home!
This looks like my favorite kind of fun — delicious fun that ends in treats that I can eat! This is a great gift idea!
The mess is always worth it, in the end. I bet the boys would love it!
This looks like it would be a lot of fun to do with the kids this year.
I bet the kids would love it. It was a bit messy for this big kid, so just a warning. Nothing wrong with family time and a mop, though! 🙂
This looks like a lot of fun. I love how pretty much every you need is included!
I loved that, too. All I needed to add was a bit of water and 1 egg! Super simple!
