Full Video: Trying Brooki Bakehouse Cookies! These Came From Australia!

- We ordered NYC Cookies from Brooki Bakehouse in Australia!!
Brooki Bakehouse cookies took a few days but they just arrived to us in Canada and we were so excited to dig in and try them.
BUT it cost us $37 for 6 cookies (fair enough), plus $50 in international shipping (ok), but then we got surprise carrier/border fees of $24.60 (ugh) making them easily the most expensive cookies we've ever bought. It was for research though, so totally worth it!! Watch til the end to see which flavours we liked best!!
**TIP: We did reorder again, and got 2 boxes at the same shipping price, so order extra & toss some in your freezer to make it worth the shipping charge ;)
If you'd like to watch our newer video (with us reheating the cookies, AND an extra flavour you can find it here: • You HAVE to heat them!...

After making this video, someone pointed out that we skipped the optional reheating step to make the cookies even better - we were so excited that we skipped that step instead of waiting for our oven to preheat - so we may reorder some, to try that out. (This was our very first cookie unboxing video, and they def get better, I promise!! Thank you for your kindness)
**UPDATE: We ordered 2 new boxes of cookies to retry reheated (and a new flavour too!!). Here's the NEW unboxing video for round #2!! • You HAVE to heat them!...

I don’t care how good the cookies taste, there is no way I’m paying $100 for 6 cookies- absolute madness.
Fr
Facts.... that's a week worth of groceries for my husband and I, lol....
Hence you don't dream of buying them they are expensive. I'll only buy if I visit Australia
$100 holds a different value to different people. Your comment comes off as judgemental. Meanwhile we could judge you for being a stickler over a measly 100 bucks. Live a little
@@kori_88measly is crazy
I visited Brookie Bakehouse in Brisbane a week ago for the first time. I live about 2000km (1243 miles) from Brooke's. It was worth it. Amazing cookies, atmosphere and staff. Well worth the visit 😃🍪
That's so awesome to hear!! (And we're kinda jealous!!) ;) We LOVE watching her RUclips. Did you drive the 2000km just for her cookies?!?
I did fly down this time but have driven in the past. The main reason was to visit family. Well that's what I tell them anyway 🤣
@@OldManAsh73 Lol!
This randomly showed up in my feed although I do sometimes watch Brooki's channel. You've got such a bright, eloquent and awesome kid. You both seem like such a great pair, love the content.
loved this review! it’s cute how excited y’all were 😂
Thanks for being such great taste testers, how fun! God bless and keep praying ❤❤
this was a great review andfelt really genuine i love seeing taste test like this
Thank you so much!! I really really appreciate your kind feedback. It was one of our first videos ever ❤
your kid is so adorable!
Aww!! Thank you! Subbed you back too! It feels so cringe, lol, but just gotta get used to it and get better at it, one video at a time. :)
@@marysmindfulbakehouse aww thanks so much! And aww no your doing amazing keep going with it honestly! I really love the review videos! Keep going! Xx
I love Brookis and I have been watching a lot of her videos lately which makes me want to order some so badly, but yikes that price is insane!! I might have to try making some dupes at home lol😋
Depending on where you are, maybe it's not so much... it was the shipping and surprise fees. But we're still glad we did it. And she has so many fun unique flavours. Did you see the recent video where Brook hints at working on a cookbook!??! Maybe you'll be able to get that soon, and make all of them at home (for less than the price of shipping of her cookies)!! *fingers crossed* :)
If you're looking to make some at home, we found the Levain copy cat recipe on hijabs & aprons blog to be really good!!
Can u share the link?
@@marianaumanbutt4204here's the RUclips video link ruclips.net/video/GLTgddyTkYs/видео.html
@@marianaumanbutt4204 here's their blog link too: hijabsandaprons.com/food/levain-bakery-cookies#google_vignette
Love Brookies here in FL it’s almost 100$ yo get them here! But I love to support her! She’s epic!
She def is epic! It's amazing! We love watching her too.
Omg I'd love to taste her cookies, I'm obsessed with her channel!! Instantly subscribed to you too!! Cheers 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 She’s pretty epic! I just reordered some more boxes last night (cuz we skipped the optional reheat step the first time, and want to try them again reheated). But someone also recommended to watch for a sale on her cookie recipe online (I think full price is less than the shipping we’re paying…)
@marysmindfulbakehouse The shipping is the killer, especially being in Canada. A girl can dream though!!
@@lynneanthony168 it totally is! But (unless I took it wrong) I think Brook was hinting in a recent video that she's currently working on a cookbook :) So that would be super cool
I have tried the Brooki bakehouse cookies they are delicious I traveled from far nth Queensland in Australia to try them.
Our new order just came and they were SOOOOOOOO extra delicious reheated. I can only imagine how good they are fresh from her bakery!!!
I live in Melbourne, Australia myself & you have convinced me to try this 'cookie,' however I was taught to call it a biscuit. ❤
Nice! I bet they’re even better in person. Let us know what you think if you do. Lol, in Canada we call them cookies but I think lots of European says “biscuit” like you :)
just subbed :) I'm a small channel too so I totally get the hardships of creating videos haha. Im dying to try brooki's cookies! they look so good!
Lucky you! I’ve been looking at their cookies since forever, the only way to eat it is to go THERE.
Yes!! Australia is totally on my bucket list!! But that's a big trip - won't be anytime soon. So its shipped cookies int he meantime. :) Let us know if you make it there!!!
I’m in Brisbane, not too far from their bakery but I really should make the time to go try some!!
Oooo! If you do, let us know.
I just sent some to a friend who absolutely loved them 🤠
Aww!!!! That's so sweet & awesome of you! Which flavour/packs did you send her?
You can also buy her recipe it’s on sale some time so it’s cheaper and you can make your own without waiting !😊
Thanks for the tip! I’ll watch for that too. 😊
I live in Melbourne, so I think I will order some. 😊
Oh cool! Yes, go for it! And let us know what you think
@@marysmindfulbakehouse thanks so much - of all the different bakeries, which were your favourite? YVR and Levain look lovely too!
@JimmiAlli They were all delicious, but we loved the Levain cookies best. I don't know if it's a fair comparison though... Levain baked them fresh to order and shipped them right away. Even if Brooki did the same, it took 2+ weeks to get to us. (Brooki & YVR def have some innovative flavours which makes theirs super fun for the kids though!)
@@marysmindfulbakehouse thank you very much.
I would love to try those cookies as well. But i think it's too expensive to order from where i live.
Ya, that's totally understandable. It's like $20 a cookie if you live near us. We've been trying to find more local (USA/Canada options) to try that are more cost effective. Levain wasn't too bad if you're in the US (it was only like $16 shipping or something). And we're thinking of coming across the border to get some Crumbl cookies to try soon...
I'm from Sydney myself and need to try this place next time I'm in Queensland. Looks tasty as 🤤
You totally do!! And let us know what flavour(s) you get to try!! And what's your fav. It would have been super cool if we got to pick our flavours.
@marysmindfulbakehouse Will do 👍.. You weren't able to pick your flavours cause they're pre-packaged? That's weird. They look nice and dense and the fact they're dairy free seemed appealing as I'm lactose intolerant. That price tag though that's gotta hurt a bit lol
@@ernskii77 I just went back to her website to double check, and there is a drop down menu, and you can pick from "Best Sellers" (what we got) which is a pre-set pack with: NYC Cookie (Dark Choc Walnut), Nutella Milk Choc Chip, White Choc Macadamia, Biscoff, Double Chocolate, & Classic Choc Chip. Or you can get a 6 pack of one of those above flavours. I found her ingredient list too: www.brookibakehouse.com/pages/cookies. Lots like they all might have butter, and some do have milk products.
@marysmindfulbakehouse dam seems like all their ingredients contain milk and eggs both which I'm sensitive to.. but I appreciate the heads up though 😉.. keep up with the great vids ✌️
@@ernskii77 ugh, sorry! Hopefully she'll do a gf/v flavour soon!!
...why not heat them though? I was surprised you didn't, it makes a huge difference. I always reheat a baked good, especially if it came from that far away
Yes!! You're totally right. We were so excited and it was late so we just opened them. But we did end up reordering so we could do it properly and reheat them and posted a new video (and we got her mini box too to try her red velvet with was all of our favourite). They were really good not heated, but OMG reheated was phenomenal.
Im from Bangladesh and I wonder if they ship it here though. Btw This looks really good.
She is definitely working on adding more countries!! Maybe follow her or check in once and a while to see when she adds Bangladesh :)
I have celiac and i can't gluten myself, so thank you for your sacrifice 😅!
I'm sorry! Cuz even if these places offer a gf version (we've just ordered from Scrumpchies in Canada who offer a gluten-free option and a vegan NYC Cookie, and Levain has a gf one), they're still made in the same facility... and still not celiac safe. :/ We def need more celiac-safe options in the world!!
Lol that $110 can cover my full tuition in one semester
I’m live in Australia I’m going to order some 😮
Oooo! I'm kinda jealous! Let us know what you try!! & what you think! Since then we noticed our cookies were passed the expiry on the box when they were shipped, so I'd love to re-try them fresh.
Would you not be heating them up?
You know what, that's a great point. We totally should have but we were so excited we didn't want to wait for our oven to preheat. Sounds like the perfect reason to reorder them! ;)
@@marysmindfulbakehouse use your mindfulness 😂
@@orlaboland4969 Lol 😂
@@marysmindfulbakehouse 😂🤣
@@marysmindfulbakehouse please get the almond croissant if you ever do reorder. It's one of the best cookie flavours Brooki does :)
You should contest border fees, it’s good for gods sake
Lol! It's a "carrier fee" that certain companies slap on as a charge to get it across the border. DHL for sure does it, and I think UPS does it too (and don't release your package til you pay it!). So if you have a choice in carrier it's nice to avoid those ones. It's not actually a mandatory/border tax. It's so dumb.😅
Heated?
:/ We didn't...we were soooo excited to try them after waiting a week that we didn't heat them. But I feel like we really dropped the ball on that one, so we're going to reorder them & retry with them heated.
Please do, I was literally screaming they're supposed to be heated😭@@marysmindfulbakehouse
@@victoryjessey Lol! We did, and they were even more delicious! (Plus because she’s moved to her newer/bigger facility, they came way faster/fresher). OMG, and the red velvet was to die for!! ruclips.net/video/1vPeLhuylZw/видео.htmlsi=x4qV1rlQUleO01lj
Omg $110 and you didn’t heat them up!!!
lol! I know! 🤣😅 We were just too excited. We got so many comments about that, that we needed up reordering and trying them again, with reheating (and got more flavours too!!) 😁 They were SOOO good.
Cuántos gramos pesa cada galleta? 😋
Over 150 grams each. They're huge!
I wanted to order from her, but I refused to pay $39 in shipping.
she did hint in a recent video that she was considering a pop-up in the USA in the future, so who knows, maybe Brooki World Domination (in a good way!) is coming soon and we can all enjoy her cookies without the huge shipping cost :)
Try Goldbelly for Levin’s ❤
had no idea you could get Levain's thru Goldbelly!! That's an awesome tip, thank you!!
30 uds for sx cookies is the normal price in Australia? 😮They must be good thinking how popular she is..
Hey, yep her website says $44 Canadian for 6 cookies to pick up from the store, which is $7.33ea. The Original Levain/NYC Cookies are about that too $29 for 4. It's just that they're super huge cookies [between 150-200g (like 3-4 regular cookies)]. They were super good after reheating them (the second time we ordered them).
@@marysmindfulbakehouse 😲👍
Your child is so nice and sweet! ❤️
@@ddu020 aw, thank you! I'll pass it on, and you'll make his day :)
you guys didnt even filmed eating the cookies
Yes, thank you, you're totally right. We ordered new cookies from Brooki Bakehouse (and they JUST arrived to my house an hour ago!!) so we can record a new video, with heating the cookies, and better footage)
You need to heat them up before eating them !
Hi! Yes, we dropped the ball on that one and are planning to reorder them to try them again, but reheated. Have you tried her cookies? What flavour(s) did you get to try?
@@marysmindfulbakehouse I tried the same one as you did they are amazing if you heat them up a little crispy outside soft and gooey inside as the chocolate melt! The heat up instruction is on the card!
@@wunna8657 Thank you! Makes me super excited to try them again, since they were already great at room temp. Will make sure to find the card and heat them this time!!
Just placed a new order!! And since shipping was the same for 2 boxes, we got the best seller box again AND the mini cookie box so we can try the red velvet too :)
I think those are frozen. You had to heat them up
Have you tried her cookies before? I'm not sure if they ship frozen, but they were definitely room temp by the time they arrived. We were just too excited to try them, that we skipped the optional reheat step. But now we're thinking of reordering them, to try again, with them reheated. What do you think?
@@marysmindfulbakehouse since it's an international shipping, I'm quite certain it's frozen and packed because they can go bad in few days. Next time you order please heat them up and make a video so we know how they turn out🤔
@@Doesntmatter1690 Thanks! Just placed a new order and figured we'd get extra since the shipping is the same. :) Got a best seller box, AND a mini cookie box (so we can try red velvet too!!)
@@marysmindfulbakehouse I ordered and heated ..tasted way better so yes next time give it a go 😊
@@sleepyanna8188Thanks so much! We're super excited to try!
I’m like can you just open one at time, break open and taste the cookie … 🙄
Totally, apologies, this was one of our very first videos/unboxings. We ended up reordered 2 boxes of her cookies to make a better video (and to reheat the cookies - as we flopped there too).
@@marysmindfulbakehouse I do follow her and the cookies look amazing and I was so anxious to see you guys. Try each one. No need to apologize maybe one day order some cookies. Thank you for breaking down the expense.
They look so dry
They were on the drier side - but I think that's the style of cookie? The YVR ones we tried were like that too.
Brookie specifically advises to warm up the shipped cookies prior to consuming them. If you purchase from her bakery directly, the cookies are fresh baked that day. The shipped cookies obviously are days old, so they need to be warmed up first before eating.
@t5066 Thanks, yes! you're totally right about the reheating! We dropped the ball on that one. We read the recommendation on the card when we opened the box, but were so excited to try them and it was already close to bedtime, so instead of waiting until the next day, we skipped it. I am kicking myself for that now... and thinking about reordering to try again. (Our box also had an expiry date sticker marked a few weeks before our order date, so that may factor in too... and another reason to try again.) Do you live nearby? Have you gotten them fresh from the bakery?? :) What's your fav flavour you've tried?
@@marysmindfulbakehouse I live in the same state as Brooki, but about a 15 hour car trip away so I haven’t been there yet. I often fly into her city though, so I will most definitely visit her bakery. I follow her on social media, so I’m well versed in her journey as a bakery owner and her practices. I reckon that’s how I happened upon your video on her 😊 the algorithm got me! Thanks for your video, it was really informative
@@kinseyt5066 I really appreciate your input. Being so new to RUclips, I didn’t intend or expect one of our very first (and very raw) videos to get so much momentum. (I do love to watch her videos too! What she has created is absolutely amazing & inspiring). And the more the algorithm pushes this video out, the more I feel we need to reorder and make a new video with properly reheated cookies, (to funnel people away from non-heated cookies) and give her proper representation. Thoughts?
Are you going to play with the cookies or taste them? 😒
Yawn......this video didn't hold my interest. It drags. Can't hang on. Bye.
