Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, 6 Pack 118.8g
Shrink a cookie and you change the bake, not only the size. More edge for the same volume means these come out drier and crisper than the full-size sleeve, so you taste more of the toasting and proportionally less of the chocolate, which happens to suit a cocoa dough that already carries a faint bitterness. It does not suit dunking. At this size there is nothing to hold and no margin at all, so two seconds is the entire window and the chips decide where it ends. Wheat and milk chocolate, and cookie lines commonly handle nuts, so the current pack is what to check.
Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, in brief.
Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip is six sealed bags of small cocoa-dough cookies with chocolate chips through them, 118.8g to the multipack and 19.8g a bag. Picked into the Teas.co.uk selection as the portioned version of a crisp cookie, for lunchboxes and desk drawers rather than for a biscuit tin.
You are paying for six sealed portions, and if the portioning is not the reason, buy the sleeve. Two seconds in the tea, and keep hold of it.
You are buying six sealed portions, each of which is as fresh as the day the box was packed and none of which can turn into eleven biscuits at half past nine in the evening. For a lunchbox, a desk drawer or a house where an open sleeve does not survive the afternoon, that is worth paying for. For sitting at home with a pot of tea, it is not, and you should buy the sleeve.

The Story Behind The Pack
Maryland built its name on making the American chocolate chip cookie work on a British shelf, which meant a thinner, crisper bake than a bakery cookie, because a packet biscuit has to survive weeks of distribution and still be worth opening. The minis take that logic one step further. Shrinking a biscuit raises the amount of edge it has for its volume, and edges are where a bake browns and dries. The result is a cookie that is crisper than the full-size version and carries slightly more of the toasted, caramelised character that comes from the bake rather than from the chocolate.
The sealed bag is the other half of the design, and it solves the real weakness of a crisp biscuit. Once air reaches a crisp bake it softens over a few days and the snap never comes back. A sleeve starts that clock the moment you open it. Six individual bags do not: five of them are still sealed while you eat the sixth. That is why this format lives in lunchboxes rather than in biscuit tins. The ingredient panel, the nutrition table and the allergen statement are on the current UK pack.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The box that arrives is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.
- Six small bags use more packaging than one sleeve, and we would rather say that than dress it up. What they buy back is biscuit that does not go soft and get thrown away, which is the commonest way a sleeve of crisp cookies is actually wasted.
- If portioning is not the reason, the 200g sleeve is lighter on packaging. We would rather say so than sell the wrong format.
- Recycling routes for the outer box and the inner bags differ by council and from each other. Read the current UK pack and check locally.
Serving Notes For Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, 6 Pack 118.8g
- Water temperature: Full boil. There is nothing delicate here.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml, one mini bag per person.
- Steep: Three minutes, medium. Cocoa in the dough means the cup does not need to cut anything.
- Service: Milk helps, sugar no.
- Dunk: Two seconds, and keep hold of it. Small biscuits sink.
- Iced version: Works well. An unsweetened cold-brewed black tea over ice suits a dry, crisp, cocoa-based cookie better than it suits a rich one.
- Best with: A standard breakfast blend with a splash of milk, a plain filter coffee, or cold milk.

The taste profile
How does it compare
A cocoa-based dough is a slightly different pairing problem from a plain one. It is less sweet, so it does not need a cup to cut it, and it carries a faint bitterness of its own, so a harsh cup doubles up on that rather than balancing it. What suits it is a medium, well-made brew with enough body to stand next to the chocolate without competing with it.
The Everyday Mug
The Desk Drawer Route
Made with this tea
The Everyday Mug
How to make The Everyday Mug with Maryland Minis Double Chocolate.
- 1 mini bag of cookies
- 1 bag standard black tea
- 200ml water at a full boil
- A splash of milk
- Brew one bag in 200ml straight off the boil for three minutes. Medium, not stewed.
- Add the milk. It matters more here than with the plain cookie, because dairy fat softens the cocoa bitterness.
- Open one bag and leave the other five sealed, which is the reason you bought this format.
- Skip the sugar. The dough is not sweet enough to need cutting and sugar just flattens the cocoa.
The Desk Drawer Coffee
How to make The Desk Drawer Coffee with Maryland Minis Double Chocolate.
- 1 plain black filter coffee
- 1 mini bag of cookies
- A drawer that is not above a radiator
- Keep the box in a drawer. A sealed bag is still crisp in a fortnight where an open sleeve would not be.
- Brew filter rather than espresso. A cocoa dough is not sweet enough to stand up to a short dark shot.
- Open one bag, eat it, bin it. No reseal, no crumbs at the bottom of a sleeve.
- Resist opening a second. The format is doing the portioning so that you do not have to.
What you'll end up with: A crisp biscuit and no half-eaten sleeve going soft in a drawer.
The Two Second Dunk
How to make The Two Second Dunk with Maryland Minis Double Chocolate.
- 2 or 3 mini cookies
- 1 mug of medium tea
- Two seconds, no more
- Hold the biscuit firmly. A mini has less structure than a full-size cookie and less margin before it gives.
- Count two and lift. Watch the chips rather than the base; the chocolate softens first.
- Eat it straight away, while the softened chips are still warm.
- Stop if the bag has been open since yesterday. A softened mini has nothing left to give.
What you'll end up with: Warm chips in a biscuit that is still crisp, which is the only reason to dunk a cookie at all.
A Dark Cheesecake Base
How to make A Dark Cheesecake Base with Maryland Minis Double Chocolate.
- 2 mini bags, crushed
- 100g plain biscuits, crushed
- 70g melted butter
- A 20cm tin, lined
- Crush in a bag with a rolling pin. A crisp cocoa cookie breaks to a dark clean crumb where a soft one would smear.
- Mix with the plain biscuit crumb so the base sets firm, and use slightly less butter than a plain base needs.
- Press into a lined tin with the back of a spoon and chill for at least an hour.
- Top with a plain or vanilla filling, so the dark base shows through the side of the slice.
What you'll end up with: A base that is already chocolate-coloured without adding cocoa powder, from two bags of the six.
The Lunchbox Bag
How to make The Lunchbox Bag with Maryland Minis Double Chocolate.
- 1 box of 6 bags
- A lunchbox
- A cool dry cupboard for the rest
- Drop one sealed bag in as it is. Do not decant it into a tub; the seal is what you paid for.
- Expect no melting. There is no coating on these, so a warm bag costs you nothing but the odd broken biscuit.
- Keep the remaining bags sealed, cool and dry, and off the shelf above the kettle.
- Switch
What you'll end up with: Six days of crisp biscuit with none of it going soft in between, which is what this format is actually for.
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Cocoa cookie dough | the body | The base is chocolate in its own right, which is what the double in the name refers to. It reads darker and less buttery than the plain Maryland dough and brings a faint bitterness that holds the sweetness down. |
| Chocolate chips | through the dough | Distributed rather than coating a face, so the chocolate arrives in pockets and the bite is uneven by design. They are also what sets the limit on a dunk. |
| Mini format | 19.8g a bag | A smaller biscuit has more edge for its volume, and edges are where a bake browns and dries, so these are crisper than the full-size cookie and carry a little more toasted character. |
| Sealed inner bags | 6 to the box | Five bags stay shut while you eat the sixth, so a crisp bake is not on a clock the way an opened sleeve is. |
Pack: Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, 6 Pack 118.8g; an outer box holding six sealed bags of small cocoa-dough cookies. Best before the date printed on the pack, and best left sealed until the bag is wanted.
Sourcing & blend. Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, 6 Pack 118.8g is made by Maryland, which built its name on making the American chocolate chip cookie work on a British shelf: a thinner, crisper bake than a bakery cookie, because a packet biscuit has to survive weeks of distribution and still be worth opening. The minis take that one step further, since shrinking a biscuit raises its edge-to-volume ratio and edges are where a bake browns and dries. The pack you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market. The reading of the bake as crisper than the full-size cookie, and of the cocoa dough as darker and less buttery than the plain one, is our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description.
What is in Maryland Minis Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mini Bags Multipack, 6 Pack 118.8g, and what is not:
- In: six sealed bags of small cocoa-dough cookies with chocolate chips through them, 118.8g to the box.
- Not soft-baked: this is the crisp British reading of the cookie format rather than a bakery-style one, which is an editorial description of the bake rather than a claim off the pack.
