Our Cookies

Naked Cookies

Naked Cookies are deliciously guilt-free cookies without any fancy decorations, refined sweeteners, artificial flavourings and preservatives on them. These cookies are perfect for tea time snacks, to share at friends & family gatherings, or really just to munch on anytime anywhere.

We are pleased to offer a fine selection of different flavours ranging from all-time favourites ‘Naked Dark Cocoa Peppermint Cookies‘ & ‘Naked Earl Grey Lavender Cookies‘, to modern cookie flavour combinations ‘Naked Peanut Butter Manuka Cookies‘ & ‘Naked Caramel Macchiato Cookies‘, just to name a few. We try our best whenever possible to use natural ingredients for our Naked Cookies. This means that they’re not only less sweet and healthier, you’ll also get to enjoy the natural flavour in each bite.
