“We wanted to create something that wasn’t just read. It was experienced,” says Missy, a mother of four and the heart behind the project. “It’s interactive, it’s heartfelt, and it’s designed to bring families together.”

Our Kickstarter for 'Once Upon a Chocolate Chip Cookie' launches JULY 8th!

This beautiful blue smock-style apron was designed with comfort, style, and a little bit of magic in mind. It flows like a classic dress with an extra waist tie for that perfect fit—so whether you’re baking solo or with your littles, you’ll feel cute and confident in the kitchen.

You’ve heard about the cookies. You’ve seen the title. But today, let’s talk about the world of Once Upon a Chocolate Chip Cookie, the new bake-along storybook from Missy Lanning coming Fall 2025, and how it came to life, one cozy kitchen at a time.

It’s not just a book, and it's not just a cookbook. It's a bake-along storybook that brings families together, inspires confidence in the kitchen, and turns reading time into memories that last long after the cookies are gone. The detailed, whimsical illustrations guide you step-by-step — blending recipe and story in a way no other picture book has achieved before. It’s equal parts cookbook, cozy read, and countertop adventure.
