                      My Better Batch grew out of a need in Hancock’s own life. As a single mother who loves to bake but rarely has time to make cookies from scratch, she found herself looking for a cookie mix that still tasted homemade — something she could feel good serving her family without “mom guilt” and the telltale flavor of processed shortcuts. “I wanted to give people like me a shortcut that they could feel good about,” she says.

                      When she studied the baking aisle, she saw a few entrenched

                      with familiar colors and decades of loyalty, plus pockets of innovation in attribute-specific products like gluten-free or low sugar. What she did not see was a clearly defined premium segment with clean ingredients and a truly homemade taste. Nothing in the baking aisle came close to tasting as good as her made-from-scratch cookie recipes, in her opinion.

                      Hancock began to think of the baking category in three buckets: value, attribute-specific and premium. She deliberately set out to own the premium space with non-GMO, pantry-style ingredients and a higher-end but still accessible price point. My Better Batch cookie mixes cost an average of $7.99 on the product website.

                      “I felt like there was a lack of premium on the shelf, and so that was the area that I wanted to be and the gap that I wanted to fill,” Hancock says.
