Company FAQ
Erin Baker is a real person! She created our original product, the Baker's Breakfast Cookie, in a rented 4-H kitchen in Langley, Washington. In 1996, she moved her growing company to Bellingham, Washington where it remains today. She continues to play a vital role in the company, doing everything from product development to sales. When she's not at the bakery you can find her trail running, mountain biking and snowboarding in the beautiful Cascade Mountains.
Bellingham is located in the Northwest corner of Washington State. Bellingham is about 90 miles north of Seattle and 21 miles south of the Canadian border. The city encompasses about 28 square miles, with north Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands to the west and snow-capped Mount Baker and the North Cascade Mountains to the east.

It's Not Just a Cookie... It's a Meal!® We bake our Breakfast Cookies with simple, whole food ingredients for life on-the-go.

When Erin Baker's began in 1994, the idea of a cookie for breakfast was a brand new concept. With passion and ingenuity Erin Baker invented the Breakfast Cookie. She pioneered the idea of putting simple, nutritious ingredients into a cookie that could be enjoyed for breakfast, or any time of the day for that matter. This "portable bowl of oatmeal" provides sustained energy and wholesome nutrition to millions of people who don't have time for breakfast. Although you will find other replicas of our cookies, in our opinion nothing will ever beat the original, best-tasting, most nutritious breakfast cookie, Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookie.
Yes! Toasting Breakfast Cookies is a hassle-free way to enjoy a warm, nutritious breakfast. Just open the package, pop it in the toaster and you have a delicious, chewy, just out of the oven cookie!
