The Bikky is a single-serve cookie maker that promises fresh cookies in just minutes, but at around $130, it immediately raises some eyebrows. I put it through a serious real-world test with both tube-style cookie dough and homemade dough to see if this tiny appliance actually earns its spot on the counter.

Bikky Review
Bikky is essentially a very small countertop cookie oven designed to make one cookie at a time (with a capacity up to two cookies). It has a very small footprint, includes a crumb tray, and comes with accessories like a silicone glove and baking tray insert. On paper, it sounds like a fun idea, especially for dorm rooms, apartments, offices, RVs, or anyone who likes novelty kitchen appliances.
The first thing I noticed was that the instructions were not always consistent vs the website and product videos. In one place, the Bikky is presented as a no-preheat appliance that can make a cookie in about three minutes. Elsewhere, the instructions recommend preheating, and the timing appears closer to five minutes on the higher setting. There were also conflicting directions about handling the cookie after baking, which made the learning curve a little more confusing than it should have been.
For my first round of testing, I used tube-style cookie dough, which the company says is the ideal option. I tested both the “crispy” and “chewy” settings. The results were decent, but not dramatically different from one another. The cookie baked on the crispy setting had a firmer outside, but it was still soft in the center. The chewy setting produced an even softer cookie that tended to fall apart if handled too soon. In both cases, I found that the recommended cooling time of one minute was not enough. The cookies needed several more minutes to fully set up.
I also tried baking two cookies at once, both on the chewy and crispy settings. That did work, but I noticed that the cookie placed farther toward the back seemed to cook a little more than the one in front. That became a recurring theme throughout testing: the back of the unit consistently appeared to run hotter than the front, which resulted in somewhat uneven baking.
On day two, I moved on to homemade cookie dough to see how the Bikky would handle something other than pre-made refrigerated dough. The good news is that it did work. I was able to make cookies with a simple homemade dough recipe, and they came out edible and reasonably well formed. The downside was that, once again, there was very little practical difference between the Bikky’s two settings. The so-called crispy setting got the cookies closer to done, while the chewy setting felt more like a lighter bake than a genuinely different texture.
I also tested the Bikky with a basic slice of cheese toast, since the included materials suggest it can do more than just cookies. It was able to toast bread and melt cheese, but the same uneven heating issue showed up again. The back edge browned faster while the front lagged behind, making it harder to get an even result without overcooking one side.
To answer the obvious question, I compared the Bikky against a regular countertop oven. Using my Wonder Oven, I baked a single cookie at 350 degrees for five minutes after a five-minute preheat (matching the time of the Bikky using the crispy setting and preheat), and the result was a bit better overall. The cookie came out more evenly baked, more fully formed, and just looked more like what most people would expect from a good cookie.
There are definitely some positives here. Bikky is easy to use, easy to clean, and it does make one or two cookies relatively quickly. It also has a small footprint, and some people may find the single-serve concept charming. If you really want a dedicated appliance whose entire purpose is making a personal cookie, it does what it says it does.
Still, the drawbacks are hard to ignore. The heating is uneven, the difference between the two settings is minimal, and the total process is slower than the marketing suggests once you factor in preheating, baking, and cooling time. Most of all, the price feels steep for what this appliance actually delivers. When inexpensive toaster ovens can produce similar or better results for a fraction of the cost, the Bikky starts to feel more like a novelty than a must-have kitchen gadget.
My overall impression is that the Bikky works, but it is a tough sell at this price. It can make a cookie, and it can even handle a couple of other simple tasks, but I do not think it offers enough of an advantage over a cheap toaster oven to justify the premium.

Bahahaha one cookie for 130 bucks
My initial thought was… “It had better be a really good cookie!”
