One whiff of that sweet, delicious aroma coming from the oven can make anyone’s stomach grumble. Hot, fresh cookies are always a welcome treat. Pillsbury revealed its newest cookie offering and this one is bigger than anyone expected.
Hitting stores are the new Pillsbury Big Cookies. The newest refrigerated, safe to eat raw, cookie dough offering is three times the size of a classic Pillsbury cookie. These treats are meant to mimic bakery style cookies.
Referencing the newest line Michelle Odland, Business Unit Director for Pillsbury, said, “Larger, bakery-style cookies are trending right now, so we knew it was time to bring those big flavors home. Perfect for anytime indulgence, Pillsbury Big Cookies help you fulfill a craving within minutes. No lines. No delivery fees. Any day of the week. Just warm, delicious cookies straight from your oven.”
The new Big Cookies are available in three flavors, S’mores, Chocolate Chunk Salted Caramel, and Double Chocolate Cherry. Since these cookies are designed to mimic bakery offering, the flavors are more sophisticated. People want bolder flavors, not just a gigantic cookie. When the two can be combined, it is an instant win.
The most interesting of the three cookie flavors is the Double Chocolate Cherry. Cherry flavors are having a moment leading into summer. This cookie is rich and quite satisfying. The combination of the dark chocolate base and the tart cherries feels a touch sophisticated yet still playful.
Since this cookie is larger, it would be perfect in an ice cream sandwich. A simple vanilla ice cream would allow the other flavors to shine. Even a single cookie and scoop could be combined as a substitute for a brownie sundae.
The S’mores cookie makes that classic summertime classic more convenient. There is no need to tame the fire to enjoy that perfect combination of marshmallow and chocolate.
The Chocolate Chunk Salted Caramel is a classic offering that will have wide appeal. With that hint of salt, the flavor is well balanced. These are the cookies that people wished that grandma made.
The Pillsbury Big Cookies bake in 17-21 minutes. They will be available in Walmart this month. Additional retailers will have the cookies soon. The suggested retail price is $5.99.
