Pillsbury announced the 'Pillsbury Shape Flag Sugar Cookie Dough, Salute to Service,' a ready-to-bake frozen cookie product that supports military families. To create this product, Pillsbury partnered with 'Operation Homefront,' a San Antonio-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping military families adjust to their post-military lives. These ready-to-bake cookies were released just in time for events such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
The Pillsbury ready-to-bake cookie line is simple and easy to use. All of the preparation is already complete in the box, meaning customers must simply pre-heat their oven, put the cookies on a tray, and cook for the specified amount of time. One box contains 20 pre-cut cookies, and the boxes are available at an SRP of three boxes for eight dollars.
These cookie boxes are not just for promotion, though, as each box contains a special code that can be entered online at Pillsbury's microsite dedicated to the initiative. For each code entered, Pillsbury will donate 10 cents to Operation Homefront, up to a maximum of $150,000.
