The newest ready-to-bake release from Pillsbury introduced Pillsbury Big Cookies, a new line of refrigerated cookie dough that's safe to eat raw or prepare six large, bakery-style cookies. “Larger, bakery-style cookies are trending right now, so we knew it was time to bring those big flavors home,” said Michelle Odland, Business Unit Director for Pillsbury.
Big Cookies are more than three times the size of Pillsbury's classic cookies and they're filled with indulgent add-ins that make the fresh-baked cookie experience even more satisfying. While the S'mores variety is loaded with marshmallow pieces and chocolate chunks, Double Chocolate Cherry cuts the richness of cocoa with tart cherries, and Chocolate Chunk Salted Caramel is swirled with salty-sweet goodness.
These bake-at-home cookies are made to satisfy cravings in minutes, sweetening the experience by helping snackers avoid long lines or high delivery fees.
