Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Cookies are a new soft-baked snack product from the brand that combines the flavor profile of fresh cinnamon rolls with the convenient format of cookies. The snack product is launching in individual serving pouches that feature miniature soft-baked cookies with ample cinnamon flavor in the mix, which is further enhanced with a drizzle of icing on the top. The cookies are formed to look like miniature versions of cinnamon rolls instead of conventional cookies to further reinforce the hybrid baked good profile.
Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Cookies are arriving at retailers in 10-pouch boxes alongside 28-count boxes, which are launching as a club store exclusive. The product is great for packing into lunches, but also works well as a portioned treat for adults.
