The Hack That Can Get You Costco Cookie Dough At A Delicious Price
So many people go through life with a constant undercurrent of temptation coursing through their veins, tortured by the knowledge of a forbidden fruit slowly gathering frost in the freezer. Cookie dough is arguably better than the final baked product, but it's common knowledge that eating cookies before they've been baked is a recipe for a delicious disaster — just ask the CDC.
Despite the inherent risks, people's love of cookie dough has led to innovations in the field of edible batter. You can currently enjoy scoops of perfectly edible dough at The Cookie Dough Cafe, a Portland-based bakery. If you can handle having dangerous dough sitting around your home, the beloved supermarket chain Costco offers an incredible deal on cookie dough. You can save the Costco bake staff some time while securing yourself a surplus of storable sweet treats by buying a massive package filled with dozens of pre-portioned cookies.
Costco's Kirkland Signature cookie hack
Anyone who has browsed the aisles of a Costco is familiar with the company's cheap Kirkland Signature line of products. Whether you want baked goods or affordable vodka, Kirkland has you covered. Facebook Costco connoisseur and critic Costcuisine said that Kirkland's cookies are an absolute must-buy. Costcuisine's "walk on by" to "must buy" scale would've likely been shattered irreparably if the reviewer had known about the secret Kirkland cookie dough hack.
If a person is able to afford the modest cost of a Costco membership, they almost certainly have another $22.99 on hand to splurge on a 120-cookie box of Kirkland Signature dough. (For the mathematically uninclined, that's ten dozen cookies!) As TikTok user @piinktoks explains in her video, all you have to do is ask one of the company's baked goods specialists to get you a box.
The ability to buy these massive boxes varies by location. Some bakeries can't dole out bulk dough. Other locations though, such as certain Costco's in Canada, can actually ship frozen cookies to customers.
More information on Costco cookies
Finding out whether or not your local Costco actually offers this bulk box of Kirkland Signature cookie dough is as easy as asking an employee if their store does. However, there are a few ways for you to find out if a store participates in the deal.
For many folks, finding a package of Kirkland cookies is just a matter of walking to the Costco freezer section. TikTok user @costcofabfinds shows us stacks of sweet treats sitting in the freezer, and fellow user @er_.marie specifically clarifies in the comments of their video that the cookies are found in the freezer section — not in the Costco bakery.
Cookie cravers can also get their fix by shopping at a Costco Business Center. These unique Costco locations are centered around small businesses, and as such, offer massive bulk items like the cookie dough box. Before you let yourself think that the 120 cookie case is the best deal that Costco offers, TikTok user @theyoungbloodlife purchased 330 frozen Kirkland cookies for only $60!
Though widely beloved, these large, decadent Kirkland treats are far from Costco's only foray in the world of cookies. In fact, Costco's Thin & Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies may be a perfect Tate's copycat.
