How to Buy Frozen Cookie Dough in Bulk From Costco

If having your freezer filled with cookie dough that you can bake and enjoy warm whenever you want sounds like a dream come true, then Costco has a bulk cookie deal that you need to know about. 

When I purchase a box of cookies from a grocery store, the first two days of eating them are always the best, while the baked goods still taste fresh and have a soft texture. However, as the “best by” date quickly approaches, the remaining cookies become increasingly dry and stiff each day. While they’re still technically fine to eat, stale cookies aren’t nearly as good — and I hate wasting food too — so I always prefer to stock up on frozen, ready-to-bake cookie dough for whenever I need a fresh treat.

For anyone else who prefers to always have freshly baked cookies and happens to have a Costco membership, you can score a box of 120 frozen cookie dough “pucks” for a surprisingly affordable price from the warehouse retailer. Not only that, but this is the same cookie dough Costco uses to make its Kirkland-brand packaged bakery cookies, so if you love those, this is a hack for enjoying them freshly baked whenever you want.

These boxes of bulk cookie dough are most commonly available in Canada Costco stores, where they can be found either in the freezer section or requested at the bakery department. But United States customers shouldn’t despair, there’s still a secret way to acquire this deal here: some Costco Business Centers — special locations of the retailer that focus on supplying restaurants and other businesses — in the U.S. do sell these giant boxes of cookie dough. Here’s everything you need to know.  

How do you buy frozen cookies in bulk at Costco?

A Canada-based TikTok user shared that, instead of purchasing the already baked and packaged Kirkland Signature Gourmet Chocolate Chunk Cookies (which come in plastic boxes containing 24 cookies), she prefers the more enticing alternative: buying the frozen cookie dough used to make them in larger quantities at a great discount. To do this, she simply goes to the bakery department and asks for the frozen chocolate chunk cookie dough in bulk.

If you’re in the U.S., you’ll likely need to visit a Costco Business Center to snag this deal. Some business centers offer these bulk boxes of cookie dough online for delivery, and one customer documented finding the box of cookies in the freezer section at a Costco Business Center in person in 2023, where 120 cookies cost just $24.49.

Considering that 24 already baked cookies cost $11.69 at my nearest Costco, that’s a steal. It’s important to note, though, that prices may vary depending on store location, and delivery charges can increase the final cost. For example, when we checked the cost of having these cookies delivered locally from a Costco Business Center in California, they were priced at $44.99.

Not only is this an affordable way to stock up on cookies, but because this dough is frozen, it will last longer, minimize the number of grocery trips needed, and yield fresh treats every time. 

As Redditors have pointed out, not every business center has this item available, so customers with nearby Costco Business Centers should call in advance to check if these boxes are in stock at their location.

As many would agree, nothing truly compares to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies filling the room with the delightful scent of butter and melted chocolate. With these frozen cookies in your freezer — which cost about 20 cents apiece if that $24.49 price is accurate, or 30 cents each if you’re paying $44.99 — you’ll have a warm treat at the ready whenever you crave it, perfect for serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
