Pillsbury Just Brought Back the Cookie I Wait All Year For

Pillsbury is no stranger to innovation. From Funfetti-filled cake baking kits to Flaky Chocolate Rolls, the brand knows its customers well and takes every opportunity to flex its creativity. One reason why fans, myself included, love Pillsbury so much is because of its seasonal products.

Recently, Pillsbury gave us a jumpstart on fall baking with the return of Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls and Spooky Cat Shape Cookies. Now, the Doughboy is bringing back another ready-to-bake cookie that will be a perfect addition to your game day spread.

Pillsbury’s Football-Shaped Cookies Return for Fall 

Just in time for football season, Pillsbury Football Shape Cutout Cookie Dough has returned to stores. Similar to the brand’s basketball-shaped cookies, the football version is shaped just like the game ball. But don’t be fooled by the color, these cookies are not chocolate flavored. Pillsbury’s football cookies have a classic sugar cookie taste.

Each 7.2-ounce package contains 20 cookies, making it ideal for a game day crowd. And at less than $4 per box, it’s budget-friendly, too.

These cookies are an excellent way to add something festive to the dessert table with minimal effort. You can serve up the ready-to-bake cookies as is or turn them into cookie sandwiches with a layer of fluffy homemade frosting featuring your team’s colors.

Pillsbury’s cutout sugar cookies also make an excellent base to load up with no-bake cheesecake filling or top with berries and cream cheese fruit spread for a refreshing fruit pizza.

Another way we love to use them is to make stacked cookies. You begin with your choice of refrigerated cookie dough and flatten it into a thick disc shape. Then, you place a football-shaped cookie dough disc on top. The two will bake up together into an easy, celebration-worthy bite.

And don’t worry if anyone sneaks a taste before baking, because Pillsbury uses edible cookie dough. The cookies are made with pasteurized eggs and heat-treated flour, making it perfectly safe to eat raw.

You can find Pillsbury Football Shape Cutout Cookie Dough in retailers nationwide, but only for a limited time. So, be sure to look for this seasonal treat on your next grocery run.
