DELICIOUS, FUN & E-Z COOKIE DOUGH RECIPES & LOCATIONS

I’ve received numerous emails and calls about our cookie dough.  I love our cookie dough – it’s SO easy to use – no mess, mixing, just scoop and bake . . . . OR roll it out, make cookie cutter cookies (my favorite!), bake and decorate.  Nothing compares to making your own cookies right at home, eating warm cookies right out of the oven!  It’s fun and it’s easy!  It’s a great family activity, great for birthday parties, school events and more.   Here are a few ideas you can use to make your own cookies and treats at home with our 3 flavors of cookie dough.

Sensational Sugar -  make sugar cookies and holiday cookies, and/or as a base for many different types of cookies including snickerdoodles, thumbprint cookies, sandwich cookies, and cut out cookies.  Our customers love it because it’s not too sweet.  Create your own special cookies with this very versatile cookie dough!

Chewy Chocolate Chip – packed with dark chocolate chips this dough makes super delicious chocolate chip cookies and is a favorite among our customers.    So yummy – whether you make your cookies tiny, small, medium or large they will be a hit!  During the summer we like to make chocolate chip cookies and fill them with ice cream (or ice dream) for a special ice cream treat.  It’s fun, easy, yummy and another great activity to do with your friends and family!

Chocolate Brownie – this is our newest cookie dough.  You can use it to make chocolate cookies.  You can add chocolate or vanilla chips or another type of candy for a special surprise cookie.  Make these cookies and fill with ice cream for a really special ice cream sandwich treat!  Want brownies?  Just spread in a pan and bake and voila!  Cut the brownies, add ice cream and have a brownie ice cream sundae treat.  Yummy!

I’ve been asked how many cookies you can make with one tub of cookie dough.  It depends on the size of your cookie.  We can bake 40 bite-sized cookies out of one tub (check our website for a picture of these if you’ve never had one ).  We’ve made over 100 tiny cookies and more than 90 small cookie stars and heart cookies with one tub.

You can also make wonderful cookie cakes with one tub of cookie dough.  Just roll the dough out into a cake pan that you’ve sprayed with cooking spray.  Use a spatula to even out the dough and bake – and you’ve got yourself a delicious cookie cake!

You’ve been asking where you can purchase the cookie dough.  There are 5 stores in Connecticut that carry the cookie dough year round.  All of them have the dough in their freezer section, sometimes in the frozen gluten-free freezer, sometimes with the ice cream.  If you don’t see it, please ask someone in the store to help you find it.

  • New Morning Natural Market in Woodbury
  • Shoprite of Enfield
  • Wishing Well in Sandy Hook
  • Nature’s Temptations in Ridgefield
  • Whole Foods in Darien

Some Whole Foods in the Northeast carry the cookie dough year round.  Others carry the dough during the holidays.  It depends on their freezer space, gluten-free customer base and how quickly the dough sells.  This includes: Tribeca & Union Square in NYC;  White Plains, NY;  Darien, CT; Edgewater & Paramus, NJ; Portland, Maine;  Woburn, MA.

If you’d like to see our cookie dough (or other products) in your local store please ask the store manager to order them;  local retailers listen to your requests and want to meet their customer needs.   Please send us an email with the store information so we can contact them too.

You can always order the cookie dough on line.  We ship via fedex ground, which is a one day shipment time in the NY Metro and New England region.  Outside of this region you would need to ship via overnight service, which can be expensive.

We hope you enjoy our recipes and ideas for how you can use our cookie dough to make your own special cookies and treats.  Please check out our recipes in our blog archive and on our website.  Send us your favorite cookie dough recipes and pictures and we will post them on our facebook page!

 

Earth Day Celebration – Free Fun & Food for Kids and Adults

If you live in Connecticut, or the Northeast for that matter, you may have heard of the now famous Earth Day Celebration at New Morning Natural Market in Woodbury, CT which takes place every April at the store’s grounds. Thousands of people from around New England, New York and New Jersey flock to the store, rain or shine, to sample vendors’ products and walk the booths that have information about everything from climate change to composting to natural medecine and a petting zoo. There are raffles for many different gift baskets too. It’s a great, great event, lots of fun for adults and kids.
We vendors who attend give out thousands of samples to the public who get to taste lots of delicious natural and organic foods and treats. This year, in addition to my normal samples, I am going to make cut out cookies for people to see and taste. I want people to know that my cookie dough exists and that it’s sold at New Morning so if they like the cookies they know that they have a choice to buy them premade or make their own.
This year marks the 16th Earth Day Celebration at New Morning. It will take place on April 24 starting at 11:00 and goes until 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. I hope you will come and if you do I hope you will stop by and sample our cookies!
