We're not sure there's anything better than a freshly-baked cookie. And while you may have your Mom's recipe for the best ever chocolate chip cookies committed to memory, sometimes you just don't have the time to make them from scratch. That's why we've gathered the best cookie dough brands, so that even when you're in a pinch, all you need to do is preheat the oven and set a timer for ooey, gooey straight-out-of-the-oven cookies.
From the best refrigerated sugar cookie dough to a batter that dishes up a seriously delicious vegan chocolate chip cookie, we've collected our faves to satisfy your cookie craving. We tried dozens of sweet treats (it's a hard job, we know...) to bring you the ultimate ready-to-bake cookie dough brands. We even threw some in that you can eat raw, because sometimes you can't even wait for your oven to come up to temp. Grab a spoon and dive in to these delicious recs.
Simply slice and bake for the perfect canvas to let your icing skills show.
