Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies: Better Ingredients, Better Cookie?

With a full time job, a full time working husband, and a 3-year-old son, I love the quickness and convenience of refrigerated cookie dough. For an occasional treat, nothing is quicker and tastier that putting some refrigerated cookie dough in the oven for fresh baked cookies. Unfortunately, all of the cookie doughs on the market contain all sorts of nasty ingredients including partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. Enter Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies. Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies promised the same delicious taste and ease of traditional refrigerated cookie dough, without the poor nutrition. Could Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies stack up to the competition? Here is what I found out.

I was immediately impressed by the ingredients list of Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies: no high fructose corn syrup and no partially hydrogenated oils. The ingredients list of Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies also contains wheat flour, brown sugar, semisweet chocolate chips (the real stuff!), palm and canola oils, water, eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. This ingredients list sounds surprisingly like an actual cookbook recipe, which really makes my day. Don't expect for Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies to have less fat or calories than traditional cookies. They are full fat, full calorie cookies, they just contain more natural ingredients any other refrigerated cookie dough I have seen on the market.

Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies come packaged as 12 large cookies per pack. When the cookies were baking they smelled wonderful. At first taste of Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies, the entire family was hooked. Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious! They taste better than the other refrigerated cookie doughs I have tried, and you aren't eating any of the unhealthy ingredients of other varieties.

The one large drawback to Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies is that they are considerably more expensive than other refrigerated chocolate chop cookies. I would have paid almost twice as much for Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies had I not had a coupon to use. So even though Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies will likely be the only refrigerated cookies I purchase in the future, it will be an occasional purchase because of the high price.

Overall Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies are certainly worth a try. If you love the convenience of refrigerated cookies, but hate the unhealthy ingredients, and don't mind spending a little more to get better ingredients, check out Pillsbury Simply Chocolate Chip Cookies.
