“C” is for Costco cookies!
The warehouse giant has anotably great bakery, and its cookies can be reason enough to make a trip.
A soft bakery cookie is so much better than a pre-packaged one.

For starters, it tastes fresher.
I was curious to see which Costco cookies were the bestand if any were not worth the calories.
On a recent trip to the store, I loaded up my cart with every Kirkland Signature cookie available.

I tested each cookie, evaluating it on looks and taste to rank them from worst to best.
There was only one not-so-great option in the whole bunch.
Grab your Costco card and a cold glass of milk to see which cookies are worth your hard-earned dough.

There were nuts visible, but mostly, I saw what appeared to be big chunks of white chocolate.
The taste:Biting into this cookie was a big disappointment.

But the 140 calories for such a small cookie put me off.
The taste:While the dough was bland, these cookies were surprisingly good.
They were not overly sweet, and the cranberries added a nice zing of tartness.
I could not taste the white chocolate, but this cookie was decent overall.
I was willing to put my views aside and fairly judge this cookie.
These cookies were part of a variety 3-pack (24-count) priced at $9.99.
The look:This was a big, thick cake-like cookie.
I could see lots of raisins and the color was a perfect oatmeal brown.
The taste:Before I bit in, I could smell cinnamon.
It had a nice amount of spice.
Biting in, the cookie was thick and substantial.
The raisins blended into the batter and didn’t make me want to eat around them.
They were priced at $9.99 for a 60-count.
The look:The color of these cookies was a little drab and dusty looking.
Soft little cookies are still soft little cookies!
Though they are not the most gourmet, these little cookies are delicious.
Plus, you get three of them for 170 calories!
They are exactly what you think of when you want a big chocolate chip cookie.
This cookie knows it’s good-looking, and you probably can’t resist it.
It reminded me a bit of the cookies you get at Subway, but better.
This cookie is popular for a reason, so don’t pass it up.
