The winner is also the cheapest.
I was so very wrong.
The overall winner surprised us all.

Pour yourself a glass of milk and start preheating your ovenhere are our favorite store-bought chocolate chip cookie doughs.
I baked the cookies following the instructions on the packaging.
The testers included five adults and three children.

I wouldn’t recommend baking these cookies for longer than recommended on the packaging.
The testers agreed that the dough had a distinct fruity, almost artificial flavor, which docked points.
However, if you grew up eating Toll House cookies, this flavor will feel nostalgic to you.

“These look like your homemade cookies!”
my husband said, which I took as a compliment because they did look gorgeous.
“I don’t think I could get over how fake the vanilla smells,” one tester said.

I agree with the latter and would never turn away this cookie.
All of the testers reacted in unison after trying Kroger’s private-label cookies.
This one really surprised us all.

It’s not a lookerit’s the thinnest and smallest of the cookies we tasted.
However, it delivered on flavor and texture.
you’ve got the option to smell and taste a pleasant nuttiness.
The edges were chewy, while the center was gooey thanks to the generous amount of chocolate chips.
And at $3.19 for 24 cookies, these were the most affordable ones we tried.
