As a nurse, there are a few treats we often indulge in at work. These items include Tim Hortons Timbits, Costco slab cakes and Costco cookies, these are staples in nursing celebrations. If anyone is a nurse in Canada reading this you might relate to this. Today I’m reviewing the Costco Kirkland Signature Chocolate Lovers Cookie Pack.
Taste
The three flavors in the pack are white chocolate macadamia nut, triple chocolate and chocolate chunk. They’re soft and chewy in the middle and slightly crisp on the outer edges. They’re definitely a thinner cookie so if you’re looking for a thick cookie, these are not them. They also taste slightly underdone and are quite soft so if you like your cookies very crisp, look elsewhere. I feel like the ratio of chocolate chunks and nuts to cookie dough is just right, not too much and not too little. My husband and I often split these in half and there are never any arguments about which piece has more chocolate or macadamia nuts.
My favorite is by far the white chocolate macadamia nut, the cookie dough itself is very sweet and soft and there’s white chocolate chunks as well as unsalted macadamia nuts scattered throughout the cookie. I love white chocolate combined with macadamia nuts and feel the two flavors pair perfectly together. The macadamia nuts also add a crunchy texture to the cookie. The chocolate chunk is my second favorite, it’s a sweet cookie dough base with semisweet chocolate chunks throughout the cookie. The triple chocolate doesn’t taste as chocolatey as you would expect. It’s a slightly rich chocolate cookie dough base with chocolate and milk chocolate chunks. The one thing I don’t love about the triple chocolate cookie is there’s a sprinkling of sugar on top. I feel like the sugar on top is unnecessary and overkill. I won’t say these are as good as home-baked cookies but they’re pretty much the next best thing.
Cost
The Costco Kirkland Signature Chocolate Lovers Cookie Pack has 24 cookies in the pack for $7.99 Canadian. This is far cheaper than any bakery cookies you’ll find. I think the quality of these cookies far surpasses other grocery store cookies and have no problem paying $7.99 for 24 large Costco cookies.
Convenience
Making cookies from scratch isn’t the most difficult thing to do but making three different kinds of cookies is definitely not easy. This pack has three different flavors in it which is super convenient because if you’re bringing them to share with others as long as the person likes chocolate they’ll be sure to find a cookie they like out of three flavors. They’re conveniently packaged in a plastic resealable container that divides each flavor of cookie into its own section. These cookies freeze fabulously, I always freeze these in a ziplock bag right after purchasing them and just take out a cookie to defrost when I want.
Nutrition
Do you even want to know? If you must know…here it is. The chocolate macadamia nut cookie is 230 calories, 12 grams of fat and 17 grams of sugar, 170 milligrams of sodium and three grams of protein. The triple chocolate cookie is 220 calories, 10 grams of fat, 20 grams of sugar, 170 milligrams of sodium and two grams of protein. The chocolate chunk cookie is 220 calories, 10 grams of fat, 19 grams of sugar, 180 milligrams of sodium and three grams of protein. These are not marketed as healthy cookies so I believe you should have a cookie and enjoy it!
Scoring
I enjoy all three flavors in the Costco Kirkland Signature Chocolate Lover’s Cookie Pack so I definitely recommend them. I’ve witnessed a TON of colleagues enjoy these throughout my nursing career at potlucks and celebrations and my husband and I regularly keep these in our freezer and pull them out for a quick, convenient, sweet treat.

We're not sure why Costco decided to gift us with two extra cookies but we certainly aren't complaining about it. The assorted Holiday Cookie Tray is only $13.99, making it convenient, festive and totally affordable.
Overall, I think you should head to Costco's bakery section for chocolate-chip cookies. As a professional baker who makes chocolate-chip cookies daily, I felt Costco's cookie came the closest to tasting homemade. The soft texture, vanilla-forward flavor, and ample dark-chocolate chunks set it apart from the others.

The best part about this cookie tray is that it has five varieties, so you'll satisfy every palate at the party. Each 70-count platter includes lemon shortbread cookies with green sugar, cookies with red and green chocolate chunks, date nut bisconie, wedding cookies, and chocolate crinkle cookies with powdered sugar.
Costco cookies are not just good, they are exceptional. In fact, these baked goods were voted the best grocery store cookies, according to Mashed. The cookies are undoubtedly a good deal, especially in the quantities in which they come.
Because a "batch" is the amount a recipe makes at one time. The average number of cookies in a batch can range from 24-36 (based on some light research I did into the cookbooks I happen to have on my shelves), but that's just an average, so some recipes will make more than 36 and others will make fewer than 24.
Bakery or homemade cookies can be stored at room temperature two to three weeks or two months in the refrigerator. Cookies retain their quality when stored in the freezer for eight to 12 months. Moist bars, such as cheesecake and lemon bars, can be refrigerated for seven days.
We will hazard a guess, though, and say that you should plan on three or four good-sized cookies per person. Even if you end up with too many that is better than running out! And people can always take some home. Readers — how do you budget cookies and sweets for your holiday parties?
Chilling your dough, letting your baking sheets cool down in between batches, and preheating your oven can slow you down. Another complication is that for the best results it's important to only bake one batch at a time (via Sally's Baking Addiction). That means only one tray of cookies on the center rack.
The Costco Leclerc Celebration Milk Chocolate Butter Cookies come with 60 cookies in the box and I paid $8.99 Canadian. There's 30 packs of two cookies in the box.
You can buy Boxes of Uncooked Cookies and Pastries From Costco! That means, you can get that Costco taste, in bulk and have them stored away for any time you want to whip up a quick batch of goodies!! Awww yeah! Costco cookie dough to the rescue!
So if you want Costco cookies, you're going to have to buy them baked — $7.99 for 21 cookies. NOTE: You can't order Costco bakery items online. However, you can order a very limited selection from Instacart for delivery.
Like their name, they are indeed delicious right down to the very last crumb. The latest Last Crumb drop is the Platinum Collection that's available for $160 per box.
Otherwise known as the “world's most expensive cookie,” going for $1,000 when it was released in 2019 by Sofia Demetriou, the owner of duch*ess Cookies in New York City.
Cookies Made By Home Bakers Often Cost More Than Store-Bought Ones. So we've figured out that in terms of tangible costs, it is indeed cheaper to bake your own cookies instead of purchasing them from stores. Then why is it that cookies baked by home bakers are similarly priced, if not higher than bakeries?
In short, you should plan to charge between $2 and $6.50 per cookie, or between $8 and $15 per dozen if you choose to sell your cookies in bulk. When setting your pricing, you should consider the cost of both the ingredients and baking equipment, as well as your time, and complexity of the cookie.
The best part about this cookie tray is that it has five varieties, so you'll satisfy every palate at the party. Each 70-count platter includes lemon shortbread cookies with green sugar, cookies with red and green chocolate chunks, date nut bisconie, wedding cookies, and chocolate crinkle cookies with powdered sugar.
