"We wanted to create a cookie dough that captured everything people love about homemade cookies fresh from the oven – the rich aroma, a warm gooey center and melty chocolate chips – but in a way that felt effortless," said David Dulyx, vice president of licensing and professional products division for Ghirardelli. "Whether it's for a late-night cookie craving or a 'just because' dessert moment, our cookie dough has the signature chocolate flavor people know and love from Ghirardelli in every bite."

Packaged in easy-to-place-and-bake rounds, the dough transforms into warm, irresistible treats in minutes. Whether baked in the oven or air fryer, the dough delivers homemade-style cookies in no time – no measuring or whisking needed.

Joining the Ghirardelli baking lineup to give consumers yet another delicious reason to turn on the oven this summer, the new cookie dough is now available nationwide starting at $4.97 at Walmart and Giant Eagle, and will be available at Target, Publix, the Kroger Family of Stores, and other participating retailers later this season.
