The Problem with Most Retail Cookie Dough
Walk into any supermarket or browse online, and you’ll find plenty of cookie dough brands. But here’s the catch most of them use palm oil instead of butter. Why? Because palm oil is cheap, extends shelf life, and is easy to mass-produce. But at what cost?
Palm oil-based cookie dough lacks the richness and depth of flavour that only real butter provides. It often leaves a slightly greasy mouthfeel and doesn’t bake up with the same golden, crisp-edged, chewy-centred perfection that a proper cookie should have.
Why We Use Only Butter (And Why You Can Taste the Difference)
At Brownie Heaven, we believe in flavour first. That’s why our all-butter cookie dough is made the way cookie dough should be, rich, indulgent, and packed with real ingredients. Here’s why butter makes all the difference:
✔ Flavour: Butter has a natural depth that enhances vanilla, chocolate, and any other mix-ins. Palm oil? Not so much.
✔ Texture: Butter gives cookies that perfect crisp edge and chewy middle when baked.
✔ Natural Ingredients: No need for artificial stabilisers to make up for missing flavour.
✔ No Greasy Aftertaste: Unlike palm oil, butter melts cleanly in your mouth, delivering pure indulgence.
The Market Gap: All-Butter Cookie Dough for True Indulgence
Most store-bought cookie dough is formulated for cost efficiency, not quality. That means artificial flavours, stabilisers, and low-cost fats like palm oil. We saw a gap in the market for a truly premium, all-butter cookie dough—one made for people who care about what they eat, whether they’re scooping it raw or baking it to golden perfection.
Ready-to-Eat or Bake? We’ve Got Both
We know some people love to eat cookie dough straight from the tub, while others want to bake gooey, golden cookies. That’s why ours can be baked or eaten straight from the tub. We use Heat Treated Cotswold Flour to ensure it tastes great from the tub and there is no egg so it's safe to eat raw.
The Bottom Line
If you’ve ever had a homemade cookie, you know the magic that butter brings. That’s why we refuse to compromise—all butter, all flavour, all indulgence. Whether you’re baking or sneaking spoonfuls straight from the tub, our cookie dough is made for true dessert lovers.
