Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies

Have you tried the Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies? Me either! Let me explain....I belong to Pssst with General Mills and once in a while I get coupons to try their new products. Well this week I received a coupon for a free package of Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies so out I went to buy them. When I got home I asked my 13 year old son to make them. So he turned on the oven, opened the package, set the cookies on a cookie sheet, baked them and out came fresh cookies. The fresh smell of peanut butter cookies drew in dear hubby and rest of the family. The next morning I thought I would enjoy one with my coffee! Not!!

Rumor is though that they are really good!! And filled with simple, wholesome ingredients that everyone can understand like... flour, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla, 0g trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives.


I think they are on the expensive side for just 12 cookies in a package, suggested retail price is $3.49. Although using a coupon always helps and right now Pillsbury is offering $1.00 off each package. That's only $2.49 a package or around 21¢ per cookie. You can find chocolate chip and peanut butter simply…™ cookies in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. For more information, recipes and other cookie ideas, visit www.pillsbury.com.
