There are four core flavors to choose from, but we’re particularly fond of Cookie Monsta (cookies and cream) and Ride or Die (chocolate chip).

Best of all, Doughp donates a percentage of all sales to SHE RECOVERS Foundation, which supports women in or seeking addiction recovery.

Best Edible Cookie Dough Bites

Warning: Pillsbury’s Cookie Dough Poppins are dangerously snackable, and it’s doubtful a bag will last you more than one sitting. The ingredients don’t include butter or egg, but you’ll still need to refrigerate them due to the dairy—if they even make it to your fridge, that is. The Chocolate Chip variety is our go-to, but if you prefer sugar cookies, opt for the Birthday Cake flavor instead.

Best for Ice Cream

Dilemma: Store-bought cookie dough ice cream never has enough cookie dough for your taste. Solution: Ben & Jerry’s frozen snackable cookie dough chunks. That’s right—you’ll never have to dig to the bottom of the pint with your fingers crossed again with this handy topper in your arsenal. This Fair Trade, non-GMO invention is perfect for sprinkling atop a sundae, baking into brownies or even stirring into pancake batter.
