You’ve probably had a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream. It’s pure genius, right? I love the vanilla silkiness with crumbly chocolate cookies. It was heaven when Cookies & Creme Twix hit shelves, and I’ve been waiting on Nestle’s highly anticipated Cookies & Cream Kit Kats.
Just like always, Costco has exactly what I need right now. Costco’s bakers have taken cookies and cream to a whole new level with their cookies and cream cupcakes, and we’re here for it!
What’s in This Costco Cupcake?
With Costco’s signature samples looking a little different this year, we could all use the excitement of a brand-new cupcake. Costco’s cookies and cream cupcakes have it all—vanilla cake topped with fluffy cookies and cream mousse and finished with mouthwatering chocolate chip cookies.
That means you’ll get to balance the moist, dense cake with the cool mousse, and then finish dessert with the goodness of a chocolate chip cookie. We’re in heaven just thinking about it! These cupcakes are yet another brainchild of Costco’s famous Kirkland brand. (You know that means they’ve got to be good.)
Where Can I Find the Cupcakes?
You can snag a dozen of Costco cupcakes for just $10.99. These gems were first spotted in Illinois. They’re not listed on the Costco website, but keep an eye out for them when you’re walking through your local Costco bakery—that place is like a treasure chest. You never know what surprises you’ll find!
