At the 2024 Winter Fancy Food Show, Whoa Dough shared the newest addition to its product portfolio, Whoa Dough Chocolate Chip and Sugar Cookie Dough, and sampled the ready-to-eat cookie dough at the event. Beyond being egg-free, the recipe is also made without nuts, soy and dairy, offering a safer alternative to conventional raw cookie dough that appeals to all ages and snackers with food allergies and dietary restrictions.
"By introducing our cookie dough, we’re catering to the needs of individuals with gluten intolerance and appealing to a broader audience seeking tasty, versatile, and healthier snacks," says Whoa Dough founder Todd Goldstein, "Whether enjoyed raw or baked, this mouth-watering cookie dough allows snack enthusiasts to enjoy in their preferred way."
This versatile, gluten-free and allergen-friendly cookie dough is useful for snacking as well as baking, in which case a pouch provides enough dough to make nine cookies.
