We purchased the five most common pre-made cookie doughs available in grocery stores nationwide, and put them to the test.
Pillsbury and Nestle Toll House have two common varieties — a rolled tube of dough, and then pre-cut cubes. We bought one of each.
The pre-cut packages were each $4.99 at our local markets, while the rolls were $3.99. We also decided, after seeing it in three different New York City grocery stores, to buy the Betty Crocker bagged dry mix for $3.79. Having never experimented with bagged cookie dough mix, we figured now was our chance.
Though Betty Crocker's mix requires one stick of butter plus an egg (therefore making it far less "ready made" than our other four types), we figured you might want to see what these bad boys looked like fresh out of the oven, too.
