Costco’s New Cookies Taste Like a Nostalgic Treat

Costco’s bakery department always seems to be working on new ideas behind the scenes — and the results are delicious news for everyone.

A new baked good has been spotted in Costco stores, and this unexpected mix of two nostalgic sweet treats has already gone viral on social media. If you love Rice Krispies Treats and gooey cookiesthe bulk store’s new bakery creation — which combines the two into a tasty new treat — is enough reason to make an impromptu grocery trip.

This isn’t the first time Costco has surprised shoppers with a new bakery item, and fans particularly love the store’s cookies. From classic chocolate chunk (which some people even stock up on in bulk) to seasonal favorites like s’mores-flavored cookiesCostco’s baked goods are consistently a hit with shoppers.

The newest addition to the Costco cookie lineup has the internet going wild, with shoppers rushing to stores to grab a box of the Kirkland Signature Marshmallow Crispy Cookies. Made with brown butter dough, crispy rice cereal, and melted marshmallow pieces, these treats have quickly taken over social media, so be sure to try them before they’re all gone.

Why Costco customers love the new Marshmallow Crispy Cookies

As evident in video reviews that depict customers break the cookies in half, these new snacks are chewy all the way through, probably due to the added stickiness of the marshmallows mixed in. At the same time, shoppers mention that they are slightly crispy around the edges, capturing the best of both worlds.

One customer observes, “They taste like sugar cookies that are both chewy from the marshmallows and crispy from, well, duh, the Rice Krispies,” creating a delicious treat for those who enjoy a mixture of different textures in their dessert.

Los Angeles-based recipe developer and food creator known as @eatswithtwan reviewed the cookies in a recent clipsaying, “If you love soft, chewy cookies with gooey marshmallow centers, this is the cookie for you.” He loves the cookie after just one bite and calls it “a winner,” but the creator also suggests microwaving the treat for 30 seconds.

Some regular shoppers at the superstore have pointed out that the new offering closely resembles Costco’s seasonal s’mores cookies, though they lack the chocolate. So if you’ve been hoping for these campfire-inspired bites to return to your local store, the new Marshmallow Crispy Cookies might be a great alternative while you wait.

How to get a box of the new Costco cookies

Most customers who have shared online reports say that a 24-count box of Kirkland Signature Marshmallow Crispy Cookies costs $9.99. However, the exact price can vary slightly depending on location — for example, at my nearest Costco in New York, the cookies are $11.34 per box.

Regardless, either price option means you’ll be paying less than 50 cents per cookie, which sounds like an excellent deal to us. This also means you can stock up and freeze some of the treats, because Costco hasn’t clarified yet if they’ll be around permanently.
