May 22, 2025 — Costco is once again tapping into childhood nostalgia with the return of a beloved freezer aisle favorite: Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chunk Frozen Cookie Dough.
Spotted by popular Instagram account @costcobuys, the six-pound box of cookie dough is bringing back warm memories for shoppers who grew up with the brand’s iconic cafeteria cookies. For $18.49, members can bring home enough dough to bake about 72 chocolate chunk cookies, or fewer if you prefer larger, bakery-style portions.
Otis Spunkmeyer has long been a staple in school lunches, bake sales, and fundraisers. Now, the same gooey, chocolate-loaded cookies that once rounded out your tray in middle school can be made fresh at home with minimal effort.
“They are awesome! I make them at Christmas time and mix them with homemade cookies—no one knows they aren’t mine,” one commenter shared on social media. Another wrote, “I can smell this post… smells like middle school.”
Preparing the cookies is simple: preheat your oven to 350°F, place each dough piece two inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake for 14 to 17 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool for about 20 minutes before enjoying.
With convenience and nostalgia on its side, the bulk cookie box is already creating buzz among Costco shoppers. However, fans warn that these cookies are dangerously easy to eat. “THERE GOES MY DIET,” one user joked.
Whether you’re reliving cafeteria memories or stocking up for a bake sale of your own, Otis Spunkmeyer’s frozen cookie dough is ready to take up residence in your freezer—if you can find the space.
