Shelf Stable Cookie Dough

What do you do with cookie dough orders that aren't picked up on the day of delivery, and you don't have access to refrigerated storage? Your solution is shelf-stable cookie dough. It can be stored for up to 21 days at 72° F or below.

• Question: Is it true that your cookie dough can be left out at room temperature for up to 21 days?
• Answer: Yes. Our cookie dough has been tested and approved for shelf stability by Eurofins, the world's largest and most respected food and pharmaceutical testing company. Eurofins employs over 15,000 technicians throughout 190 laboratories in 37 countries. The credibility of our testing process is second to none.
• Question: How is it possible for the cookie dough to safely remain unrefrigerated for up to 21 days?
• Answer: The key is water activity. Our cookie dough formulation “binds” available water, thereby greatly reducing the water activity, which, more simply put, means little to no room for bacteria to grow.
• Question: Do you add preservatives to your cookie dough?
• Answer: No, we do not add preservatives to our cookie dough. Some of the ingredients that we purchase may contain preservatives. Examples include chocolate products, which almost always contain soy lecithin, and natural egg products, which contain citric acid, to name a couple.
• Question: Do you recommend leaving the product out for extended periods of time?
• Answer: The products are shelf stable for 21 days, can be refrigerated for up to 6 months, or may be kept frozen for up to one year. For best performance, we suggest keeping the product frozen for as long as possible before use. Actually, we think the most fun thing to do is to bake it up right away!
• Question: Is the nutritional analysis similar to other cookie dough brands?
• Answer: Yes, you will find that most of the ingredients used are similar to those of other cookie dough products. However, with so many brands on the market, we can’t speak for everyone. Our nutrition facts and ingredients are all listed on each box/tub and are available online for you to compare.
• Question: What is the advantage of using shelf-stable cookie dough in a fundraising sale?
• Answer: The nature of our product lends itself to the fundraising industry. Parents are busier than ever, and missing a pick-up night will not mean disaster for the items they sold. With Neighbors, sales tend to be higher because sellers can easily redistribute cookie dough without having to keep it frozen at home or when distributing at the workplace. At Neighbors, we are grateful when you participate in the fundraiser. As we say, we’re “Frozen but Friendly!”
