I’ve said it before a few times, but I absolutely love cookies, and Costco’s bakery makes some great ones! I also really enjoy desserts based on confetti cake (also known as funfetti cake, sprinkle cake or birthday cake). The flavors are simple, but super addictive when done well. Thus, I was very excited when I saw these Kirkland Signature Confetti Cookies in the bakery section. Did Costco nail these simple, fun-looking cookies the same way they have all their other cookie recipes?
Other cookies from Costco that I like are the Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies, the Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies, the Kirkland Signature Chocolate Lover’s Cookie Pack, the Kirkland Signature Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Kirkland Signature Orange Pecan Cookies.
Location in Store
These cookies are located in the bakery section at Costco, the item number is 1732181 and I bought them at the Kalispell, Montana Costco.
Taste
Basically, they’re birthday cake cookies. The taste is obviously very similar to a confetti cake, though they differ a bit in that they have white chocolate chips. The cookies are a perfect balance of chewy and soft yet crumbly.
The cookies are quite sweet from the white chocolate chips and sprinkles, but not so sweet that it’s offputting. The sprinkles add some crunchy texture as well as sweetness. The main thing about these cookies is that they get the birthday cake/confetti cake flavor right. If you love that taste as much as I do, you’ll love these cookies.
Cost
The 1.44-pound container of cookies costs $9.99 USD, which seems a bit expensive to me for store-bought cookies. It’s not a huge container. Costco does make good cookies though, so I guess they must use quality ingredients.
Convenience
The Costco Confetti Cookies have a best-before date that’s three days from when I purchased them. They come in a plastic resealable container that can be easily thrown in the freezer if you’re not going to eat the cookies by the sell-by date.
I think kids would go crazy for these during the summer! In addition to being tasty, they’re super fun and colorful. If you’re feeling ambitious, I think you could use them to make small ice cream sandwiches!
Nutrition
Calories
One confetti cookie contains 140 calories, six grams of fat, 85 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fibre, 11 grams of sugar and one gram of protein. That’s not horrible for one cookie. The problem is that it’s hard to eat just one!
Ingredients
I like that the first three ingredients are the same three I’d use in cookies at home. There are also a ton of ingredients I wouldn’t put in homemade cookies like natural flavor and soy lecithin, which isn’t ideal.
The cookies contain milk, eggs and soy and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and sesame.

The soy lecithin and natural flavour are part of the white chocolate chips, so you might indeed be adding that if you used white choc. chips.
