When was the last time you made a Costco run? If you’re a fan, chances are it wasn’t too long ago—because let’s be real, Costco isn’t just a store, it’s a lifestyle. With nearly 137 million members worldwide as of 2024, it’s no surprise this wholesale giant has a serious fan base.

But beyond the bulk deals and giant carts, one of the sweetest reasons people flock to Costco is for its iconic bakery—especially its seasonal treats. From mini carrot cakes around Easter to gooey s’mores cookies in the summer and, of course, its iconic pumpkin pie in the fall, Costco knows how to keep our cravings satisfied all year round.

So now that spring is in full swing, we’ve got one question: What’s new in the bakery this season?

Spoiler alert: Costco just dropped a mouthwatering spring dessert, and it’s got bakery fans buzzing. Keep scrolling because we’ve got all the sugary and buttery details below!

What’s the new spring bakery item at Costco?

You might’ve guessed it—but yes, Costco just dropped a sweet new spring treat that’s got cookie lovers taking note: butter sugar cookies with pastel spring sprinkles!

These beauties are as cute as they are delicious—soft, buttery and topped with colorful sprinkles that scream spring. And the best part? You get a box of 24 cookies for just $9.99.

Are the Costco cookies new?

Costco’s new butter sugar cookies with pastel spring sprinkles might be fresh on the shelves—but true fans will recognize this sweet treat from earlier this year.

Back in February, Costco dropped its butter sugar cookies with heart-shaped sprinkles for Valentine’s Day, and they went viral for a reason. They were soft, buttery and perfectly sweet—and just like the spring version, they came in a pack of 24 cookies for only $9.99.

So, if you fell in love with those festive heart cookies a couple of months ago, this spring edition is basically their pastel twin—with a spring vibe.

What are fans saying about the Costco cookies?

Costco’s butter sugar cookies with pastel spring sprinkles have fans raving—and for good reason.

Reddit user Katador calls them “very buttery in texture and not overly sweet,” which sounds like a dream. Another fan, bwaydood7827, says they’re nostalgic, comparing them to the mini sugar cookies from Great American Cookie Company (hello, childhood memories!).

And then there’s Beesknees82, who loves sharing them with their son and says, “They kind of remind me of the confetti Crumbl sugar cookies—that slightly underbaked but soft texture.” Um, yes please!

Even Costco connoisseur Angela Ackerman (aka The Costco Guide) chimed in, saying she’s heard they taste like cake batter. And one commenter may have said it best, calling them “the best store-bought cookies out there.”

So don’t just take our word for it—the cookie hype is real.

How long with the Costco cookies be available?

Costco’s butter sugar cookies with pastel spring sprinkles are officially on shelves nationwide—but only for a limited time. Word is they’ll be around until they sell out (which could be before Easter!), so if you want to snag a box (or three), don’t wait.

And here’s a little scoop: According to one Reddit user (@aveforever), a July 4th version of these cookies might be in the works—think festive red, white and blue sprinkles.

Fingers crossed that that rumor proves to be true, but in the meantime, get yourself a Costco membership and don’t miss out on this spring drop.
