I was in the store today and noticed an end of aisle sale on Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookies. All of the cookies have a peanut warning on them BUT the Mini Bites Chocolate Chip cookies.
I called Pillsbury and the customer service rep stated that it would be labeled for peanuts or cross contamination if it contained peanuts or was cross contaminated. She said these cookies are safe because they are run on a different line because they are mini.
For some reason I am still nervous about giving my PA son these cookies.
Has anyone else used them?? I always bake my own cookies, but I thought this would be an easy alternative if they are safe.
No longer a member.
I was in the grocery store today also and had a quick look at the Pillsbury Halloween ready to bake cookies. There are alot of the sugar cookies that have pumpkin faces etc with no warning about peanuts. All the others I looked at e.g. choc chips, had peanut warnings (some use walnut flour and peanut flour - that makes me so mad but thats another story). I usually trust the labeling on the Pillsbury things (General Mills ?) but have never used any of their cookie dough. I cant be bothered calling them because I know I'll get the answer we've all heard a million times. So does it just come down to comfort level again ?
Anyone used the Halloween sugar cookie dough yet ?
I just bought the pilsbury ones and I've used them in the past. I trust them.
I trust GM labeling, and with as many GM/Pillsbury/Betty Crocker items as we use, we've never, ever had a problem. I just made some of these mini-chocolate chip cookies for PA DS to take in his lunch. I do steer clear of anything that indicates a possibility of containing peanuts or tree nuts.
Hello,
I use the Pillsbury cookies with the ghost and pumpkin shapes. We trust Pillsbury products for good labeling. We always use the cutout seasonal sugar cookies. The other seasonal cookies with the applique type frosting you place on the cookie is labled may contains. We bake the cut out ones about twice a week. Love them!! They are the only refrigerated ones we trust.

We have used these cookies in the past and my daughter ate the Halloween ones that you cut out yourself already this month. I feel the product is safe and most importantly, my daughter 6+ to peanuts was happy and no reactions!

I would trust your instincts and just not give them to your child. There are other cookies he can eat, and you say you bake your own anyway.
