Immaculate Baking cookie dough

I love fresh-baked cookies, but whenever I try to make them from scratch, I ruin them. Not willing to give up on this dream of homemade cookies, I started looking around for pre-made cookie dough with as few artificial ingredients as possible. My search stopped when I discovered Immaculate Baking Co.’s ready-to-bake cookie dough ($3.50-$4; at grocery stores) made with all-natural and organic ingredients. Free of trans-fats, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and artificial flavors and colors, the dough is available in chocolate chunk, triple chocolate, vanilla sugar, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and cranberry oatmeal white chocolate. It comes pre-portioned into 24 pieces, so you can break off and bake just what you want, and the cookies emerge from the oven fragrant and chewy. The ‘just like homemade’ approach carries over to the cookies’ packaging, too: Every variety features colorful images from southern folk artists (Immaculate’s founder Scott Blackwell is an avid collector of folk art and supports the painters through his nonprofit, the Folk Artist’s Foundation).
