FAQ

How is a skillet cookie different from a cookie cake?

Short answer: skillet cookies are baked in a pan and served warm; cookie cakes are larger, flatter celebration cakes.

  • Cooking method: Skillet cookies are usually baked in a cast-iron or oven-safe pan and served right from it, which gives a crisp edge and gooey center.
  • Serving style: Skillet cookies are often portioned by slice or scoop; cookie cakes are iced and cut like a sheet cake.
  • When to choose: Pick a skillet cookie for a shareable, warm dessert and a cookie cake for parties that need decorated servings.

Check product descriptions and bakery options on the site for availability and pickup or delivery.

What skillet size works best for baking cookies?

Choosing skillet size depends on how many people you’re serving and the texture you want. Common choices:

  • 8-inch skillet: Makes a thicker, more gooey single- to small-group dessert.
  • 10–12-inch skillet: Better for sharing and yields thinner, more evenly baked pieces.
  • Material and oven safety: Cast iron retains heat well; make sure the skillet is oven-safe and fits your oven.

When shopping, review product details for diameter, oven temperature limits, and handle protection. Use Pickup & Delivery or in-store pickup to get a skillet quickly.

What ingredients do lactation cookies usually include?

Products marketed as lactation cookies tend to include pantry staples plus a few add-ins commonly associated with breastfeeding support. Typical ingredients you’ll see are:

  • Rolled oats or oat flour
  • Brewer’s yeast
  • Ground flaxseed
  • Nuts or nut butter and sweeteners

These ingredients are often listed for texture and flavor as well as traditional uses. If you’re considering these products for breastfeeding concerns, note that individual responses vary and you should consult a healthcare professional or lactation consultant for personalized guidance. View product labels and nutrition facts on Walmart’s product pages before buying.

How can I keep store-bought cookies soft longer?

To preserve softness after purchase, try these practical steps:

  • Store airtight: Place cookies in an airtight container or sealed bag to limit exposure to air.
  • Add moisture regulator: A small piece of bread in the container can help maintain softness for a day or two.
  • Fridge vs. pantry: Refrigeration can extend shelf life but may change texture—reheat briefly to restore softness.
  • Long-term storage: Freeze cookies wrapped tightly; thaw at room temperature and warm gently if desired.

If a packaged cookie seems stale on arrival, check the product page for return or replacement options through Walmart customer service.

Can I use peanut butter powder in oatmeal cookie recipes?

Yes — peanut butter powder can be used to add peanut flavor, but it behaves differently than regular peanut butter:

  • Texture: Powder has less fat, so cookies may be drier or less rich unless you add liquid or a little extra fat.
  • Flavor: It gives a concentrated peanut taste; you might mix it with a bit of water or oil to mimic the mouthfeel of regular peanut butter.
  • Recipe adjustments: Start by substituting part of the nut ingredient and adjust wet ingredients as needed. Test a small batch first to dial in texture.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying vs. baking your own cookies?

Buying cookies instead of making them definitely saves you time, and if you don't plan to make multiple batches, it can also save you money because you'll typically buy ingredients in bulk. If you're not a great cook or don't have an oven large enough to handle a batch of cookies, buying is also an advantage. As for the disadvantages of buying, when you bake your own cookies, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use less sugar if you need to or add more nuts or chocolate chips if they're your favorites. As for flavor, well, that's all up to what you like the best.

What are some fun ways to incorporate cookies into a child's birthday party?

Cookies are a must-have for your child's next birthday party. You can serve them as snacks, of course, or you can make or buy sugar cookies and have the kids decorate them for a fun activity. You can crumble various cookies up and use them for toppings for ice cream or set up an ice cream bar. You can also use cookie pieces to top cakes and cupcakes. Or, if you really love cookies, you may want to buy or bake a cookie cake for your child's party.

Can you buy healthy cookies?

Whether or not you can buy healthy cookies all depends on what you mean by "healthy." There are cookies available that have low or no added sugar. There are gluten-free cookies, and cookies made with alternatives to white flour, like almond and coconut flours. You can also buy cookies made with extra protein or natural ingredients. So, for some people, these varieties may offer some health benefits.
