7 Cookie Brands That Actually Use Real Butter

These cookie brands use real butter for a rich, authentic taste shoppers love.

Homemade cookies baked with real butter are some of the most delicious treats you can enjoy—real butter lends a taste and consistency to cakes and cookies which oils and additives can never recreate. While supermarket cookies are often packed with not-great-for-you ingredients, certain brands use butter in some if not all their offerings. For times when you want to stock up on something special, there are plenty of options available: Here are seven cookie brands that proudly use real, fresh butter in their delicious treats.

We love that they are made with the finest ingredients and use butter for the oil!!” one happy customer wrote in the reviews. “I am not a cookie eater unless they are homemade. Tried both the choc chip and double choc to appease my daughter. Now I can’t stop eating them,” another agreed.

Salerno Cookies are also made with fresh butter, and fans are obsessed. “These are the best butter cookies ever. Been eating them all my life and just know that everything about them is most excellent. You won’t find a better butter cookie that actually tastes like butter,” one Amazon shopper raved.

Walker’s Shortbread

Target

Walker’s Shortbread Cookies are made with real butter and taste as good as homemade, fans say. “These cookies were so delicious. There was no extra sugar dust on top the way other walkers cookies have. I love to pair these with a semi sweet hot coffee. These Walkers cookies were delivered in great condition and were fresh too! The cookies are convienient for portion control and for on the go snacks. Very buttery and a tiny bit salty (very very minimal). Will always recommend!” one Target shopper said.

Bahlsen Leibniz Butter Cookies

Bahlsen

Bahlsen Leibniz Butter Cookies are a personal childhood favorite, and, of course, made with real butter! “Really fresh with great buttery taste,” one Amazon shopper said. “Outstanding freshness and quality.
