When Did the Cookie Dough Craze Start?
Cookies have been around since the 7th century A.D. but edible cookie dough became popular much, much more recently. In 1984, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream shop, brand new at the time, mixed unbaked cookie dough into vanilla ice cream based on an anonymous suggestion from a patron. The flavor became incredibly popular and it quickly spread to other ice cream shops across the country.
It’s hard to say exactly when cookie dough made the jump from ice cream mix-in to dessert in its own right, sometime in the mid to late 2010s. Suffice to say, these days you can find everything from cookie dough dip, to an ice cream parlor-style shop serving scoops of cookie dough in NYC. Experts agree, the popularity of cookie dough is mostly nostalgia, who didn’t sneak a taste from the bowl growing up.
