Bennett St Dairy has joined forces with Darrell Lea to launch an epic limited-edition cookie dough

Bondi café Bennet St Dairy has teamed up with Aussie confectionery brand Darrell Lea to launch a limited edition cookie dough flavour for Valentine’s Day.

The popular eatery is known for its iconic cookie dough that spiked in popularity during the Covid 2020 lockdown when the café started delivering the product to customers stuck at home.

The latest offering, priced at just $13, features Bennett St Dairy’s famous cookie dough mixed with chunks of Darrell Lea’s White Chocolate Raspberry Bullets block for the ultimate treat.

The new product from the two beloved brands provides a flavour sensation of sweetness, crunch and chewiness.

The 500g chunks of pre-packed cookie dough are available at selected IGA stores in New South Wales and Victoria or online via the Bennett St Dairy website (for Sydney customers only). 

The pre-packaged cookie dough allows customers to decide for themselves how big or small they’d like their cookies to be – with some opting to make one large cookie, eight smaller cookies or multiple tiny cookies 

Bennett St Dairy co-founder, James Meek, said: ‘We jumped at the opportunity to partner with an iconic Australian brand such as Darrell Lea. Their delicious, high-quality confectionery is a perfect fit for our cookie dough.

‘While Valentine’s Day looks a bit different this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation and the fact many people will be isolating, we think staying in and baking our new limited-edition flavour is an intimate way to mark the occasion.

‘Whether you’re spending it with loved ones at home or are single and in need of some self-care and self-indulgence, our Valentine’s Day cookie dough is a heart-warming treat.’ 

The pre-packaged cookie dough allows customers to decide for themselves how big or small they’d like their cookies to be – with some opting to make one large cookie, eight smaller cookies or multiple tiny cookies.

It comes with easy-to-follow cooking instructions and will take no longer than 15 minutes to bake in the oven.

The cookie dough can also be stored for up to two weeks in the fridge or three months in the freezer.

Darrell Lea made its first foray into white chocolate blocks last year with the release of their White Chocolate Raspberry Bullets Block.

Johanna Campbell, General Manager, Marketing at Darrell Lea said: ‘We love celebrating special occasions with Australians throughout the year and delighting consumers with new and delicious recipes and flavours.

‘We are delighted to collaborate with Bennett St Dairy this Valentine’s Day to offer treat- lovers a delicious combination of gooey homemade Bennett St Dairy cookie dough and our palm oil free and sustainably sourced White Chocolate Raspberry Bullets block.’   

Last September Bennet St Dairy launched the cookie dough in Woolworths stores and sold out of stock in only one day 

James Meek, 38, previously told Daily Mail Australia he received the ‘unexpected’ call from Woolworths earlier this year to discuss a possible partnership trial 

Last September Bennet St Dairy launched the chocolate chip and white chocolate macadamia cookie dough flavours in Woolworths stores, which sold out of stock in only one day.   

James previously told Daily Mail Australia he received the ‘unexpected’ call from Woolworths to discuss a possible partnership trial.

‘We were surprised from the response because we’re not a huge marketing machine, simply a small business,’ James said. 

He said the interest likely sparked after the café started stocking the 500g packs of cookie dough in smaller retailers – including Romeo’s IGA.  

Customers can choose from the original cookie dough or white chocolate and macadamia cookie dough for $13 for 500g
