Cookie Dough Production
Premier Forrester builds cookie dough lines that protect quality at speed.
Cookie dough turns up in many formats, from ready-to-bake pucks and inclusions for ice cream to edible tubs for retail.
For manufacturers, the task is to deliver safe dough with a consistent bite and clean handling, then run it at speed without increasing giveaway.
At Premier Forrester, we design dough lines that do exactly that, matching your formats, throughput, and hygiene standards.
Cookie dough production process
Cookie dough production depends on controlled mixing, careful inclusion handling, and accurate forming. A typical cookie dough production line includes:
- Mixing. Flour, fats, sugars, and liquids are blended to target consistency. Too little energy and inclusions sink; too much and the dough becomes sticky or tough.
- Inclusion feeding. Chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit pieces are added with low-shear systems to protect shape and distribution.
- Forming. Portioning depends on application: wire cutters for classic cookies, extrusion for pucks, or sheeting and cutting for bars and chunks.
- Stabilisation. A controlled freeze or chilled hold protects texture and shape during storage and transport.
- Packing. Units are packed into tubs, pouches, flow wrap, or bulk cartons.
Each step directly affects yield, texture, and food safety, making equipment selection and integration critical.

Cookie dough production - need to know
- Likely bottlenecks. Forming speed and inclusion distribution often set the pace; poor feed can cause weight drift or rejects.
- Product variations. Ready-to-bake pucks, edible tubs, and inclusions for ice cream each require different forming and stabilisation approaches.
- Batch size effects. Small runs benefit from flexible wire cutters and depositors, while high volumes suit continuous extrusion or sheeting.
- Hygiene and changeovers. Raw flour, dairy, and allergens demand validated cleaning and strict handling design.
- Sustainability levers. Efficient mixers and freezers reduce energy load, while precise portioning cuts dough waste.
