Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough
Aunty Kath’s have been quietly building out a solid range of vegan-friendly cookie dough options recently, which is great to see in Australian supermarkets and those looking for a sneaky accidentally vegan treat. Alongside their Peanut Butter and ANZAC Biscuit cookie doughs (both vegan), they’ve released this fun, colourful option - Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough.
You’ll find it in the fridge dessert section at Coles and IGA, priced at $7.50 per log.
Baking & Preparation
This cookie dough log is very easy to work with, making it a convenient option if you want a quick bake without starting from scratch.
According to the pack, the log makes 15 decent-sized cookies, though you could easily stretch it further if you prefer smaller, bite-sized cookies, especially for kids’ lunchboxes or parties.
Making cookies out of the cookie dough log is easy enough. Simply use a knife, slice equal sized portions and then roll into desired sized balls.
Bake times tested:
10 minutes at 160°C → soft, gooey cookies
15 minutes at 160°C → firmer, crunchier cookies
I tried both methods to see how the flavour and texture changed.
Taste Test – Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough
Here’s my honest breakdown after baking both soft and crunchy versions of the Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough:
Flavour:
There are plenty of 100s & 1000s throughout, which is a definite win. They’re well distributed and add colour and sweetness to each bite.
However, the overall cookie flavour is quite oily, and unfortunately, that oiliness tends to overpower the sweetness and vanilla notes you’d expect from a classic 100s & 1000s cookie.
Texture:
The texture itself works well, with soft cookies at 10 minutes and crunchy at 15 minutes. However, the oily mouthfeel remained noticeable in both versions.
Consistency:
Even with the longer bake time, the oiliness didn’t bake out, which impacted the overall enjoyment.
Value & Price
At $7.50 per log, you’re paying for convenience and novelty rather than value. While it does make up to 15 cookies, the flavour profile may not justify the price for everyone, especially if you regularly bake your own cookies at home.

When you compare Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough to homemade vegan cookies, the biggest difference comes down to flavour control and value. The store-bought dough wins on convenience since there’s no measuring, no mixing, and minimal clean up, which makes it appealing for busy families.
However, homemade cookies allow you to control the ingredients, sweetness, and overall flavour balance, which is especially noticeable here given the oily finish of the cookie dough from Aunty Kath’s. From a cost perspective, baking at home usually works out much cheaper per batch and lets you tweak texture and size to suit your preferences. For a quick, no-effort bake, Aunty Kath’s fill a hole, but honestly, you’d get better results from my own rainbow cookies recipe which has minimal ingredients and isn’t complicated at all - especially for those new to vegan baking.
Final Thoughts
The Aunty Kath’s 100s & 1000s Cookie Dough is a fun concept and a welcome vegan option in the chilled dessert section, especially when you’re looking for a fun 100s & 1000s cookie recipe. It’s easy to prepare, visually appealing, and great in theory, especially for parties or baking with kids.
That said, the oily flavour holds it back, and even after testing both soft and crunchy bake times, it remained noticeable. If you’re after convenience and novelty, it’s worth trying once, but if flavour is your top priority, a homemade option may still win out.
