Pillsbury Debuts First-Ever Soccer Shape Sugar Cookies for World Cup

Pillsbury teamed up with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to release its first-ever Soccer Shape Sugar Cookies ahead of the World Cup.

Pillsbury has teamed up with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to release a unique treat for the first time, as you can now get the company's first-ever Soccer Shape Sugar Cookies. The partnership is two-fold: the first is the cookies, as it is shocking to us that they have never made this sports shape during the entire time they've run these limited runs of sports-themed cookies. Aside from the design, which they clearly chose to do this time around to get people to make cookies for World Cup viewing parties, these are the sugar cookies you have known for years from the company.

Pillsbury and the U.S. Soccer Foundation Partner For Cookies and Practice Spaces

The second part of this is the USSF connection, as the organization announced it has partnered with the company to make two new mini‑pitches in Houston and San Antonio, Texas. The goal was to take unused spaces and make them safe practice areas for youth soccer players to learn the game in under-resourced neighborhoods, with ADA-accessible features included. We have more details about the cookies below as they are hitting store shelves this month.

From Pillsbury:
