Cookie Pure Tahitian Vanilla Extract
Cookie Pure Tahitian Vanilla Extract is the perfect flavor addition for vanilla lovers! Intense. Sweet. Floral.
Exotic enough to confound without overpowering. Our favorite way to use Tahitian vanilla extract is in cookie dough, hence the name Cookie Vanilla. Like a secret ingredient that imparts an “I can’t have just one” sensation, this extract makes cookies vanish.
Ken Cook, longtime president of Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, searched for the highest quality vanilla and uncovered R.R. Lochhead’s 100-year family legacy in Paso Robles, California. Cook’s Vanilla represents our drive to produce the finest vanilla extracts. Only ten percent of the world’s vanilla beans are picked when perfectly mature. We harvest the fully vine-ripened beans and cure them ourselves to assure a delicate, intense, beautiful vanilla. Through our cold extraction, we have captured this exotic essence in a bottle.
We use more vanilla beans in our extract than most extracts you buy, providing added strength and richness. Additionally, we go directly to the source to find our vanilla beans. Therefore, we only use the absolute best vanilla for our extract. Cook’s Cookie is a necessity for cookies and to enhance tropical flavors like pineapple and banana, but can be added to almost every dessert to introduce a stand-out secret vanilla flavor.
The exotic vanilla extract that no chef or vanilla lover’s kitchen can be without. Cook’s Cookie Pure Tahitian Vanilla Extract is our premium pure Tahitian vanilla extract blend, made with the world’s best beans. Our Cookie vanilla is our strongest Tahitian vanilla extract blend. At Cook’s, Tahitian vanilla beans are blended with Bourbon beans to create a pleasing yet exotic vanilla flavor. An extract using only Tahitian vanilla beans can be overpowering and unpleasant for most.
Tahitian vanilla is a different plant species from the Bourbon, with less natural vanillin and a distinctive floral and fruity taste that makes it a favorite of pastry chefs. Bold enough to match the strong flavors of pineapple, mango, and banana, this extract pairs beautifully with tropical fruits.
Cookie Pure Tahitian Vanilla Extract can also be used in cocktails to introduce complex and surprising flavors in pina coladas, mojitos, hurricanes, strawberry daiquiris, or any cocktail with a whiskey, rum, or vodka base. Use as bitters with a dropper.
Flavor notes: floral, fruity, exotic, distinctive.

The BEST vanilla ever. I’ve been using Cook’s vanillas for Over a decade. I love their Cookie Vanilla for baked goods, whipped cream, creme brûlée, homemade ice cream, etc. One can make a recipe good with regular vanilla but one can make a recipe out of this world delicious with Cook’s.
Cooksvanilla –
Wow, Emily! Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review! This is why we put so much effort into sourcing, producing, and extracting our vanilla beans -so that you can taste the difference!

This is the one and only vanilla. Others pale in comparison. The floral aroma is intoxicating. You want to dive into the bottle and not come up. I have developed a recipe for some ultra-chocolate treats and I used a different, inexpensive vanilla, thinking that the chocolate would overpower the vanilla. How wrong I was!! Even with an incredible depth of chocolate, the Cookie Vanilla shines through, giving a mellow roundness to them. I’ve learned my lesson: Cookie Vanilla or nothing!

Hello Dee! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and review! We are honored to have you as a loyal customer. Cookie vanilla is indeed our favorite “secret ingredient” to elevate and delight! Try it with tropical fruit preparations, it’s delicious!

I love this vanilla. I bought a larger size for my mom for Valentine’s Day, and she was over the moon!!! It’s the absolute best in baked goods (although I have to admit, I love it in coffee, too!)

This vanilla gives baked goods and hot chocolate (not to mention fudge) a depth not found with other vanillas. This is not my first purchase and it certainly won’t be the last.

I’ve been using Cook’s Cookie Vanilla for years and it’s by far the best product I’ve used in my baking. As wonderful as it is for cookies, it’s also excellent for high-fat content desserts.

I just used my Cookie Vanilla to make whipped cream with, and it was AWESOME!! Best whipped cream I have ever had – 1 pint whipping cream, 1/3 cup sugar, and a tsp. of Cookie Vanilla. You won’t be topping your dessert, it will BE your dessert!! Heavenly :0)

Once upon a time I stumbled on an article that concluded that all vanillas were the same. How wrong they were. I will grant that some vanillas are harsh, some more refined but there is none, NONE with a greater depth and dimension of vanilla flavor than Cookie Vanilla. It is this unusual depth of flavor that makes it my ONLY vanilla choice. From cookies, to marshmallows, to whipping it with cream, to dribbling it into warm milk when I don’t feel well, it is magical. I bought another quart today. If you have never tried it, do so.

I have used Cookie Pure Vanilla Extract for the past several years after discovering it in my local grocery store. I tried it, and my cookies never tasted better. It gives them a slightly richer flavor than other vanilla brands.

This fine Cookie vanilla brings out the flavors in all my cookies, especially butter varieties such as sugar and spritz. Well worth the price!

My most requested Christmas cookie is a Spritz butter cookie. I make 5 to 10 batches a year. A simple recipe with few ingredients, it is really outstanding when I use the best ingredients! I am so happy to find Cook’s Cookie Vanilla on line since it is THE best to use in my recipes. I love to give them as little gifts to others who love to bake. Thanks for making it!

The cookie vanilla is remarkable. I have used my same chocolate chip cookie recipie with mexican vanilla when I am out of the cookie vanilla and we all notice the difference in the flavor. I try hard to keep the cookie vanilla on hand for all my cookies.

I LOVE this vanilla. It is the best I’ve ever used. I use it in every recipe calling for vanilla. I believe it’s exceptional flavor shines through.

I’ve always baked tasty cookies. In fact, my husband claims to have sparked an interest in my cookies before he really noticed me. (sigh) But he’s happier than ever now that I use your Cookie Vanilla. Its aroma is superb and the flavor is matchless. Unbelievable stuff — don’t ever change your formula!

Now that I have tried it…I cannot go back to other brands!

I have been using Cook’s vanilla, cookie and regular, for almost 20 years. I used to live just down from their admin office in Tacoma, WA and could get in the grocery stores there. I moved back home to MI and now I have to order it. It is far superior to any other vanilla extract I have tried. I tried others which I ordered and some that I bought in Williams Sonoma. They do not even come close to this vanilla extract. I don’t waste my money now. I just buy the best.
Peggy Thiessen (verified owner) –
I have used this product for years and I use it in all my desserts. You can really taste it in my goodies that I make. I love this product as well as The Vanilla powder. I have never been dissapointed in any product from this company. I love it all.
Terri Houlahan (verified owner) –
We always use it in our cookies! People always ask what is different and we tell them this is the best vanilla! We’ve been using it for over 20 years. Keep up the good work!

I used to buy my vanilla powder from Italy because I was not happy with the American vanilla extracts. Now that I’ve found Cook’s extract I’m absolutely delighted with the results. Just few drops and any any recipe is enhanced.

I have been using Cooks Cookie Vanilla for 20 years. There are some cookie receipes that I will only use your Cookie Vanilla. I have shared the vanilla with friends. I have always ordered direct from your company.
I am very pleased that you continue to market it.
Sarah C. (verified owner) –
It’s the best vanilla extract for chocolate chip cookies. I’ve tried others, more expensive and labeled “gourmet,” but they didn’t come close to Cookie Pure Vanilla. In fact, I tried the highly rated Sonoma Syrup Vanilla Extract, which is also a Tahitian/Madagascar blend. It made my choc-chip cookies taste rancid. The blend was terrible for choc-chip cookies. So now, I’m back to the Cookie Pure Vanilla. It has the perfect balance of Tahitian and Madagascar Bourbon; I’ll never stray again.
Carol (verified owner) –
My family and friends think that I changed my cookie recipes and can’t keep their hands off of them. The vanilla makes a huge difference.
Kathleen Stafford (verified owner) –
I have tried numerous vanilla extracts, but this is by far the most aromatic and delicious vanilla I have ever used. Baking with this vanilla added a wonderful flavor to everything I attempted. I was thrilled to find it online and delighted with the speed of delivery and quality of the product. Thank you for making this extraordinary vanilla available to me.
Chandler Levrich (verified owner) –
I think that this is the best vanilla for EVERY use. It has an extra special, super round, wonderfully complex vanilla flavor and mouth feel that is equal to NONE. I am a vanilla freak and this is my vanilla of choice in ALL recipes. I ran out of it a few years ago, when I was buying it on the retail grocerie shelf, and went on a spree to find a substitute vanilla. I could not and now buy it online by the pint! My life would change drastically if I could not have my warm glass of milk with my dribble of Cookie Vanilla Extract before going to bed. It guarantees sweet marshmallow dreams. I love this stuff!
Barb Fontaine (verified owner) –
This vanilla is the secret ingredient to my ‘kids favorite’ chocolate chip cookies. I bake every week and every sleepover to the joy of my 3 daughters and their friends. I love hearing, ‘You make the best cookies!’ This year I am passing on my recipe and the secret vanilla to a few select friends for Christmas.
Kate J. (verified owner) –
“Why don’t my cookies turn out like yours?” was a question I often get from my friends and coworkers. My answer is always the same: use butter and Cook’s Cookie Vanilla.
No other vanilla has the same unique flavor – an almost flowery scent that comes through even after baking. It’s perfect in Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I also use it to boost the flavor of vanilla ice cream, coffeecake, pancakes, and more.
In the 20 years I’ve been using your Cookie Vanilla, my baking style has changed radically: I’m on a low-cholesterol, gluten-free diet.
Even with this major change, my friends still love what I bake, still asking for my secret, and I still tell them the same thing: use Cook’s Cookie Vanilla.
Kathleen (verified owner) –
This double variety vanilla is terrific!! There is a subtle but flavorful difference !!
Sam (verified owner) –
I double this rich, deep, complex vanilla every time I use it. I once dated a woman who wore vanilla instead of perfume, so I have especially strong feelings for vanilla’s warm complexity. Perhaps if she’d been using this cookie vanilla we’d have lasted longer. Wonderful vanilla- I’ve never found better, though I found lasting love elsewhere.
Betscie-Anne Oho (verified owner) –
I have used this vanilla in all my baking goodies. It gives the baked item an unusual and distinct flavor. Everytime I made my chocolate chip cookies, I always had empty containers. If you want people to crave your cookies, just use this vanilla, and you’ll find yourself baking 24/7.
Roger (verified owner) –
This is my secret ingredient for cookies. People try to duplicate my cookies, but they don’t have this vanilla, so their cookies just don’t taste the same.

Forget about grocery store vanilla! If you want your baked goods to be the life of the party, this is the key ingredient that separates your cookies from mom’s cookies. I have been using it for 8 years and will never buy anything else.
Vesla Perry (verified owner) –
I have been baking for years and Cook’s Cookie Pure Vanilla Extract is the Only vanilla I will use for all my baking and cooking needs.
I have tried every brand on the market and nothing compares to Cook’s Cookie Pure Vanilla Extract.
That is why I order the 16 ounce bottles, because I use it so much. And it is the only extract I trust for over-all taste, smell and consistancy.
And a little tip here, when your making chocolate chip cookie dough and the recipe asks for 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, I use 1 Tablespoon of this wonderfull extract and the cookies come out perfectly moist and very aromatic.

I have been baking since I was a child and never has there been a vanilla that even comes close to the flavor that you can get with this vanilla.
I have been hosting a Christmas Exchange cookie party for 26 years now, I took over after my mother hosted one for 20 years. This vanilla continues to get others asking for my recipes!
Thank you!

I used Cook’s Cookie Vanilla when I lived in San Diego, CA. Every cookie I baked had Cook’s Cookie Vanilla. And I baked for police officers and firefighters, who always asked what the special ingredient in my cookies were. I never told anyone that it was Cook’s Cookie Vanilla. Two years ago, I moved to Hawaii to care for my father until he recovered from his injuries. I now live in Missouri and having just found the Cook’s Vanilla website was so exciting to know I can start baking again and use my “special secret” ingredient. If you want to have the BESTEST cookies, use Cook’s Cookie Vanilla.
