Customers can pre-order a bag of cookie dough through the Iowa State Fair website and pick up their orders through a drive-thru process.

One bag holds 36 pre-portioned cookies, and each bag will be sold for $12. According to the release, the cookies will be sized the same as what a fairgoer would receive in a bucket or cup.

Orders will be accepted until Nov. 27 and will be available for pick up on Dec. 2 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
