Production of cream filled cookies

At the Holsum plant 135,000 cream-filled cookies are baked per hour. Here's an inside look at how Holsum's famous cookies are made:

1. Dough

Flour, sugar, vegetable fat, salt and artificial flavors are mixed for 8 minutes to create the perfect dough.

2. Molds

The dough is placed in the rotary machine where it will be divided. Huge metal cylinders contain the molds where the cookies are shaped.

3. To the Oven!

After the cookies are shaped, they are taken to the oven, where they are baked for four and a half minutes. The oven is 100 feet long and 40 inches wide and the cookies are baked at 400 degrees fahrenheit on one side and 300 degrees fahrenheit on the other.

4. Filling

Once cooled the cookies are filled with cream and the cookies that we know and love are finally formed.

5. Packaging

Finally the cookies are packaged and distributed around the Island and beyond.
