Marks & Spencer has quietly discontinued a popular bakery item, leaving shoppers disappointed.

The White Chocolate & Raspberry Cookies, described as "top tier" by fans, have now been removed from shelves.

The cookies, which are a blend of white chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries, were a seasonal summer product and are now being phased out.

"I even introduced them to all my family and friends who also loved them."

A third commented: "Absolutely criminal these were top tier."

Marks & Spencer has since confirmed that the cookies are being phased out from stores right now, but they could return in the future.

A spokesperson for M&S said: "At M&S Food we are constantly innovating and refreshing our range, reacting to trends and customer feedback.

"We have a great selection of cookies available in our Foodhalls, including the popular white and milk chocolate – with more exciting launches to come.

"Although our White Chocolate & Raspberry Cookies are currently not available, we always listen to customer feedback when reviewing future ranges."

The supermarket chain assured shoppers that its classic cookie flavours remain in stock year-round.

Milk Chocolate, Triple Chocolate, and White Chocolate cookies will continue to be available in the bakery section.
