The Morrisons Giant Football Cookie is sold at Market Street stores.
The large, chocolate-flavoured bake is made with milk, cocoa and wheat flour.
It comes as England prepare to face Spain on Sunday in a rematch of the World Cup final two years ago, where Spain won 1-0.
The cookie, spotted by shoppers in the Facebook group Snack News & Reviews, is billed as perfect for sharing at match-day gatherings as fans cheer on the Lionesses to bring it home.
This isn't the first football cookie Morrisons has offered - the novelty treat tends to make a return around big football events.
It comes after the supermarket faced criticism over its new delivery charge.
Shoppers now face a £3 fee on orders under £40, up from the previous £25 minimum spend.
The change, rolled out on July 14, has drawn concern from smaller households and elderly customers who often place smaller orders.
The charge does not apply to customers with a paid delivery pass.
Consumer advocate Martyn James said: 'Online deliveries became a lifeline for people over the pandemic.

'But for millions of people they continue to be essential.
"Introducing charges like this might seem small, but for people struggling to make ends meet, they really can have a huge impact.
'Online deliveries help people with disabilities, those working multiple jobs. older and more vulnerable people and families on a tight budget using online services to stay within very tight budget limits.
'These charges seem deeply unfair for those who need deliveries the most.'
Morrisons said: 'We have recently introduced a £3 delivery fee supplement to customers who order a basket of £40 or under to be delivered to their home.
'This fee will not apply to our paid Delivery Pass Customers and even with the additional fee our prices remain competitive versus the rest of the market.'
Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's all charge extra fees on delivery orders below their minimum basket values - £3 for under £40 at Asda, £5 for under £50 at Tesco and £7 for under £40 at Sainsbury's.

But it was revealed last week that the French club had hired a lawyer to broker a cancellation of the deal with Forest, after Textor resigned from his leadership roles at the end of June. L'equipe reports that the American had agreed a deal with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis for the keeper months ago, for around £7million. Efforts to cancel the switch were unsuccessful and the French giants are now being forced to hand the 31-year-old - who won the FA Cup on loan at Palace last season - a three-year contract. It has been a turbulent few months for Lyon, after their punitive relegation to Ligue 2 due to financial issues was overturned by the French Football Association.

Thiago Almada's loan from Textor-owned club Botafogo has ended - and he has since been sold to Atletico Madrid - while young winger Malick Fofana has been heavily linked with a move to Everton. In an effort to save precious funds for the rest of the transfer window, Lyon have reportedly arranged for Turner to be sent on loan for the upcoming season. he will return to his old club New England Revolution in the MLS, with the club taking on his full wages and holding the option to make the move permanent. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Textor's holdings with Lyon were the cause of Palace's demotion from the Europa League earlier this year, with Uefa citing a breach of multi-club ownership 'integrity' rules. The Eagles are set to plead their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport next week. Matt Turner shows off his goalkeeping skills at Nottingham Forest training Chairman Steve Parish branded the decision to relegate them to the Conference League as 'the biggest injustice in the history of sport'. Palace argue that Textor, who has now sold his Selhurst Park shares to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, never had 'decisive influence' at the club. Now the Lausanne-based Court has confirmed Palace's case 'versus Uefa, Nottingham Forest and Lyon' will be heard in front of a three-person tribunal on Friday, August 8. Both Palace and Uefa will be allowed to choose one Judge from the CAS panel, with the chair appointed independently. CAS added: 'No decision will be issued on August 8. 4 Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish will lead the club's appeal of the decision in an attempt to reinstate their Europa League status Credit: Getty 'It is expected that an operative decision (without grounds) will be rendered on August 11, 2025.' Turner's current club, Forest, are named in the action because they stand to benefit from the decision. The Reds, who qualified for the Conference League, will be promoted in place of Palace if the Uefa ruling is ratified. The Eagles are due to discover their opponents in the Conference League play-off round on Monday - although if they win at CAS, it will see them being replaced in the third-tier competition by Forest. Ironically, the two clubs are due to meet in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on August 24, a match sandwiched by the two legs of the play-off round.

Morrisons makes major change to supermarkets customers will notice in stores now
The supermarket is aiming to "shine a light" on an important issue. Morrisons has announced this week that it will be implementing a significant change across its stores in a bid to "shine a light" on a crucial cause. The supermarket chain has revealed plans to turn one in four of its products yellow, along with its baskets, trolleys, café chairs and car parking spaces, to boost awareness for the charity Marie Curie. This new campaign, which kicked off on Monday, July 28, will see numerous Morrisons products and facilities adopting a daffodil yellow hue as part of its 'Every Pack Gives Back' scheme, reports the Manchester Evening News. The alterations aim to generate funds for Marie Curie through promotional items being bought by shoppers as part of Morrisons' pledge to raise £15million for the charity. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, explained: "We want to shine a light on the importance of end of life care and so turning one in four of our baskets, trolleys, café chairs, and even car parking spaces yellow is a simple but powerful way to start a national conversation about something that affects us all. "In the coming weeks, Morrisons customers can help raise vital money for Marie Curie by buying a promotional 'Every Pack Gives Back' - the brand will then donate a percentage of the sale price to the charity." Morrisons shoppers will be able spot a sea of new yellow packaging on promotional items such as Innocent Orange Juice, Pampers Nappies, and Soreen Malt Loaf as they browse the aisles. From next week, these yellow packaged goods will also be available to online customers, with the store's website set to feature them from Monday, August 4. The promotion is scheduled to run until August 28. Morrisons has pledged that for each item sold under the 'Every Pack Gives Back' campaign, a portion of the proceeds will go to Marie Curie. A variety of products including Morrisons food-to-go sandwiches, London Essence Indian Tonic Water, and MOJU Ginger Vitality Dosing Bottle Shots, along with seasonal aisle selections, will don a special 'Every Pack Gives Back' label, making it easier for consumers to spot and support this charitable cause. Marie Curie's Chief Executive, Matthew Reed, commented: "Far too many people are still dying without the care and support they need. What's more, we've seen demand for our services increase significantly in recent years, with a growing gap between those needing end of life care and those who receive it." He further stated: "Through our partnership with Morrisons, we're aiming to help more local communities and families receive the best end of life care possible, whatever the illness, wherever they are." Morrisons has also announced that it will be selling a limited edition Bag for Life throughout August, in addition to launching a Marie Curie branded grocery delivery van, hosting in-store fundraising events and volunteer-led collections. The More Card app will also turn yellow to highlight the fundraising efforts. This follows Morrisons' recent update to its loyalty scheme, allowing More Card members to convert their weekly shopping points into a monetary donation to Marie Curie. With the updated More Card feature, customers can now donate their points to the charity via the More Card App or More Website, with 1,000 points equating to a £1 donation. These initiatives follow Morrisons' announcement that it has already raised £2.6m for Marie Curie since the inception of their partnership with the charity in November 2024.
