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.
