Sandy had just finished a long day at work and a run with a friend. She had no chance to go home for dinner before our usual kids dance class routine. She also gave up sweets for Lent...but she was pretty hungry...and of course I forgot to grab her a dinner as I was too busy wrangling all our own kids plus one more through dinner and out the door to get to said dance class, and I remembered everything except her dinner...and it'd be at least an hour til we got home...and all I had was Trader Joe's Organic Chocolate Chip Cookies with me (i.e., kid bait to get them all moving)...
Husband fail. She broke Lent because of me. It wasn't her fault. I think God will understand.
Worth it? Maybe. I mean, these are really pretty basic snacky chocolate chip cookies. Of course, even a middlin' chocolate chip cookie is pretty tasty in my book.
Regardless, these cookies are worth a try, especially if in need for a portable confectionary motivator for either yourself or the juvenile crowd. There's five mini cookies to a serving - you should see a four year old's eyes light up when you tell her she can eat five cookies if she'll just get her little biscuits moving. It works like a charm. Good, not great, cookies. Kid approved, mama and dada approved, and budget friendly at less than $3 for the baggie, so they do have all that going for them. Yumz.
Bottom line: Trader Joe's Organic Chocolate Chip Cookies: 7.5 out of 10 Golden Spoons
These sound a lot like the crispy little choco chip cookies that come in a big tub- although somehow the ones in a tub are a lot more per serving.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a good option for an organic kid motivating treat

I was excited to try these cookies, but also a little skeptical. Being organic does not automatically equal flavorful or delicious. These are hands down the BEST organic chocolate chip cookies I have found! From a size standpoint, these are Famous Amos. The ones in the tub are thinner… so you get more cookies per serving. I love that Trader Joe’s is expanding their Organics. Not only did I like them, my kids loved them. It feels good to give my family healthier treats. We all liked these better than the Famous Amos cookies and I feel certain it’s because these use real BUTTER and Famous Amos doesn’t use any.
