More. Freaking. Cookies.
I'm baffled as to why Trader Joe's makes so many different kinds of cookies, and I'm even more confused about why we bother reviewing them so religiously.
At least I was confused...before I shoveled a bunch of these delightful, crispy, buttery, flavorful, snacky sweet, angular edibles into my mouth—all the lightness and deliciousness of crepes in wafer cookie form. Now these could be one of my "desert island cookies." As of right now, they're definitely on Sonia's short list, too.
They're tasty by themselves or slathered with cookie butter or served with ice cream...and I'm sure most of you readers have come up with dozens of ridiculously wondrous things to do with them that never occurred to me. I'll admit I was so enamored with them that I gobbled up most of my share plain before I tried putting any fixins on them. Sonia was the one that got creative with cookie butter and ice cream.
Looks like traderjoes.com is suggesting we serve them with banana slices and chocolate syrup. That could work, as well, and it's probably more authentically crepey.
$2.49 for a box with two separate little plastic trays covered in cellophane. Packaging overkill? Perhaps. But I'm sure it's there in hopes of preserving the outstanding buttery flavor of these wafers a little longer. There's also a delicate, multi-layered crispness that's hard to describe.

3.5 servings? Seems like a very random number to me, but whatever you say, Trader Joe.
The isosceles triangle is relatively unexplored territory in the world of geometrically-inspired snacking. I guess tortilla chips are isosceles, at least some of the time, too—and they are also quite tasty. They should offer isosceles triangle-shaped pancakes and pyramid-shaped cakes and pies and see if it makes them more delicious.
Four and a half stars from Sonia once again. And another four from me.
Bottom line: 8.5 out of 10.
Does taste like buttery croissant in cookie form thus great with TJ's cocoa almond spread so 5⭐/5⭐ for moi also with TJ's coffee blast bean icecream! Been a fan since it's debut so I buy 3-4 boxes at a time then share if I remember 😉
ReplyDeleteI do agree! Those are like crispy croissants! DELISH! And it's flexible in desserts. I was thinking of frozen berries with a dollop of plain yogurt and a few of the cookies.
DeleteOh great�� something else I have to look forward to while shopping at TJ's. Oh boy I'm going before they disappear ��
ReplyDeleteThose can be great for cake toppers. Or even like chips with a fruity salsa.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely in love with these! So freaking delicious.
ReplyDeleteMe too! The texture is so unique. It like vanilla cones! Also those can be great for cake toppers. If having aquarium theme. Those can be used as a scales of the fish for the cake.
