The Best Trader Joe’s Cookies
We are both self-proclaimed Cookie Monsters and so as you can imagine, we’ve tried LOTS of different Trader Joe’s cookies over the years.
Some are complete winners and some are big flops but let’s be real, no one wants to hear about the flops. So we’re here now to tell you about the best cookies from Trader Joe’s that you need in your pantry.
And we know “the best” is completely subjective but not only are these cookies some of our favorites, but they’re also the ones that are popular enough to be stocked in Trader Joe’s stores year-round or are super trendy seasonal finds.
The Best Trader Joe's Cookies
How do we know these are the best Trader Joe's cookies? Well, we certainly do love them all but more importantly, they're either on the cookie shelves year-round (and have been for years) or they're popular enough that Trader Joe's brings them back yearly for seasonal appearances.
These might be the most indulgent cookie you've ever eaten but they are WORTH IT. Think: peanut butter Oreos wrapped in peanut butter coating and drizzled with milk chocolate. I mean, come on!
Ube cookies are made from shortbread batter with some mashed purple ube yam ever so slightly mixed in. Buttery and earthy, you'll be surprised how addictive these delicate little cookies are!
Dunkers are quintessentially Trader Joe's! These chocolate coated chocolate chip Dunkers are perfectly suited for snacking and of course, dunking in hot coffee or cold milk! We've even used them as decorations on a Halloween dirt cake!
Trader Joe's Baton Wafers come in a variety of incredible flavors. Some, like vanilla and peanut butter are available year-round, and some, like these Lemon Baton Wafer Cookies are seasonal in the springtime. They're akin to Piroutte cookies and these are filled with a lemony cream filling. Delish!!
These Almond Windmill Cookies have a buttery, shortbread-like consistency and are topped with pieces of crunchy almonds and coarse sanding sugar. YUMMM!
Found year-round at Trader Joe's, these Maple Leaf Cookies are a sleeper cookie indeed. They're composed of two buttery shortbread-like maple-flavored cookies sandwiching a thick layer of maple buttercream. Paired with a hot drink, you'll fall for them just like we did!
Like the Key Lime Popcorn, you'll be shocked at how incredibly delicious these bite-size shortbread cookies are. Dusted in powered sugar and chocked full of bright and tart lime flavor, we challenge you to restrain yourself from not eating more!
If you're into fun cookies, these sandwich cookies are for you! Trader Joe's stuffed a slew of spunky sprinkles into butter cookies and a thick layer of vanilla buttercream frosting, which glues the cookies together. They're only available in the springtime so be sure to snag a couple of boxes before they fly off the shelves again!
Trader Joe’s has created yet again, the most decadent snack that you could wish for. Rich, chocolatey, crunchy, and slightly salty, here you'll find graham cracker squares enveloped in rich dark chocolate. The amount of dark chocolate covering the graham cracker is unbelievable and we think there may be more chocolate on the snack than actual graham cracker! SIGN US UP!
NOTE: Some of the items on this list are carried seasonally at Trader Joe’s so they won’t be available year-round.
