A little piece of Europe on your table
It's not just the flavor that wins people over; the packaging, with its small cardboard basket, is reminiscent of European markets and outdoor picnics. Natasha, known as @traderjoeslist, describes it perfectly: "This cookie transports you to a picnic in Europe." It's easy to see why—just looking at them, it seems like they could come straight from a Mediterranean market.
The best part is that you don't need any fancy plate. These cookies stand on their own, ready to enjoy straight from the box. At just $3.49 each, they're a delicious and affordable option for any time of day.
Crunch and flavor that win you over
These shortbread cookies are made entirely with butter. The crunch is perfect and pairs excellently with any accompaniment. With cheese, tea, coffee, or wine, these cookies fit any occasion.
Many fans agree that the flavor is irresistible. Although some reviews were surprisingly low, most celebrated its return. Lisa, for example, received some controversy for her 6.8 rating; she herself wrote: "It deserves more than a 6.8! My score is 8.6! Delicious!"
Meanwhile, other fans shared their excitement on social media. @kenyamtate commented: "So good! I just ate half a box and came to see if there were any reviews." Another fan highlighted the product's value compared to competitors: "Delicious, and I saw similar cookies at another store for $10."
A trip without leaving home
If your next vacation isn't on the horizon, these cookies are the perfect solution. A couple of bites in the afternoon can transport you straight to a mini European getaway. All you have to do is open the box, grab a cookie, and let the flavor work its magic.
