Trader Joe’s Shoppers Are Calling This Sweet Treat ‘The Best Cookie Hands Down!’
June 6, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
Trader Joe’s is known for its selection of delicious and affordable desserts, and two kinds of their sandwich cookies have recently caught the attention of fans on Instagram.
With several tasty and unique flavors to choose from, shoppers are raving about the brand’s ‘Sprinkles Walk Into A Sandwich’ and ‘Strawberry Shortcake’ cookies. IG users are posting photos of these sweet treats and leaving glowing reviews, praising the flavor and texture of each cookie.
It all started on May 24th, when a popular Trader Joe’s-themed account (@traderjoesobsessed) uploaded a photo of two cookie boxes and wrote, “Are you Team Sprinkles or Strawberry Shortcake?? I personally like the strawberry one a little more! HBU??? FYI the fearless flyer has arrived too!”
Fans then headed to the comment section to share their thoughts on the treats. “Love them both!” one wrote with a heart-eyes emoji as another added, “Love the sprinkles, need to try the strawberry.” Someone else deemed the type of cookie itself and its sandwich aspect to be Trader Joe’s “best cookie hands down.”
The seasonal ‘Sprinkles’ version features “butter cookies filled with buttercream frosting and sprinkles” and the ‘Strawberry Shortcake’ kind has “butter cookies studded with strawberries and filled with buttercream,” according to the beloved brand.
Another commenter noted that the strawberry cookies are “sweeter” than the sprinkles ones, and some might find the former to be “too sweet,” whereas the latter has a “better” balance of flavoring.
Both cookies come around in the summertime, as someone else explained in the comments: “I always buy several boxes when they come out (I have 5 kids sooo….) they’re one of favorites and we look forward to them every year!”
Act fast, as they’ll probably be on your local TJ’s shelf for a limited time!
