So many of my reviews lately have been about foods not quite hitting the mark and it gets discouraging after a while. Where is all of the good food hiding? In short, apparently it’s been hiding at Trader Joes for some time now.
Speculoos Cookie Butter is a lot like the big hair of the 80’s. It’s everywhere, in everything and you don’t even have a chance to figure out if you like it or not because everyone else is doing it. My previous experiences with this brand of cookie butter include the actual spreadable cookie butter (liked it) and the Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Core Ice Cream (tolerated it). Knowing all of this, I was sure these cookies could go either way.
Hate it or love it, I am specific. There needs to be
chocolate and/or peanut butter in my dessert for me to like it. Eating anything
too vanilla makes me feel lonely and in earnest, that was my issue with the Cookie
Core Ice Cream. I have this open mind, open mouth policy – so here we go. The
box reads that these sandwich cookies are made of creamy cookie butter spread
between two decadent butter cookies. Decadent indeed.
One word: WOW. I loved these cookies. They far surpassed my
expectations because of how amazingly buttery they were. If you put the cookie
on your tongue, it started to seep butter like it was the best day of your
life. Once the cookie crumbled as you chewed, the sweet and gingery cookie
butter went to work, adding a real richness and depth to the already satisfying
experience.
Some of the cookies had significant cookie butter between the layers and if careful, you could twist them like an Oreo. I would definitely eat these cookies any chance I get. Don't let the imagery fool you; these cookies tasted far better than they look! Chocolate and peanut butter who? These cookies rocked.
