I headed to Trader Joe’s the other day to pick up some necessities and found that they now had gluten-free crispy crunchy chocolate chip cookies. One of my favorite places in the store to check out is the end cap which has a variety of new product offerings on it. Of course, I picked up a pack, even though I had many cookies already at home.
The cookies are $3.99 for a 7 oz. the package which has roughly 14 cookies in it. Each serving (2 cookies) contains 140 calories, 7g fat and 1g protein. The ingredient list is as follows:
Semi-sweet chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin vanilla, natural flavor), rice flour, butter (cream), brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, and water.
These were probably some of the most unique packaged gluten-free cookies that I have tasted. They were super crispy and had a wonderful butter flavor. If these had been on a plate and not in a package, I would not have been able to tell that they were not homemade. Each cookie had a decent amount of chocolate chips in it, which is not always the case. The front of the bag says “buttery and rich chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth” and I have to say that I completely agree!
These cookies join a long list of gluten-free foods available at Trader Joe’s. Our location just recently started carrying some of the Udi’s Gluten-Free product line. It is nice to pick up my bread, bagels and buns at the same place that I get a lot of my other groceries. I have also noticed the pricing on the Udi’s products seems to be a little lower at Trader Joe’s than some of the other stores in the area that carry their products. Trader Joe’s maintains an extensive list of their gluten-free products. The list is updated frequently can can be found online or in store locations.
Have you had a chance to try the new cookies from Trader Joe’s yet? If so, what did you think?
Just what I needed to know about. I have not seen these yet, but I will look for them on this week’s trip to Trader Joe’s.
They are freaking amazing! LOL!
I agree,, they are amazing! I can’t believe it, they taste like a regular cookie – wait – no – they are better! Thank you Trader Joes!
These cchip cookies tastes remarkably like the ones from Tate’s Bake Shop. Tate’s just recently changed its packaging too, which is also remarkably similar. These cookies are packed with flavor and have quickly become one of my favorites!
Jennifer,
Interesting! 🙂

Jennifer, interesting that you say that you say that, i thought the same thing when I saw the packaging. I am a huge fan of Tate’s gluten-free cookies, and thankfully, 2 places in Candler Park sell it, so I will get some at Trader Joe’s this week and do a taste test!
Jennifer, it is interesting that you say that, because I thought the same thing when I saw the packaging in the photo. I love Tate’s gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, and thankfully, two places in my neighborhood sell them. I will have to get the ones from Trader Joe’s this week and do a taste test.
I went to my local Trader Joe’s yesterday, and they were sold out! Will have to try again next week.
