This item is not to be confused with one of a very similar name reviewed here. This is a bakery product, not boxed. Because of that, I expected these cookies to be better than the boxed ones. They're not. They're softer, but that's their only advantage. The boxed version is more intensely gingery and has a better proportion of icing. I also think these bakery cookies are too large to be called "mini."
They're certainly not terrible. I ate them all, and my worst thought was only that they were not as good as they could and should be.
Will I buy it again?
No.
Those mini gingerbread men in the link you posted are my favorites! They have such great flavor and those little bits of candied ginger inside....
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find an acceptable "bakery" item at TJ's, assuming the almond kringle doesn't count.

These are a family favorite at my house. I'm so disappointed that trader joes discontinued these this year. Searching for a replacement.
