Cherries are a late-summer staple and Trader Joe's wants to give consumers a new way to enjoy the iconic berry with the launch of its new Cherry Pie Flavored Cookies.
Available for a limited time, the new Cherry Pie Flavored Cookies take the buttery, sweet, and tart flavors of a cherry pie and condense them down to a cookie format. To make the cookies, Trader Joe's supplier starts with a sweet, buttery, and lightly salty dough. White chocolate chips, cherry pie-flavored crunchy bits, and dried Bing Cherries are then added in before the cookies are baked until crisp and crumbly.
A delicious complement to a hot cup of tea or a cool bowl of vanilla ice cream, the Trader Joe's Cherry Pie Flavored Cookies are sure to be your August obsession.
