# Pre-Decorated Festive Cookies Trader Joe’s Decked Out Trees Save the Mixing, Baking and Decorating By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-12-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-cookies References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/decked-out-tree-cookies) As appealing as the idea of baking holiday cookies seems, the time-consuming process of mixing, baking and decorating is taken out of the equation with the Trader Joe’s Decked Out Trees. The milk chocolate crème-filled, tree-shaped biscuits are topped with snow-like icing and sprinkles, creating a fun and festive way to dress up a holiday entertaining spread. The cookies come in at just 30 cents apiece, which means that the Trader Joe’s Decked Out Trees are not only time-saving but resource-saving. As families will be celebrating the holidays differently this year and perhaps skipping out on annual traditions like cookie making, these festive cookies promise to satisfy a sweet tooth in an affordable way that requires no effort.
