For many Americans, the frosted sugar cookies found in nearly every grocery store bakery were a staple at childhood birthday parties and events. Now there is an adult version of the iconic cookies thanks to Trader Joe's.
The new Trader Joe’s Frosted Sugar Cookies are the brand's take on the iconic store-bought cookies that many consumers enjoyed as kids. Just like the original version, the Trader Joe's cookies are incredibly soft and almost cake-like in texture. The cookies are also made with the time-tested blend of flour, sugar, eggs, margarine, and butter. They are also finished with a layer of fluffy cream-colored frosting and rainbow sprinkles.
Though the colorful cookies are sure to be a hit among kids, Trader Joe's is quick to note that cookie connoisseurs of any age will enjoy the delightful treats.
