Crispy Ginger Chunk Cookies

On a recent visit to Trader Joe’s, I had a craving a sweet treat. Two things caught my attention. First, were the “Hold The Cone” mini ice cream cones with chocolate ice cream. The other is now one of my new favorite desserts, Crispy Ginger Chunk Cookies. As promised by the packaging these crispy, buttery cookies really do melt in your mouth. The ginger chunks are sweetened which makes the flavor very smooth. The chunks also add a bit of chewy texture to the cookie which I find irresistible.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Hawaiian Shirts – Sooooo good! You know you want it. So get it! Ginger not your thing? Don’t worry, they have similar cookies with two other flavors; chocolate chips or oatmeal raisin.

 

Pumpkin Ice Cream

Not another pumpkin product! Well, in a word, Pilgrim Joe’s Pumpkin Ice Cream is fantastic. It’s basically the love child of soft, creamy ice cream and a home-cooked pumpkin pie. Not too much spice. It melts quickly but you’ll want to savor every bite.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Hawaiian Shirts – Great on its own. Chocolate syrup or Kalhua takes it to another level.
