Sometimes, it’s the simple things about a cookie that really make it stand out: the crunch of its crisp, perfectly baked exterior. The buttery sweetness as it crumbles in the mouth. That balancing bit of saltiness that brings the whole experience together. All of these elements are particularly pronounced in Trader Joe’s Crispy Oatmeal Cookies with Sea Salt, a sweet treat that takes the simplicity of its recipe to some sublime places on the palate. 

Made with a base of flour, sugar, oats, and a whole lot of butter, these bite-sized Cookies offer a whole medley of textures and flavors, far beyond the sum of their parts—our tasting panel was especially taken with their refined butterscotch notes, courtesy of the toasty Oats. As such, they make an excellent sweet treat for all sorts of occasions. Enjoy a bowlful as a sweet snack on family movie night. Pack a few as a mini-dessert in a school lunch—or your own work lunch, for that matter. And if you’d really like to take things to the next level, let them lend their simply sweet and Crispy character to yet another dessert by crumbling them over an ice cream sundae or frosty milkshake. It’s as simple as that!
