Ah, spring. That time of year when nature reawakens, spreading boundless blossoms across the landscape—it’s downright inspiring. In fact, it’s inspired us to celebrate the season the best way we know how: with jammy shortbread cookies. Trader Joe’s Lemon Flower Cookies are made for us by a trusted bakery partner, who starts with a base of beautifully buttery shortbread dough that’s been flavored with lemon oil and colored a pastel yellow with turmeric. After shaping the dough into a fancifully floral shape and baking it to a flawlessly crumbly texture, they then fill the center with a lemon jam, so that every bite sings with a satisfyingly citric sweetness. We invite you to join us in giving a toast to springtime by enjoying a Trader Joe’s Lemon Flower Cookie with a cup of your favorite tea—ideally, something similarly citric, like our always-excellent Organic Earl Grey. They make a handsome addition to a spring-themed dessert board, especially when you have folks over for brunch. And for a truly auspicious sweet treat, we recommend placing a Lemon Flower Cookie or two (or three) into a bowl of our Vanilla Ice Cream swirled with our Authentic Lemon Curd.
