They were giving out samples of these yesterday so I took one to taste. Didn’t like it at all. For me the cookie was crazy sweet, just overpoweringly sweet. I have no idea what “Cinnamon Bun Inspired” even is supposed to mean. I barely tasted cinnamon flavor, just an overpowering amount of sugar.
Now the TJ’s Regular Joe Joes are not bad; they are an Oreos copy. This one though, I thought whoever dreamed up this “Cinnamon Bun Inspired” variation had a terrible idea that failed in execution. On the plus side this says its a “limited edition”. I expect it to fade away and make room for another decent product.
I do love cinnamon and TJ’s I just love TJ’s Old Fashioned Cinnamon Grahams, which are a are wonderful cookie with a ton of great cinnamon flavor, so if you want a great cookie with cinnamon taste get some of those. They are absolute Classics and a great product.
The next day my TJ’s was giving out samples of another cookie. Heart Shaped Raspberry Shortbread Cookies. I thought those were very yummy!

I have to agree that “In contrast TJ’s old fashioned Cinnamon Grahams are wonderful.”
They were a major loss to me when I developed a galloping gluten intolerance!
