Trader Joe’s Rants & Raves (mostly raves, a few rants)

Dark Chocolate Dipped French Butter Cookies

They would be absolutely perfect to serve to guests over the holidays!

These are a wonderfully delicious French butter cookie, coated with a layer of excellent chocolate.

Trader Joe’s says this: “These Cookies are, indeed, made for us in France. The usual cookie-dough suspects—flour, sugar, egg yolks, milk, leavening, and salt—are combined with cultured French butter (13% of the recipe) to create a dough that is shaped into thin rounds. The baked biscuits are coated in rich, Dark Chocolate (40% of the recipe), yielding an exquisite Cookie that is at the same time: smooth, crunchy, chocolate-y, and buttery!”

Even if these didn’t have any chocolate, you would say these were great butter cookies. But they were dipped in chocolate, coated with a nice generous bit of excellent French chocolate too, which puts them out of this world.

These were a big hit with both of us. We really found these to be a super delicious treat.

My only problem with these? There’s way too few of them in the package! So you may want to buy at least two.

Someone at my local TJ’s came up with “try with a dollop of peanut butter”. Yeah, baby.
