Pumpkin powder imbues the cookies with an orange glow, and chocolate chunks inject them with yum.
8. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Joe-Joe’s Cookies – Amazon $14.47
Amazon
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Joe Joe’s Cookies are the cookies of the pumpkin season, hands down. There’s nothing complicated about Pumpkin Joe Joe’s. They’re simple pumpkin cookies sandwiched together with a pumpkin crème filling. That filling is delightfully pumpkin-y, sweet but not too sweet, and oh-so creamy. Like all of the cookies in this family, the Pumpkin Joe Joe’s are twistable, dunkable, crunchable, crumbleable, and eminently enjoyable. Unlike most of the others, these are only available for a very short period of time. If Joe Joe’s are your thing, and pumpkin is your passion, buy yourself a box (or five) before they disappear.
