Danish Oat Cookies

"Made in many different styles across Scandinavia, the Nordic delicacy known in Denmark as “havregrynskager” combines the heartiness of an oatmeal cookie with the caramel-crisp texture a lace cookie. Buttery, brittle, and chewy, with a lightly savory edge, havregrynskager are often prepared wth a drizzle of dark chocolate zig-zagged across the top. Trader Joe’s Danish Oat Sandwich Cookies, which are baked especially for us by a supplier in Denmark, flip that script, placing a deep, dark, chocolatey confection on the bottom of two Cookies, then Sandwich-ing them together to create one singularly sweet and crispy, delightfully Danish treat. We adore how well these Danish Oat Sandwich Cookies complement a bowl of ice cream, a glass of milk, or a cup of coffee. We’re elated over how easily they pack into a school or work lunch, and how ably they work as an anytime sweet snack. And we’re especially excited at the value they represent—we’ve seen similar cookies in this style sell for twice as much! Just be sure to pick up a bag of these chewy, chocolate-y, satisfyingly Oat-y Cookies while you can. They’re only available at Trader Joe’s, and they’re only available in late winter through the middle of spring."
