German Iced Gingerbread Soft Spiced Cookies

"Trader Joe’s German Iced Gingerbread Soft Spiced Cookies aren’t your ordinary gingerbread cookies. They take their visual cue from springerle, a traditional German cookie with origins dating back to the 14th century. Characterized by their intricate, embossed designs (typically made by pressing a mold onto rolled dough and allowing the impression to dry before baking), springerle are as visually interesting as they are delicious—and our version of this time-honored treat is no exception. Made for us by the same trusted German supplier behind our classic TJ’s Lebkuchen Cookies , each box of German Iced Gingerbread Soft Spiced Cookies contains two large, roughly 4” x 5.5” rectangular cookies—generously sized for sharing… or savoring solo. They’re thick, soft, and chewy, falling somewhere on the textural spectrum between a classic ginger snap and a luxurious molasses cookie. While traditional springerle are typically made with anise, our German Iced Gingerbread is gently Spiced with with the likes of cinnamon, ginger, clove, black pepper, and nutmeg, so each bite strikes a satisfying balance between warmth and sweetness. To top it off (quite literally), each Cookie has been embossed with an exquisite snowflake & paisley pattern, and finished with a delicate, sugary glaze. Pick up a box (or two!) today!"
