1. Triple Ginger Snaps – $4.79/14 Oz

2. Gluten-Free Joe-Joe’s Sandwich Cookies – $4.79/12.5 Oz
- Chocolate vanilla creme cookies with real vanilla bean speckles; a gluten-free twist on classic sandwich cookies.
- The filling has a strange cocoa flavor, but they’re a solid alternative to Oreos—crispy wafers with creamy center.
- Best skipped for flavored versions; regular ones lack excitement compared to peppermint or other varieties.
3. Belgian Butter Almond Thins – $2.79/7.05 Oz
- Super thin, graham-cracker-like cookies with nutty almond bits; delicate, crisp, and slightly sweeter than grahams.
- Great for cheeseboards, icebox cakes, or snacking; concentrated flavor and light texture make them addictive.

6. Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies – $4.99/7 Oz

7. Maple Leaf Cookies – $3.99/11.4 Oz
- Large, leaf-shaped butter cookies with thick maple creme filling; sweet and pancake-like.
