Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chunk Chewy Cookies Review. Discontinued.
UPDATE: I wrote this review a while ago. By now, of course, Trader Joe’s has tried out (and abandoned) many other chocolate chip cookies, all in the insane hope that some will taste homemade. Maybe someone else will keep trying each new one and report back. 🙂
Absolute no for these Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chunk Chewy Cookies. The cookies are dry and the chocolate is not satisfying and tastes cheap. I’m Yankee thrifty, but I’m tempted to throw the rest of them out! Ingredients look fine (ie, no corn syrup, which I won’t eat anymore), and there’s a bit of honey, which will usually raise my rating, but not this time.
Top Ingredients: enriched unbleached wheat flour, brown sugar, semisweet chocolate chips, butter, sugar

Traitor Joe’s discontinues great food!
Part of my bitterness is because several years ago Trader Joe’s used to make a chocolate chunk cookie that was totally great. It was dense, hard, somewhat grainy, with good quality chocolate. (may have been Guittard’s.) All you needed was a couple of them to make the starving (or sad) feeling in your gut go away. Â I met a guy standing in line behind me once, with only one item – a bag of these cookies, and he told me he would eat the whole bag in one sitting.
I guess that was his supper. Ah, men, and their lucky, lucky metabolism!
Grrr at Traitor Joe’s for always dropping good food. I wrote a lyrical poem about our local Trader Joe’s, here in Silver Lake, which is one of the two biggest (some say the biggest) Trader Joes stores in the country. They’re always out of some foods, and their 4 delivery trucks a day block traffic. It’s not very nice.
I can’t find a picture of these discontinued cookies. So I’m going to include the graveyard cartoon above on all dead foods from now on, even if I’m glad they’re gone. (If you want to see what the guy in the coffin is thinking, the entire cartoon is here.)
Did you know Amazon Prime Pantry carries over 1000 Trader Joe’s foods now? You won’t find their Chocolate Chunk Chewy Cookies, of course, nor my own favorite discontinued cookies mentioned above, but 20 other variations of TJ chocolate chip cookies pop up if you want to keep your mailman busy.
Best of luck!
