I might be addicted to these French butter cookies at Costco. I hate it when they put them on sale because then I'm forced to buy a bunch and stock up.

 

 I buy those by the case when on  sale.  I'm not kidding.   Those are the cookie of choice in our Household.

I'd never heard of Tate's cookies and that link wasn't very informative but I was at Aldi this morning and spotted these:

Clearly, not on sale!

 

I forgot to mention: I like all Tate's EXCEPT PUMPKIN SPICE. As a  matter of fact, anything to do with pumpkin spice, other than pumpkin pie, can kiss my patoot!

 

Wow - I really screwed that link up!!! Try...https://www.tatesbakeshop.com/ instead.

Yo, bro!   Include those shops who pollute their space with pumpkin/gingerbread potpourri.    Kind of excludes us from October through December.

My wife and I actually love the cookies at Chick-fil-A! They're basically an oatmeal/chocolate chip cookie and they are delicious.

I bought a box of the Goya Maria cookies - suggested by Google as an alternative to my beloved Social Teas.  After my first taste I thought, "no way".  But they are growing on me.  They are less dense than the Social Teas, but have a similar bland, low sugar, plainness that I love 😄.

Have you ever tried Kedem tea biscuits?

I like them. The perect hardness, low sugar, just right with a warm beverage. In my markets they are stocked in the Jewish/kosher section. Cheap too.

We still go through an embarrassing volume the Grand Galettes in our house (thank you Costco), but got to talking about peanut butter cookies.  I was searching for European brand peanut butter cookies (not wafers, not sandwich) and can't seem to find a commercial brand that makes them.  Are peanut butter cookies not a thing in European baking?

 

I'd love to try a peanut butter sable cookie, but I don't want to bake it.

I will respond for France. Peanut butter is very foreign to us. The closest equivalent is Nutella which we all grew up on and love, but you won’t find peanut butter in French households or in French baked goods. It is a very American ingredient.

When I was growing up, the only place for peanut butter was on bread.  (Dutch)
