While Trader Joe's offers many different kinds of cookies, it set out to create an organic option and is now introducing the Trader Joe’s Organic Vanilla Wafer Cookies. These cookies are not just light and naturally flavored but also notable for their exclusion of palm oil, a controversial ingredient. In its place, the vanilla wafer cookies feature organic cultured butter, which adds richness and a buttery flavor.
As well as catering to the needs of those who are specifically looking for organic and palm oil-free snacks, the Trader Joe’s Organic Vanilla Wafer Cookies also offer convenience for all, as the sweet treat is packed in a resealable pouch that's ideal for portion-controlled and on-the-go snacking.
