Like a picnic in Europe with a cup of tea. Fair warning though the apricot bits can have a sour taste.
From TJ’s themselves:
“The rich, crumbly sweetness of shortbread is delicious on its own, and it also pairs extremely well with fruity flavors. Last year, we explored the shortbread-fruit pairing in Trader Joe’s All Butter Apple Shortbread Cookies [sku 78809]—and our customers confirmed the compatibility of this combo! Building on that success, we’re now introducing Trader Joe’s All Butter Apricot Shortbread Cookies.
Like the apple iteration, the Apricot version is made for us in small batches by a supplier in the U.K. The recipe for these scrumptious Shortbread Cookies includes freeze-dried Apricots, Apricot juice concentrate, and plenty of Butter—in fact, each Cookie’s composition is nearly one quarter butter, by weight! Before baking them to a tender, golden brown, our supplier makes an adorable, Apricot-shaped impression on the top of each one, adding an aesthetic that hints at the sweet-tart fruitiness embedded in these dense, buttery biscuits.
Their elegant look also makes them a wonderful addition to a dessert board. Of course, they are equally enjoyable one-by-one, right out of the box—perhaps with a sip of your favorite TJ’s tea.”
