We absolutely loved Trader Joe's Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Dough - this one is such an easy win during fall. The cookies come pre-shaped, which already makes them feel like a treat instead of a project. No scooping, no mess, just place them on a tray and bake.
Where to find it
You'll find this in the refrigerated cookie dough section, usually near the classic sugar cookies and other seasonal baking items. Once fall hits, it's one of those things that disappears quickly, so I usually grab more than one package.
Taste and texture
The flavor is exactly what you want from a pumpkin cookie - warm, slightly spiced, and not overly sweet. They taste cozy without being heavy. Once baked, the edges get just a little crisp while the center stays soft and tender.
They don't taste artificial or too sugary, which I really appreciate. The pumpkin flavor is there, but it's balanced and not overpowering.
How we enjoyed them
Since they come pre-cut, baking them couldn't be easier. Straight onto the tray, into the oven, done. The house smelled amazing while they baked - very fall, very comforting.
We ate them warm with coffee, and they were gone fast. They also held up well once cooled, making them great for snacking later or packing up to share. No frosting needed, no extras - they're good just as they are.
