Costco Shoppers Are Obsessed With These Raspberry Crumble Cookies
If you've been on the fence about buying a Costco membership, we're about to convince you to line up and sign up today. The bakery department at Costco is carrying raspberry crumble cookies that are so good, there are entire Reddit threads dedicated to their deliciousness. As one user described, they are "buttery, light pastry and cookie all in one" and another fan noted the flavor as "the perfect blend of sweet and tart!"
The flaky cookies have a jammy raspberry center and are dusted with powdered sugar on top, making them look like something straight out of a French patisserie. They come fresh from the Costco ovens in a 12-count box for $8.99 and shoppers are obsessed. In a post that's racked up over 1,500 likes in less than 24 hours, Instagram user @costcobuys shared a photo of the raspberry crumble cookies and captioned it, "These raspberry crumble cookies from the bakery have absolutely become a staple of my Costco trips...SO GOOD!" For some fans, there is just one minor detail that may make these cookies not so good – the calorie count.
Costco's raspberry crumble cookies are calorie bombs
We're not here to make you feel bad about appreciating the good things in life. Everyone deserves a cookie that's basically a mini fruit-filled pastry every once in a while. But, as an everyday indulgence, these raspberry crumble cookies could do a number on your waistline. Costco doesn't include the nutrition info on the label but one savvy Redditor spoke to a store associate and got all the details. We can honestly say, we were happier not knowing.
One raspberry crumble cookie from Costco contains 320 calories, 17 grams of fat, and 40 carbs. If you're keeping track, that means one of these cookies has nearly the same amount of calories as six Oreos (via Fitbit) or a small vanilla Frosty from Wendy's. Look, it wouldn't be any fun to be obsessed with something that's actually good for us, right? Just don't say we didn't warn you! If it's any consolation, these cookies are a seasonal item at Costco so your infatuation can only go so far.
