Every now and then, Trader Joe’s sneaks something onto the shelves that looks innocent enough—until you bring it home and realize you’ve developed a full emotional attachment to it. Their Dress Circle (meaning fancy!) Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies are exactly that kind of snack.

Sold in a generous one-pound tub (yes, a full pound), these tiny cookies somehow manage to feel both adorable and dangerously addictive. I didn’t stop to count them, but the container claims around 200 cookies, which feels accurate based on how often I keep reaching back in for “just one more.” The best part?

And in the case of Isabella’s Cookie Company, I was right — these cookies are seriously yum. Let’s take a closer look.

There’s a fancy bakery on the upper west side where people will wait in line on the street for an hour to buy these humongous 6-ounce chocolate chip cookies for which they are renown. The cookies are so huge that one can easily be shared by two or more normal-size adults and no one would feel like they are missing out. Just being serious.

I wish I could tell you that this is the final Barbie-inspired Pink Thing of the Day that was captured by my iPhone whilst I was having the time of my life in London — but that is not the case. There is indeed more to come! This week, I am treating you to a Barbie Pink-frosted Bun (probably raspberry-flavored icing, if the berry garnish is any clue) which I saw in a bakery window! It looks delicious!
