I don't usually buy or encourage others to indulge in
store bought cookies because they are usually disappointing.
My
opinion has officially changed, at least for one cookie, and that cookie is the
Grisbi “Lemon & Ginseng Cream” cookie.
I
discovered these cookies at the oddest place. An Asian grocery store in
Portland (seriously? Italian cookies at Fubon?).
What
first caught my attention was their bright yellow box, followed by the SALE
sign reading .99. After
scanning the box and price I decided to toss a couple boxes in my basket (there
were about 7 different flavors) to take home to my lemon loving husband.
As you can imagine, I had very low expectations for these store bought cookies,
but figured all I had to loose was $1.98.
Yeah
me! I scored brownie points with this new find. My husband loved the lemon cream
flavor and asked for a repeat performance, and even though the orange lime
flavor got eaten up, it didn't make the repeat list.
These
shortbread stuffed cookies are made in Italy by Vicenci and come 9 to a box
(truly not enough for sharing, I highly recommend you get a second box).
So
if you see these cookies on your grocery shelf give them a try. No, what I’m really trying to say is,
hoard them!
Tell
me what your favorite flavor is.
