13 Cookies You Should Be Picking Up At Dollar Tree

Sometimes in life, only a cookie will do. Whether it's a triple chocolate chunk of a mouthful or a snappy, buttery confection, we can always find time — and space in our tummies — for cookies. While savory versions do exist (we see you, cheese and rosemary delights), it's the sweet kind we invariably end up thinking about, cooking, and then devouring. But when time's not on our side, buying cookies is the next best thing. With that in mind, we took a look at the range available at Dollar Tree, and we're thrilled to say it's cookies a-go-go at this retailer, and all for much the same low price!

Our choices include mini cookies, ginger snaps, animal shapes, and shortbread, to name but a few, proving there's more to the cookie landscape than even the most gourmet homemade chocolate chip treats crafted with a touch of MSG. As always, details about pricing and availability were correct at the time of writing, but if there's a particular cookie you really want to get your hands on, contact your local DT to make sure it's in stock.

A cookie that combines shortbread and fudge, you say? Don't mind if we do! These oven-baked beauties are adorned with the creamy, sweet stuff, and if you've somehow never dunked a cookie in your coffee before now, this is the one to try it out. The pack's a generous one, so there are plenty of yummy, buttery chances to definitively test whether you like it.

You don't have to be marking your big day to rip open a bag of these bite-sized biccies, which combine vanilla birthday cake flavoring with colorful sprinkles. Made with real butter for added richness, these small but perfectly formed cookies are guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face, whether you share them with colleagues at work or bring out a bag on your next family movie night.

We love the fact there are opening instructions on this bag — as if we need instructions! Dollar Tree shoppers love everything about these cookies, from the texture and ginger flavor to the pie crust recipe on the back of the bag. Sadly, scoffing ginger snaps probably won't have the same potential effect on joint pain as the fresh stuff, but putting our feet up with a steaming cup of tea and a couple of these will always make us feel good.

Keebler is one of the oldest American food brands still going strong, and with goodies like these cookies, we're not surprised. Who could resist mini versions of the Elves' bakery-style cookie, mashed together with the chocolate candies? The 3-ounce bag is big enough to take on picnics or hikes, pop into lunchboxes, or keep all to yourself.

We loved these cookies for three reasons. First, they're chocolate-flavored, and who can ever say no to a chocolate cookie? Second, they come in convenient packs of eight, so they're ideal for adding to the little ones' lunchboxes. Third — and arguably the most important for anyone, especially parents, seeking healthier snacks — each bag contains an impressive 7 grams of whole grain. Will the kids know this as they're shoveling them down? Probably not, but you will.

As lovers of a delish Danish butter cookie (especially around the holiday season) but not necessarily fans of the price of a tin, we were immediately enchanted by these treats from Cambridge & Thames. They may be labeled "Danish-style," but these cookies are every bit as sweet and rich as the originals. They also come in a gorgeous blue tin and even sit in those adorable paper cups. How many of them could you empty in one sitting?

Variously described as "delicious," "amazing," and "tasty" by shoppers, once they find them, Dollar Tree customers cannot get enough of these packs of bite-sized chocolate-covered cookies. It's easy to see why. Each sweet biscuit circle is topped with a combo of creamy filling and milk chocolate, and just begs to be nibbled until there's just the choccy topping left. There are five little cookies in a pack so they're surprisingly filling, and good for a mid-morning, mid-afternoon, or mid-night snack!

There are lots of health benefits to starting the day with a bowl of oatmeal, but if you want to up your fiber intake a little, snaffling just one or two of these cookies might help. The combination of moreish, snappable cookie drizzled with sweet icing has been a beloved treat for years, and DT shoppers are always pleased to see them. They're definitely on our and other buyers' list of ones to dunk!

We laughed out loud at the "about 3 servings" on these cookies' packaging. As far as we're concerned, once these bad boys are open, they're getting demolished on the spot. Each bite-sized bit of cookie contains a melt-in-the-mouth dollop of peanut butter that's so yummy, who could possibly stop at one? Expect wide smiles all round if you present them at a sleepover, movie night, or a get-together with friends.

Cute as a button and great for gatherings of all kinds, these animal-shaped cookies are a delightful blast from the past. Each crisp, buttery cookie is coated in either pink or white frosting and studded with colorful sprinkles, firmly ticking both the taste and texture boxes. They're wonderful eaten straight out of the pack, but they also make lovely muffin or cake decorations if you're short on time.

You have to be intrigued by a cookie that's described by Dollar Tree as "ravishing," but in our opinion, the store is spot on. We're not alone in singing the praises of this graham cracker-fudge combo, either. One buyer who deliberately left an all-caps review said it was the "only way to properly convey the absolute god tier that these cookies are on." If that doesn't convince you to put them in your cart, nothing will.

Baking homemade shortbread demands absolute precision and focus, but if you have neither of those attributes right now, grab a box of these lemon-flavored cookies from Dollar Tree instead. They are silky and buttery, with a gentle whoosh of citrus that takes them to another level entirely. "I could eat a whole box in one sitting if I didn't discipline myself," wrote one satisfied customer. We know exactly what they mean.

Pepperidge Farm was behind a range of swanky soups that were discontinued back in the day, but its Milano dark chocolate cookies are still going strong. There are three pretty cookies sandwiched with a yummy chocolate filling inside each sophisticated-looking pack. They make a tip-top sweet snack at the office, a reward for going to the gym, a lunchbox treat for the kids, or a fabulous afternoon pick-me-up.
