My eyes went big and I said, “Oooooh” for this pretty box of holiday cookies. The box has a great appearance and lots of variety – so the cookies may be a nice choice for a party. BUT their taste honestly varies from OK to Good.
Holiday Cookie Assortment – The Bakery $3.98
I’ll break each cookie down…
Spritz with Sprinkles Cookie
The spritz cookie had Christmas colored sprinkles on it. This was my favorite in the whole box. It tasted like a butter cookie so it was very good.
Powdered Sugar Cookie
The powdered sugar cookies – I’d say the best flavor vibe I got from them was almond. I had hoped they were spice or gingerbread. But my husband liked the sweetness of the powdered sugar.
Pink Spritz Cookie
I expected the spritz cookie to give me a “POW” with a cherry or strawberry flavor. But it didn’t. It’s cherry but the impact was faint. It tasted good – like the spritz cookie.
Star Cookie
These star cookies are pretty. Again, I taste almond. And the colored sugar on top makes them sweet. They are as good as the spritz cookies.
Chocolate Chip Cookie
The mini chocolate chip cookies were OK, but the chocolate had little taste. So, it wasn’t in the “great chocolate chip cookie” category.
Brown Sugar Cookie
These cookies taste like cocoa, hmm… But, they seemed plain – just OK. The sugar on top adds a little sweetness.
I know, I know, I wanted this box of cookies to blow me away too. I wanted them to make me race back there to buy another one. But they didn’t. I’d eat the spritz and star cookies if I saw them at a party though.
What have you found on the Christmas treats table that you liked?
See you at Walmart!

Is the powdered sugar cookie really just an almond cookie? I scraped the sugar off and it tasted much better in my opinion, but I couldn’t quite make out the taste.
Jennifer says
Hi Matthew,
That’s a really good question. It wasn’t clear to me either, what flavor they were going for. It’s too bad the box didn’t give any hints. Thank you for stopping by to read my post and leave a comment.

The star shape one with multicolored sprinkles had a peppery finish. I thought the powdered sugar ones were gingerish. I wish they had more info, I’d love to get recipies.
Jennifer says
Hi Robyn,
I hear ya. The spritz ones inspired me to dust off the ol’ cookie press. Love the fairy garden YOU made! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

Tabitha says
Is there any way that I can order three of the flavors and order like a big box with just those powdered sugar cookies spritz and chocolate sugar cookies?
Jennifer says
Hi Tabitha,
I’d check with Walmart’s bakery. I noticed a box there devoted just to their spritz cookies. Now, just out for Valentine’s they are selling a very similar selection – but with heart shaped cookies instead of the stars. Best wishes.

Listen to me when I tell you – these cookies were the best cookies I ever had!!!! They were really special to me and I just wanted everyone to know the powdered sugar cookies were my absolute fav but I didn’t get to try the Easter egg ones cause my friend ate them all. LOL ^__^
Amanda says
I was wondering if you can tell me what the powdered sugar recipe is or if it’s almond cinnamon or what inside so I can find a recipe similar on Internet thanks
Jennifer says
Hi Amanda,
You might check with Walmart’s bakery and see if they can tell you. I wish I knew too!
Take care,
Jennifer
Linda says
Where are these cookies this year? The stores I checked did not have them. I can’t have Christmas without them. Ugh.
Jennifer says
Hi Linda,
I hear you. Last year they made boxes of just the spritz cookies so keep your eye out for those. Hopefully they’ll bring them back for Valentine’s Day. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. : )

When will these holiday cookies be available? I tried them a few years ago and fell in love with them. They are delicious. I look forward to then this time of year but I just haven’t seen any out this year. Where and when can I get these delicious cookies?
Jennifer says
Hi Samantha,
Yes, we love these cookies too. Check with the bakery at your local Walmart store. They may know when they will be available.
Thanks,
Jennifer
Angie says
I think, and i could be wrong, but I think the powder one is like a carrot cookies, as in like carrot cake. It had orange and green little flakes in them, they are pretty good. I really think its carrot.
V says
Hi how long do these holiday boxes last or when do they expire? Thinking of buying several boxes at a time for an event a little later and need to make sure I’ll have enough without them going bad or stale . Lastly how often do these holiday boxes come up for sale ? Thanks !
Jennifer says
Hi V,
I would check with your local Walmart bakery – to see what the expiration date is. And I think they make them for the holidays.
Thanks,
Jennifer
Brooke says
I love the powdered ones too. Trying to find out exactly what they are. It’s some kind of spice cookie; I think ginger.
Jennifer says
Hi Brooke,
Yes, they are tasty.
Thanks,

Maddie says
What cookie would you compare it to? I am trying to find more of the powdered sugar cookies and ordered some mexican wedding cookies. . Not even close. The Pfeffernuse are not like them either. I wish WAL-MART sold bulk of just the powdered sugar cookies.
Jennifer says
Hi Maddie,
Yes, they are great cookies! Thanks for your comment.
