What should I buy at Trader Joe's?
I've never shopped there (yes, I'm crazy apparently) and I'm wondering what is your favorite item(s) at Trader Joe's? We have one opening in my town in two weeks.
Oh My Goodness! Thank you all so much. Feel free if you add more if you think of anything else. I guess I've really been missing out. Thanks for making my grocery list--I'm going to look for everything you've mentioned.
I like this one and use butter in place of margarine. From Recipezaar.
Cream Cheese Cut-Out Cookies Recipe #56407
I love this recipe because it is so easy to roll out, and the taste is
great. This is our favorite Christmas cookie recipe to make, but I
also make them for Easter and Halloween. Sometimes I ice them or just sprinkle with colored sugar while they bake. I always double this recipe for us.

1 day | 1 day prep | 24 cookies
1 cup margarine
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1. Cream margarine and cream cheese, then add the sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla, and flour last.
2. I like to chill dough over night or at least several hours.
3. Roll out chilled dough and cut in desired shapes with your
favorite cookie cutters.
4. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
5. Ice and decorate.
I've used Lyle's Golden Syrup as a corn syrup substitute with good results.
When I was younger (around age 12) and just starting to cook I used 1/2 cup of baking soda instead of 1/2 teaspoon in a cookie recipe. It was upon tasting these cookies that I learned what baking soda was and how much would normally be in a recipe. :)
My most recent disaster involved blending hot soup in the blender. The middle part of the blender lid somehow flew down into the soup below and was quickly consumed by the blade. Needless to say, my blender was out of commission for a while until I ordered replacement parts.
