At 14 Cents Per Cookie, This Walmart Bakery Fall Find Is An Unbeatable Deal

The arrival of autumn is often highly anticipated, particularly if it follows on the heels of an especially hot, dry summer. But beyond the promise of cooler temperatures, autumn also heralds the return of cozy fall flavors, from pumpkin spice to apple cinnamon. Most grocery stores, both local and national, roll out an array of fall-themed specialities to entice consumers, and Walmart is no exception. We took a look at 14 budget-friendly fall bakery finds at Walmart to help fall fans know what to look for. Among the items on this list, which includes everything from pumpkin cake bites to caramel butter pecan cookies, are Walmart's Assorted Harvest Cookies. This assortment of adorably fall-themed cookies comes in a box of 45 for $6.47 — that divides up to be roughly 14 cents per cookie.

Although Harvest Cookies come in a cardboard box, the assortment seems reminiscent of Danish butter cookies — the ones that come in that iconic blue tin. The Danish butter cookies in that tin are roughly the same taste and texture, but they come in a variety of shapes, like pretzels, swirls, and rectangles; and if you eat enough, you're likely to develop a favorite. Walmart's Harvest Cookies seem to be similar in size to the iconic butter cookies, and some of the shapes are similar, too. However, the autumnal theming comes out in the orange, pumpkin-shaped cookies, some orange and yellow sprinkles, and a yellow-tinted swirl cookie. Altogether, it's an attractive assortment and a very attractive price.

Customer reviews of the cookies are favorable, too; the collection has an average 4.7-star rating at the time of writing. One customer praises the powdered sugar-topped cookie for having a nice, spiced flavor. Another happy customer says they purchased some for gifts — in addition for their own use. Eating them alongside a cup of coffee or tea seems to be a popular choice. Of course, there are some negative reviews, too — mostly from customers disappointed by too many broken cookies. If possible, give your box a good check before adding it to your cart.

As the Walmart website states, these cookies would be an excellent addition to a fall party. Remove them from the box and arrange them on a nice tray or tiered stand. Pair them with a complementary beverage, like coffee with a fall-flavored creamer (just steer clear of International Delight's Apple Butter Coffee Cake creamer) or an apple spice tea, for example. If you want to go above and beyond, you could use a few dots of frosting and some candy eyes to give the sugar-dusted pumpkin cookies some personality.

For a more indulgent and show-stopping dessert, you could turn the cookies into an autumnal trifle, layering them with butterscotch pudding, whipped cream, and perhaps some pumpkin spice cake. Trifle is known to be a flexible dessert, so it's the perfect opportunity to get creative and opt for flavors you enjoy.
