These David’s Cookies Cranberry Pistachio Biscuits are new to Costco for the 2023 holiday season. They come in a festive-looking metal tube. If that’s not enough to convince you to buy them and you want to know more about the cookies inside the tube, you’ve come to the right place!
Other Christmas cookies from Costco are the Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies, David’s Butter Pecan Meltaways, Kelsen Danish Butter Cookies, Kirkland Signature Walker’s Shortbread, Kirkland Signature European Cookies with Belgian Chocolate, Rondoletti Rolled Wafers, Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies, Pirouline Chocolate Hazelnut Wafers and the Karen’s Bakery Danish Puff Pastries.
Location in Store
These cookies are located in the Christmas seasonal aisle at Costco. The item number is 1746134.
Taste
These aren’t amazing but they’re good. They kind of remind me of the Royal Dansk Shortbread cookies but with cranberries and nuts. The biscuits have a bit of sweetness but not a ton.
They aren’t the best shortbread cookie I’ve had. They’re hard and crisp and not very crumbly. They also don’t melt in your mouth. The cranberries and pistachios aren’t really noticeable, the main flavor is coming from the shortbread.
Cost
These biscuits cost $6.99 USD or $9.99 Canadian for the 264 gram tube of cookies. The cost isn’t unreasonable and is cheaper than some of the other Christmas cookies Costco is offering.
Convenience
The packaging is pretty unique! The cookies come in a long tube and then the cookies are packaged in two packs of 11 in the tube. The tin is reuasble but it has the David’s logo, nutrition facts and ingredients all over it. The best before date is five months from the date I purchased it.
Since they come in a nice festive tin they’d make a nice gift for a teacher, daycare worker or colleague. They’d go well with tea or coffee as a mid-morning or afternoon snack! I don’t think kids would love these because they’re not super sweet or flavorful but shortbread fans will enjoy them.
Nutrition
Calories
Two cookies contain 120 calories, six grams of fat, 60 milligrams of sodium, 15 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, six grams of sugar and one gram of protein.
That’s not a ton of calories, fat or sugar for two cookies but they’re also not the biggest cookies. In my opinion they’re quite small.
Ingredients
The ingredients are simple which I think is important when you’re buying a pretty plain shortbread cookie like this, a ton of additional preservatives and additives is unnecessary. The main ingredients are flour, pistacios sugar, butter, cranberries, cream, salt and vanilla.
The cookies contain milk, tree nuts, and wheat. They may contain eggs, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts and tree nuts.
Scoring
Taste: 6.5/10 Not bad just not amazing!
Cost: 8/10
Convenience: 10/10
Nutrition: 3/10 I really love the simple, whole ingredients used.
Overall
Give it a try!
Both my mom and I thought these were just okay. My mom admitted she was kind of sick of shortbread due to eating a ton of it recently and I admit I’m not the hugest fan of shortbread. I have no complaints about the cookies though, they just wouldn’t be my top choice.

The can got my attention and the ingredients got my sale. Anymore, cookies and treats are so loaded down with sugar, it’s hard to find a nice treat without all that sugar. These I absolutely love! Finally, just the right amount of sugar, perfect size and two of my favorites, pistachios and cranberry. I went back for more and after walking the isles, asked about them and they pointed me to little space with 6 cans left and reduced in price. 😊 Does not have to be seasonal so I hope I can order anytime, hence, I found this in the process of going to David’s website. By the way, I’m enjoying my last can now with Hawaiian tea 🌺
The first two were just okay. But then I started liking them more and more. By the time I finished the can, I had become addicted. I regret having only bought one can. When I went back to buy more from Costco, they were out of them….I guess they’re a seasonal item. Sure hope Costco brings them back next year.
A coworker gave this as a Christmas gift. I’ve been wishing for more and have searched the internet to see where I can buy them. Glad to know they’re at Costco. They’re great cookies. I don’t normally like store-bought cookies but these I couldn’t stop eating. They’re just right. Not sweet, not too much fat and the right bite size too. I’ll definitely look for them at Costco next time.
Amazing cookies.
I thought they were amazing! Not too sweet and not a lot of unnecessary ingredients. They sold out in my location very quickly. My only regret was only purchasing 2 cans. Hope they return next year.
