Costco Desserts on Us Laceys Macadamia Milk Chocolate Cookies Review

Desserts on Us Laceys Cookies have been a Costco staple for years, but they’re easy to overlook. At first glance, they don’t look like your typical show-stopping cookie—but don’t let appearances fool you. Once you try them, you’ll understand why I’m such a fan. Read on to find out what makes them so special!

Location in Store

The cookies can be found in bakery section near the Nonni’s Limoncello Biscotti Bites and the Lotus Biscoff Cookies. The item number is 270418.

Taste

These cookies taste incredibly decadent—sweet, rich, and delicious. I’ve never had anything quite like them. The milk chocolate is high quality, and the toffee cookie is crisp and not too thick. They taste like a cross between a cookie and a chocolate bar.

To give you a better idea, it’s a crisp, buttery toffee wafer cookie coated in smooth milk chocolate. They’re pleasantly chewy, and if you enjoy toffee and milk chocolate, I can almost guarantee your eyes will go wide after your first bite.

Picture a Skor bar—but a million times better, higher quality, and transformed into a crisp, chewy toffee wafer cookie. You can definitely taste the toffee and milk chocolate, but there’s not much macadamia nut flavor (it’s one of the last ingredients listed). Big chunks of macadamia nuts on the outside would make these even better and might help balance out the very sweet toffee flavor.

If you don’t enjoy super sweet cookies, these might not be for you. But if you have a sweet tooth like I do, you’ll love them—though you’ll probably feel satisfied after just one or two. They’re very rich, so one cookie is usually enough. These would pair perfectly with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Cost

Cost-wise, these are a little on the expensive side at $12.39. However, the plastic container is quite substantial—I’d estimate there are about 20 to 25 cookies inside.

They don’t taste artificial or cheap, either. These are the kind of cookies you’d proudly serve to guests over coffee or during the holidays. They look and taste fancy, so I could definitely see them being a hit at the office or a Christmas gathering.

Convenience

The cookies come in a resealable plastic container that you can easily pop in the freezer—and they freeze well! The best-before date is about four months from the day I purchased them. When you remove the lid, the smell is absolutely heavenly!

Nutrition

Calories

It’s a good thing you only need one cookie to feel satisfied, because each cookie contains 150 calories, 10 grams of fat, 30 milligrams of sodium, 14 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, one gram of protein, and 12 grams of sugar.

Ingredients

These cookies contain wheat, so unfortunately they are not gluten-free. They also contain milk and may contain other tree nuts. The ingredients list is pretty much what I expected—no healthy ingredients here, aside from maybe the macadamia nuts.
