These little cookies in a clear tub are seriously addictive, with chunks of chewy candied ginger. Yum.

...with terrier. Definitely addictive if you like ginger snaps at all.

Wal-Mart has a very similar product, but theirs are packaged in small brown bags--not the nice big tub that TJ's has.
I LOVE the cookies! They have a really nice, warm ginger-y flavor. Just sweet enough, with the right crunch for a cookie. I love to make little mini ice cream sandwiches with vanilla Soy Delicious and these cookies. Very tasty. Oh, and any crumbs that just happen to be in the bottom of the bin taste great over ice cream.

BAsed on the comments here I gave these a try. I am alongtime fan of the Archway ginger snaps, but I'm trying to rid my diet of alot of those "phoney" ingredients. I tried the organic snaps at TJs and the flavor for the calories, just wasn't worth it. THESE taste more like Archways, but BETTER than Archway...more gingery flavor, andthe calories are the same....yay!
Finally, a gingersnap that tastes like ginger. I have quit eating most sweets, but I still indulge in these cookies, because a couple of cookies are enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, and because I can't resist them. Crunchy, sweet, and a little spicy. They are a staple at our house.

Six cookies contain 140 calories, 5g fat, 0g fiber, 21g carb, 130mg sodium.
Ingredients: Unbleached wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, crystallized ginger (ginger, sugar), molasses, eggs, fresh ginger, baking soda, ground ginger, Kosher salt.

I agree with all the above comments. These cookies are so delicious, by themselves or with vanilla ice cream.

I never liked ginger snaps, yuk! My mother-in-law had them out one day and I tried one. Let me just say I've had them on my counter ever since. I have lost 5 pounds in about 3 weeks now, as I pop one or two of the ginger snaps in my mouth when I start to feel hungry and I can make it another couple hours without being hungry. With a history of diabetes in my family I struggle HORRIBLY to keep my weight under control with a serious workout routine and watching what I eat like a fanatic. With exercise and diet I average one pound or less a month. As it were, I had injured myself and had been unable to do my usual exercise routine, but had my newly-found cookies to keep me company. Low and behold I lost 5 lbs in the last three weeks!
How do I buy these things online ? !!! I thought I had something here with this website, but I don't see any links to BUY anything. What's up with that?
Wife Kimberly and I shop at TJ's all of the time; all of us must agree we do so to get the best of natural and organic foods possible. I always make a trip to the cookie section to pick up a tub of my favorite "Triple Ginger Snaps" cookies. I was reading the ingredients label and love that fact that I can pronounce the stuff. But I was wondering about the eggs used; are they from hormone induced chickens or the good ole natural chickens? Just a thought. Never the less, we love JT’s for our food sections.
These cookies are intense! It really does seem that they put in triple the original amount of ginger added to the traditional cookie. The result making them pretty spicy; make sure you have lots of water when you eat them (or milk). Pretty darn good though. I just wouldn't buy them again.

I always liked ginger cookies, but hated that most store brands had more "snap" than ginger. The triple ginger cookies have an awesome flavor and are crisp, but not overly crispy. I buy a tub every time I visit TJs

Have to admit if one's ginger tastes run only to 'mild' these aren't the cookies to buy. I'd never thought of ginger as an acquired taste but guess so...just happy to see so many ginger lovers here, especially for the TJ Triple Ginger Snaps. I looked for ginger snaps like I was accustomed to in the UK and could never find any to quite hit the taste bud...most here have more molasses and not enough ginger. The TJ GS...joy of joys!...are the best I've ever had! No TJ less than about two hours away from us but my other half, I just learned, picked up six tubs today..Yaaaay! Every month my order grows when I know she is heading for her monthly meetings up north. And they are MINE, all MINE...(she doesn't care for them much). And guess what...crush them if making a cheesecake, add a little melted butter and bake your crust. My fav is the ginger crust with mandarin oranges in the cheesecake mix/decorating the top. Yummy! Otherwise, four cookies to dunk in a cup of coffee (aided and abetted by additional chunks of crystallized ginger I buy...decadent, purely decadent.

These are my favorite TJ cookie, and simply the best ginger cookie out there! I love the little bits of candied ginger. Get a small ice cream scoop and make tiny ginger ice cream sandwiches! Delish!

I try to branch out and buy other TJ's tub cookies, but I keep coming back to these. My coworkers make sure I keep buying more--they disappear awfully quickly!
