Little Dutch Maid Almond Windmill Cookie, 10-Ounce (Pack of 12)

Excellent product good price.

My husband loves to have these cookies with coffee or milk. He tells me that his grandmother used to give him these cookies with milk after school. Now we are carrying on that tradition with the grandkids. The lightly spiced flavor of these cookies makes them a comforting snack.

The packaging says Almond Windmill cookies. The cookies I have bought in the past has small slivers of almond in them. These had no almonds at all. I was very disappointed.

I’ll admit it, I’m a chocoholic and rarely see the point in a snack or dessert missing that key ingredient. These cookies are my one big exception. Maybe it’s the nostalgic experience of nibbling at the windmill, or maybe it’s the slightly spicy crunch, but I do love these cookies. I also thrill to the challenge of dipping the edge in hot tea just long enough to soften the cookie but not so long as to leave a soggy mess at the bottom of the cup. With all the recent supply chain disruptions, our local shops have been out of these cookies for months. I was thrilled to find them on Amazon and in a quantity that should hold us until the world sorts out it’s issues.

I thought these cookie would have almond bits in them. Paid too much. I could have gotten a pack at the dollar tree. Same brand for $1.25 per pack instead of 12 packs for $33.

These cookies are a good buy for the price as long as you know what to expect. They are a dry, very mild spice cookie. The almond flavoring is very faint (as is the spice). The ingredients list mentions among the minor ingredients almond butter and 'less than 2%' almond meal. You don't get the burst of flavorful spices that you would with a premium windmill cookie or 'speculaas.' They are more like the flavor and consistency of animal crackers with a hint of spice. That said, I especially enjoy eating them with ice cream and would buy again.

Out of all the package of cookies at least four to five of them were broken so other than that tastes good

Well, I knew the cookies and enjoyed them very much. I had to purchase them on-line because the local store stopped carrying them. Their lose.
