"This isn't your ordinary cookie tray, of course. In true Costco fashion, this tray boasts a whopping 60 cookies total, with five distinct flavors: butter pecan, chocolate chip, toffee sandy, coconut almond chunk, and red velvet. Though Costco has dropped holiday cookie packs in the past, the flavors for the 2025 tray are different from previous years - and, dare I say, better than ever."
"When ranking the five cookies, I paid close attention to which ones served up the most satisfying flavors, not just in terms of sweetness, but also regarding chocolatey goodness, richness, or perhaps even nuttiness. Texture was also an important factor, as a good cookie flavor is only fully successful if it's got a perfectly chewy, soft-but-not-too-soft texture to back it up."
The 2025 Costco holiday cookie tray contains 60 cookies across five flavors: butter pecan, chocolate chip, toffee sandy, coconut almond chunk, and red velvet. The tray retails for $24.99. Each flavor was evaluated and ranked based on overall flavor satisfaction, sweetness balance, chocolate intensity, richness, nuttiness, and texture. Texture expectations emphasized a perfectly chewy, soft-but-not-too-soft bite. None of the cookies were considered bad, though some flavors clearly prevailed. The toffee sandy cookie sits in the tray center, features festive sprinkles, and presents strong visual appeal that can lead to it being mistaken for a sugar cookie.
