Aldi’s Popular Fall Cookies Just Made Their Way Back To Shelves

The leaves may be starting to disappear from the trees outside, but they’re just now beginning to make their presence known inside Aldi stores. No, we’re not talking about actual foliage, but rather, the grocer’s highly popular Maple Leaf Crème Cookies, which have officially landed in store for the 2022 fall season. The limited-edition product was spotted this week by Aldi fan Instagram account @adenturesinaldi, who excitedly alerted followers of their return in a post on September 14.

“I feel like maple is such a fabulous fall flavor that is often overlooked,” the Instagrammer wrote — though it doesn’t seem like Aldi shoppers are breezing by these sandwich cookies on the shelves. “Yes! So do not leave without them,” Instagram user @vettechbuckeye commented. “Got these yesterday!! So so good! Get them NOW!!” encouraged another fan, while a third claimed they were “obsessed” with the seasonal treat.

The hype is clearly real around Benton’s Maple Leaf Crème Cookies, though we can understand if you’re a bit hesitant to give them a try. Aldi Reviewer was, as well. However, after finally picking up a box, they said they had no regrets. “The cookie is buttery and crisp, and the creme filling has a light but not overwhelming maple flavor,” they explained in their 2020 review of the “satisfyingly large cookies.” The blogger also recommended pairing them with a hot seasonal beverage for a heightened eating experience.
