Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter - 14.1 oz

If Trader Joe's has one true signature product, this is it. Speculoos are Belgium's caramelized spice biscuits — cinnamon, nutmeg, that almost-gingerbread warmth — and Cookie Butter is those cookies baked, crushed, and blended into a spread. It looks like peanut butter; it tastes like cookies.

It has spawned an entire product universe at TJ and topped customer-favorite polls for over a decade — the single most-requested Trader Joe's item among people who can't shop there.

• Straight off the spoon — the honest first use
• Toast, bagels, and croissants
• Apple slices and pretzel dip
• Warmed over vanilla ice cream
• Baked into cookies-on-cookies desserts

This one's a good fit if

• First-time TJ customers — start here
• Cinnamon-spice dessert lovers
• Gift-box builders
• The already-converted restocking

This is the Trader Joe's item — the one that made international headlines, the one expats ask visiting friends to pack. It has never had Korean distribution, which makes it the anchor product of any TJ direct-import store.

A Trader Joe's store exclusive with no official Korean distribution.

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

All orders are processed as personal-use overseas purchases, which means they clear Korean customs without requiring KC certification. Shipments are handled using your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) for full transparency, and you can track your parcel through the Korea Customs Service UNI-PASS portal at any time.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Yes. Every item is purchased directly from Trader Joe's stores in the US, inspected, and then shipped — 100% authentic.

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.

1. Choose your option and complete your order. A Personal Customs Code (개인통관고유부호) is required.
2. We purchase your item from a US store and inspect its condition.
3. Your order ships by air and goes through Korean customs.
4. As soon as it clears customs, it's delivered to your door by domestic courier.
