News of the cookie tray's arrival has been spreading online as quickly as a Christmas tree can catch fire, as customers express their feelings about the popular return product. “Perfect for your next holiday party,” @costcodeals captioned a post shared to Instagram regarding the delectable cookie offering. “I need a full tray of just the sprinkles cookie,” one customer exclaimed.
