Nice tin, good cookies
The tin measures exactly what is stated in the Package Dimensions: 8.31" x 5.39" x 2.44". I received 33 cookies. with 11 cookies in each of 3 cellophane packages. Mine weighed 14.4 oz (411 grams).I did not receive the tin that is shown. Mine was a much lighter blue. It was nice enough, but I was expecting the one shown.The packaging was great. The tin itself was bubble wrapped and then placed in a sturdy box. This box was placed in an Amazon plastic shipping bag. The tin had no dents but there are a couple of cracked cookies as you can see in the photo. This is expected with shipped cookies.As for the taste of the cookies I would like to recommend that you read the description before you purchase. Taken from their description "Originally called Speculaas, these spicy windmill cookies were traditionally baked just before St. Nicholas' feast in the Netherlands. Crisp and incredibly flavorful, the authentic Dutch spice cookies are made with fresh cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom and nutmeg, baked to crunchy perfection. I read a few negative reviews that seem as if the purchaser did not know what they were ordering. "Dry and crumbly" are mentioned in some comments. This is not supposed to be a soft cookie. This type of cookie has been around for a very long time and many of us have eaten them in our childhood. They are also not a shortbread cookie. You can ignore those negative reviews. The cookies were very good. I've never had the homemade ones, but these were very good for commercially baked cookies. I buy this type of cookie each year around the holidays from different stores and this was my first from this company, and they were very good. They are made in Holland and I think they know what they are doing. Enjoy the cookies and the nice tin that you can use afterwards.

Not quite the flavor I was expecting
Being familiar with Archer Windmill cookies, these are smaller and more crumbly, and the flavor is just not as spiced. I love the tin and will be buying other cookies to refill it. The branding is on the plastic film, not directly on the product, which I greatly appreciate since the tin is so nice.

Yummy
The cookies are cute. They have a pattern on them, (2 sailors). They taste kinda like a cinnamon grand cracker. I think they would be an excellent gift. The Tin box is beautiful and has a hinged lid. I will buy again! You get 33 cookies. They are about 2x1-1/2 inches, I did not have a ruler, simi-guess- fits in my palm. Cookies are fresh. Excellent to eat alone or with tea or coffee, or ice cream. 😁

Tastes like home
Grew up in Holland (MI) and these were a staple growing up. Nostalgia brought these back to me. So obviously I'm a bit biased.The tin is sweet. The cookies taste great. To be fair some arrived broken but whatever they still tasted good. I'd definitely buy these again.

The Tin is absolutley beautiful
The metal tin is gorgeous, I will keep this from now on. The cookies have very little taste. They are styled after Old timey cookies from back when I was younger. The taste leaves ALOT to be desired and they are hard. Not happy with the order. We kept the Tin but trashed the cookies. I'll keep looking for better cookie.

Like the Taste
I was not sure about the taste until I tried one. It was better then I expected, not to strong, just the right crunch. Great with hot coco and the tin looks really nice.

Not as pictured
Product tin and cookies are good but I ordered this item specifically for the tin pictured. No where on the sellers page does it say there is any variation in picture on tin. For over $25 a tin there should be a clearer explanation of that.
