Cookie review

[redbird]

Pepperidge Farm has come up with a chocolate version of their chessmen shortbread cookies. Not chocolate-coated, but chocolate-flavored cookies. (For some reason, I keep wanting to refer to them as "biscuits," though the manufacturer doesn't.) I like the original chessmen, so we bought a package.

They're nothing special: my first thought was "no better than the plain," and cattitude thought they're not as good. On further reflection (and two more cookies a day later) I think he's right.

There's nothing wrong with them, and I expect to finish them, but I won't be buying them again, and I'd recommend against them: get the basic chessmen if you're so inclined.

They're useful, though.

If, say, you wanted to play chess with them.

Yeah, they would make a charming cookie tray for a Mad Hatter party.

Chocolate, cookies

There aren't many chocolate-flavored cookies that really grab me. I much prefer to have my chocolate accent the cookie, rather than flavor the batter.
