Day 2

Thin Bites: White Fudge Dipped Oreo vs Lemon Oreo

Winner: Lemon Oreosssssssss

Thin Bites: White Fudge Dipped Oreo

• first bite: ok this is interesting. so many flavors at once! very strong on the white fudge coating which makes me think im eating those white fudge pretzels but then oops here comes a chocolate cookie not a pretzel. then back to fudge then cookie again. my mouth is TIRED.
• just cookie: you should all be impressed with my level of dedication as i went and got a knife to do this. ooooo cookie and fudge is lovely. excellent balance.
• just filling: my teeth are too strong and keep breaking the cookie instead of scrapping off the filling. knife to the rescue again. just filling is so smol! just a hint of sugar.
• dipped in beverage: ha this is just weird. it just slides right off the coating. even if I bite it in two theres so little cookie to absorb the milk it doesnt work.
• last bite: the fudge is very very tasty though it tends to overwhelm the cookie underneath. good if you like white fudge (which I do).

Lemon Oreo

• first bite: F*CK YES LEMON COOKIE. this is what I’m talking about about!
• just cookie: basically a sugar cookie. kinda like a shortbread? maybe? I miss the filling
• just filling: omg I can feeeeel the sugar hit the bloodstream. but it comes on a boat of lemony goodness and so the bloodstream is riding the sunshiney sugar
• dipped in beverage: hmmmm milk is kinda ok? but also it tones down my lemon vibe and that makes me sad. no squishy lemons in my world please.
• last bite: why is the cookie gone?! bring me more cookies!!

Day 1

Shady Maple Farms Stroopwafels vs Simple Truth Thin & Crispy Lemon Cookies

Winner: Stroopwafels!

Stroopwafels scoring

• smell: whoa opening the box smelled just like I was pouring syrup all over the counter
• first bite: huh I would have actually expected it to be much more maple syrup than it is. nope, there it goes.
• second bite: ok im just eating a pancake in cookie form. its now a warm waffle dripping with syrup. which is hella good but also my brain be breaking. dipping in beverage: nope that was not a good combo with coffee. the bitterness does not do well with the syrupness.
• last bite: my cookie is drying out? going cold? getting more crumbly and I keep dropping bits on my lapcat. fingers: slight crumbs but not bad. warming over coffee I think actually softened it and stopped the crumbs. interesting.

Lemon cookies scoring

• smell: very slight lemony vibe but I had to stick my nose on it, so now its contaminated
• first bite: awww yeah this is a quality cookie. very crispy with that excellent crystallized sugar crunch but not as much lemon as I would want.
• second bite: getting more lemon happening now, but it’s still small. mostly crunchy sugar.
• dipped in beverage: a coffee dunk actually tones down the sugar, which is good! highly suggest.
• last bite: excellent cookie which I would happily eat again. however it never reached the lemon vibe I want. fingers: whoa this is a crumbly cookie. I keep having to brush my fingers over the plate to control the little cookie bits.
