Almost Perfection with Chips Ahoy! Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
My curiosity about the Chips Ahoy! Ice Cream Creations
cookies lead me to buy three of them when I first saw them in the stores. Of those, the Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies met
my expectations the most. Not saying
there isn't room for improvement, but from looking at the package, I got just
what I expected.
These are soft (chewy in Chips Ahoy! speak) chocolate
cookies. Inside, they come with
chocolate chips and mint pieces. The
result is a flavor that is very close to mint chocolate chip ice cream, which
is obviously what they were going for.
I saw very close because the chocolate tends to overwhelm
the mint. I'm not saying you can't taste
it because it is definitely there. I'm
just saying that I wish it were stronger.
It is stronger in the better mint chocolate chip ice creams out
there. And yes, I know I'm complaining
about abundance of chocolate flavor in something. Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate. I just wish there were more mint here.
Two cookies provide you with 140 calories, 50 of which are
from fat. There's nothing nutritious
about them. (I know that was a news
flash to me.) The ingredients are the
standard wheat, butter, oil, and chocolate you'd expect.
So, naturally, these should not be part of your normal
diet. (I really eat too much junk
food.) But the Chips Ahoy! Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are absolutely something I will be buying again.
