Stars: 3 out of 5
Pros: Delicious pumpkin flavor in a soft, moist cookie
Cons: No cheesecake
flavor at all
The Bottom Line:
Pumpkin part is great
But there is no cheesecake taste
Good disappointment
I was recently in my local Wal-Mart, and I spotted a display
of Pepperidge Farm cookies, including some limited edition kinds. Never being one to pass up limited edition
cookies, I had to give them a try. One
of those I bought were the Pumpkin Cheesecake cookies. I like them, but they sure don't live up to
their name.
You can tell right away how good these cookies will taste by
how wonderful they smell. Yes, as soon
as you open the package, you can smell the delicious pumpkin flavor. And make no mistake about it, these cookies
absolutely do taste wonderful. The spicy
pumpkin flavor is delicious, although if you don't like pumpkin, that certainly
isn't a selling point. And the soft
texture is delightful.
However, these have cheesecake in their name, and that was a
big selling point to me. I love
cheesecake. And these cookies have white
pieces of something in them. These white
pieces are certainly sweet. But there is
no way in the world anyone will mistake them for cheesecake. They could just as easily be white chocolate.
And considering the price that Pepperidge Farm cookies go
for (I paid close to $3.00 for this package of 8 cookies), they really should
taste like their name, don't you think?
These are cookies, so don't be expecting anything nutritious
about them. One cookie has 130 calories,
40 of them from fat. There is a tiny bit
of Calcium and Iron in them, but not enough to really count. That's not surprising when you look at the
ingredient list and see flour, sugar, oil, butter, and more sugar as the first
few ingredients.
