Shortly after my macaroni lunch at Epcot Center, I picked up a chocolate chip cookie at the Norway Pavilion.
By
this time I was no longer hungry, but I couldn't resist the temptation
to get a Giant Cookie at such an exotic locale. So I did, wrapping it in
a napkin, folding part of the paper plate over it, stuffing it in my
purse, and hoping for the best. I carried it around with me for the rest
of the day, through Mexico, FutureWorld, and the land of
Imagination...dragging it along on my ferry ride to the Magic
Kingdom...shoving it into my suitcase for my trip back to DC...and
keeping it in a drawer at home for a couple more days.
This
is what it looked like when I finally ate it.
Having survived that much
abuse, my Norway cookie shouldn't be faulted for not being at its peak
of deliciousness, but...the taste didn't do much for me. There was
something slightly chemical about it. Maybe it absorbed too many fumes
from my sunscreen. I'll give it the benefit of a doubt.
Texture, similarly, was acceptable, but not exceptional.
The
white medallion at the center, probably this cookie's one point of
distinction, didn't really do anything to enhance, being a bit soft and
not having any noticeable flavor.
Unsurprisingly for a cookie bought at an amusement park, it was kind of pricey (but could have been worse), weighing in at 100 grams (give or take; it's hard to accurately weigh a cookie which has lost a portion of its mass in your purse) and costing $2.59, or 2.6¢ per gram.
All in all, another run-of-the-mill Giant Cookie to scratch off my list.Unsurprisingly for a cookie bought at an amusement park, it was kind of pricey (but could have been worse), weighing in at 100 grams (give or take; it's hard to accurately weigh a cookie which has lost a portion of its mass in your purse) and costing $2.59, or 2.6¢ per gram.
The Bottom Line:
| Taste: |  |
| Texture: |  |

Sad to hear that your cookie didn't hold up through your journey.
