I do indeed love my mother, and since I couldn't be with her this Mother's Day, I figured the next best thing would be to honor her remotely by eating a Mother's Day cookie.
Sadly, this Mother's Day cookie wasn't quite as perfect as the mother it stood in for.
The pink icing was a weird tough sheet with a quite chewy texture that I can't say I've ever encountered elsewhere. It was unique, and I liked it, but it didn't seem to have
any discernible flavor.
By contrast, the lettering was
still gooey and soft 3 days after purchase. Since I first tucked into this cookie when I had a cold (not the best circumstances to adequately judge food,) I saved part of it to eat later when I could review it more fairly. And 13 days after
purchase, the icing was
still soft. It had the texture of mayonnaise, and the flavor of...sweet nothing?
Well, at least I can be thankful it was not mayonnaise. But there was
far too much of it to get away with being
so tasteless.
Especially for someone who likes to break off
little pieces of cookie one at a time, this was a messy
cookie to eat. The gooey lettering got all over my hands, and the pink
sheet did not stay attached to the cookie whenever I broke it, typically
falling back onto the cookie and its mess of frostingaise.
The
cookie itself walked the border between crunchy and chewy. It was fine,
as far as sugar cookie bases go, but much like the frosting, it seemed
to have no flavor except a tiny hint of butteriness.
All in all, I feel this cookie sends the message, "Mom, you're sweet, but kind of bland."
The Bottom Line:
| Taste: |  |
| Texture: | |
| Price: | (2.28¢ per gram) |
