In a last minute Sunday night run for a few food essentials,
I was on a quest to find a package of the golden and chocolate sandwich style
cookie for packed lunches for the upcoming week. Meijer ran a sale for a
generous size package for $2.00. This
small purchase seemed like a deal so I opted to pick up them up and give it a
try.
The cookies count totals about fifty two to a package. The
total weight is one pound eight ounces; plenty of cookies to last, hopefully. I
am a big fan of the Hydrox and Oreo style cookies so I was upbeat about this purchase.
The cookies are sold in thin plastic tray at three rows of
approximately fourteen cookies with a thin plastic semi transparent wrapper.
The wrapper is cheap and non re-sealable much like the Oreo brand. I believe
Oreo might be the only sandwich cookie I am aware of that has a cool
re-sealable wrapper to keep the cookies fresh. I proceeded to move all cookie
contents into our jumbo cookie jar to prevent them from going stale.
The cost of these cookies is tough to beat as they averaged
at about four cents per cookie. The two cookie serving is what we pack in the
lunches at a pittance cost of eight cents. Not too shabby. The value is
definitely there, but is the flavor?
Taste of Sandwich crèmes.
Ok. The first test was the chocolate cookie. Nothing like an
Oreo. The cookie disintegrated upon first bite with bits flying everywhere all
over my mouth and onto my desk. The cookie itself really didn’t exhibit any
cocoa or chocolate flavor. The golden cookie held a little more vanilla flavor
but still not a lot going on there. The only upside to this cookie was the crème
filling which tasted surprisingly decent.
The cookie is barely passable, but would consider going with
these again if considering grinding up and using as a cheesecake liner or a cookie
pie crust.
I rate the Meijer Sandwich Cremes a weak purchase.
