Besides your standardchocolate chip, you’re free to find flavors from big and small brands.
Some cookies made me want to take second and third bites, while others confused me.
Pillsbury Sugar Cookie
Thesesugar cookiescame in a classic log-shaped format.

Without any toppings, they looked pretty boring.
The taste:The sugar cookies were very brittle and crunchy.
They had a buttery flavor and seemed to dissolve in your mouth when you bit in.

Even with decorations, these would not be cookies I’d want to eat again.
This item was priced at $7.99.
The chocolate chunks were different sizessome looked like chips, while others looked like rectangles.

They also had the biggest price tag at $8.99, which made my eyes get round.
The look:These ginormous cookies had a weird grayish color after being baked.
When I broke one apartone serving is half a cookie!there was a nice ooey-gooey chocolate pull.

The taste:These cookies had a strange, synthetic taste to them.
They were also unnecessarily big.
It was too much of a not-so-good thing.

The look:These cookies had a very cake-like appearance.
They were round and dark in colorso much so that it was hard to see the chips!
The taste:These cookies were reminiscent of brownies but had a metallic aftertaste.

If you might eat the usual cookie ingredients, there’s no reason to buy this.
The look:These cookies baked up golden brown.
They were small, with few visible chocolate chips.

Also, they baked up too thin and crunchy (and small) for my liking.
They come 20 to a package and cost me $4.49.
The look:The mini M&Ms made these cookies look fun, colorful, and exciting.

They baked up thin and had a tan base color.
The taste:Thin and crispy, this dough was fine and not overly sweet.
The M&M’s were a plus, but the dough lacked sweetness and flavor.

EatPastry Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
EatPastry’s cookie doughcomes in a container and is vegan.
This one was priced at $5.49.
I did not see a lot of chips.

The peanut butter was delicious without being overwhelmingit tasted like a cookie, not a gob of peanut butter.
My only criticism would be that they needed more chocolate chips!
For $4.49, they can be yours to bake.
The taste:These cookies were crunchy on the outside and chewy inside.
They had just the right amount of chips (a lot of them!)
and the dough was sweet but not overly soreally great.
The taste:Trader Joe’s has done it again.
I would pick up this cookie dough over any classic cookie brands.
The dough was perfect, the chips were plentiful, and the whole thing melded into one sweet bite.
Just add a glass of milk!
