When my mom requested milk and cookies from her [favorite] daughter, I knew I had to buy her the best one I could find (I was instructed to buy chewy). But I was at Trader Joe’s and I’ve had some cookies from there, but not any that I was crazy about. I took a leap of faith and got these:

And boy did I make a great decision!!

The packages advertises “chewy” and I eagerly bit into one. The very first thing I noticed was that it was crunchier on the outside and chewier on the inside — something I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I’ve been eating a lot of same-texture-on-outside-and-middle cookies going on; it was really refreshing to remind me how good a crunchy “crust” can complement a chewy inside. Although on the chewy side, it wasn’t as chewy as i was expecting — probably due to how thin this cookie is:

I’m sure that if this were a thicker cookie that it would be tons chewier. Very moist and not too sweet. I put it in the microwave and it didn’t improve the cookie that much, room temperature is fine. There’s nothing too “special” about this cookie, though, in terms of taste; it’s your standard chocolate chip cookie. Which I’m not opposed to eating.

• Taste: 8
• Crust and center moistness: good crust with soft center; 9
• Value: $4.29 for 12 cookies. Great deal!!
• Overall: Would DEFINITELy buy again during a TJ’s run. 9

There are TONS of cookies at Trader Joe’s. Which one(s) should I try next?
