I would not normally eat the Mrs. Field’s cookies, but I was craving a sweet one day and these were in the kitchen, so I caved! I took the red box of 8 individually wrapped cookies and grabbed one of these:

I’m not at all new to the world of Mrs. Field’s. And if my tone didn’t show it already, but I’m not a huge fan of these cookies. It’s hard to explain why: they are delicious. Even if they are baked 6 months ago and thrown on the supermarket shelves to sit and wait for me to eat them, they are still soft, moist, and chewy. They are so tasty, so buttery. The cookies have a genuine homemade bumpiness on top and are not flat like other mass-manufactured cookies. The chocolate chips retain that highly sought-after gooeynessthat you don’t experience just anywhere. Speaking of chocolate chips, they are not lacking in that category:

So, why do I dislike them? Because they have like 300 calories each. And it’s not because they are huge. I mean, they aren’t small either, but they do have more calories for their size than average. Upon closer inspection I also found out that they contain hydrogenated oils / margarine and high fructose corn syrup. I realize I’m not eating cookies for health reasons, but even I still have standards!

All in all, I would eat this cookie RARELY when I am DESPERATE. I like to keep my hydrogenated oils and HFCSs at a minimum, so eating this wouldn’t be horrible on occasion.

• Taste: Delicious. 10
• Crust and center moistness: The wrapper keeps these cookies VERY moist. 10
• Value: $3.99 for a box of 8. $0.50 ea. great deal! 10
• Overall: High calories, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup make me not want to eat it. But I suppose that’s why these are so tasty. 7 for me, but a must-buy for those who don’t care. Can’t lose with Mrs. Field’s!
