Food news and some "crazy cookie"
crazy cookie $2.50
So I broke down and got a cookie from Jane The Bakery, but not just any cookie, the "crazy cookie." A mix of chocolate chips, marshmallows and corn flakes. It could just as easily be called the "I just smoked a bowl and am really craving something sweet and crunchy" but that is just a bit too long to print out. It is a standard brown sugar cookie base like on most chocolate chips and they have elevated it up in sweetness with the marshmallow and corn flakes that tasted like the frosted version. It is a big cookie for the price so kudos on that. Taste wise it is definitely sweet and sticky though the crunch of flake got a little soft and lost. Plus it was on the thin side and didn't exactly hold together like a normal cookie. The marshmallow also seemed to have cooked down to a point where it was more caramelized than chewy. I also thought it could have used more chocolate chips in the mix as they seemed few and far between. Ultimately it's all right, but they seem to have so many of things that are better I'd skip it for a regular chocolate chip cookie or possibly even their Cap'n Crunch cookie next time. But don't fret, there is always some food news to tide you over.
