\"Dunkin\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember when Cookie Monster was able to do whatever the hell he wanted. Cookies were a breakfast, cookies were a condiment, and if he wanted to sit in the greenroom scarfing down cookies like Joey Chestnut does hot dogs on the 4th of July, nobody was gonna kill his vibe. C was for cookie, and that was good enough for him.<\/p>\n

Then after 40 years of letting him live like a free man, PBS had to get parental and alter his diet to reflect more moderate and healthy lifestyle choices. Through clenched teeth, the Cookie Monster was forced to declare that cookies were really just a \u201csometimes\u201d food and that eggplant was cool too.<\/p>\n

Now that The Man has killed his one pride and joy, I\u2019m guessing you can find Cookie Monster spending every off the clock hour in a Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, inhaling these Cookie Dough Iced Coffees to try to get back the feeling of his lost love.<\/p>\n

These probably do not taste enough like cookie dough to completely fill the void, but they do taste close enough to temporarily soothe the heartbreak.<\/p>\n

I was excited to try this new Baskin-Robbins inspired Dunkin\u2019 Donuts product, not just because the two names fit easily into my accent that makes me drop the g\u2019s at the end of my -ing verbs. I also was desperate to know what their interpretation of the cookie dough flavor would be. Earlier this year, the world brought us Cookie Dough Oreo cookies, and the overwhelming Internet consensus seemed to be that they tasted like coffee. So I was perplexed. Would this Cookie Dough Iced Coffee also taste like coffee? Would it taste like an Oreo?<\/p>\n

No, but the people over at Dunkin\u2019 have a better handle on the cookie dough flavor than the folks at Nabisco (although I would not have been disappointed had this tasted like an Oreo.) I can\u2019t say that I would\u2019ve immediately recognized this as cookie dough in a blind taste test. However, in my opinion the cookie dough experience is like 75 percent texture, so I don\u2019t think I\u2019d recognize anything as immediately having the flavor. When told that this is a Cookie Dough Iced Coffee, I have no trouble believing them.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

The drink has a strong vanilla flavor, with a little bit of a chocolate aftertaste. It is very sweet, but I find that this is much more tolerable in cold coffee drinks than hot ones. You could probably ask for less syrup if you were inclined. I did not, since I also ordered it with skim milk, and already felt high maintenance enough for my local Dunkin\u2019 Donuts that is tucked inside of a gas station.<\/p>\n

Sadly, I do not live near a Baskin-Robbins, so I could not try the corresponding Cookie Dough Ice Cream and compare the two. I think you could probably do something great with the two together though. At one of my first jobs I learned that ice cream makes for an incredible coffee creamer, so I imagine that the combination of the coffee and the ice cream it was inspired by would be unreal. Your blood sugar would probably describe the spike it would get in the same way.<\/p>\n

All in all, this is good, and I will probably order it again. It is not ice cream or actual cookie dough, but it is relatively close and is disguised as something acceptable to be having at 9 a.m. Stay strong, Cookie Monster, and keep drinking the iced coffees. They\u2019ll never know the truth.<\/p>\n

\nSize:<\/b> 16 fl oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Dunkin\u2019 Donuts

\nPros:<\/b> Actually tastes reminiscent of cookie dough. Baskin-Robbins Dunkin\u2019 Donuts is fun to say five times fast. Cold and sweet and refreshing. You can feel like you\u2019re having cookie dough ice cream while everyone else thinks you\u2019re a responsible adult. The Cookie Monster that didn\u2019t answer to anyone. Caffeine boosts.
\nCons:<\/b> Potentially obnoxious coffee shop orders. Lack of Oreo flavored iced coffee. The plight of The Cookie Monster. Blood sugar spikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
