\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I received the news that my fantasy baseball team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, I\u2019ve been beating myself up a little bit. I mean, me, a three-time champion in the seven-year existence of The Super Best Friend\u2019s League, missing the playoffs? That\u2019s something that sad losers do, not Trevor. I honestly think it may be one of the first signs of the apocalypse. Now maybe, just maybe it isn\u2019t end of the world-related, but just to be safe I\u2019d keep an eye out for rivers running red with blood, swarms of locusts, The Four Horsemen, and seven angels with trumpets.<\/p>\n

With the recent hardship and possible apocalypse looming, I was in need of a pick-me-up. I sought it in the form of Pizza Hut\u2019s Ultimate Hershey\u2019s Chocolate Chip Cookie.<\/p>\n

Now being in the ultimate state of depression I was in, my dumbass forgot to buy milk before ordering the cookie. When I got it back to my apartment, I didn\u2019t want to lose out on the just-from-the-oven taste of the cookie, so I settled for no milk. This joins drafting Tampa Bay Rays Outfielders Wil Myers and Desmond Jennings on my recent list of regrets.<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

The first thing I notice about the Ultimate Cookie when I open the box is that it\u2019s just a cookie cake without frosting. I\u2019m not sure why I was expecting it to be a giant cookie. Pizza Hut should really put \u201ccake\u201d at the end of the title to avoid confusion. I was really hoping for a giant cookie, the kind that Paul Bunyan would eat. But alas, it was cut into eight pieces, thus becoming a cake and not one cookie.<\/p>\n

The best part about this dish is the heavy amount of Hershey\u2019s chocolate. It\u2019s made with semi-sweet chocolate chips and they were melty and delicious, kind of like Hershey\u2019s chocolate in a s\u2019more.<\/p>\n

The cookie was good, but I wanted a lot more. My mother makes my brother and I cookie cakes for our birthdays every year, so my standards are a bit inflated, but I was still a bit disappointed. It didn\u2019t have enough of that salty-sweet that I look for in a cookie cake. But I guess that\u2019s why it\u2019s not called a cookie cake.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tasty cookie, but it will dry out your mouth. You won\u2019t die if you order the cookie and don\u2019t have any milk on hand but at the same time you will miss out on a lot of the experience.<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

I ate four of the eight slices while it was still fresh and after a full day had passed I went back to see how it held up to the test of time. I had put it in plastic wrap and in the cupboard and it really was not worth keeping. The cookie\u2019s flavor is dependent on it being warm. It\u2019s not like when you make a batch of your favorite chocolate chip cookies and they will still be good for a few days. It makes you realize how average the cookie part is and that without melty chocolate chips, it\u2019s really nothing special.<\/p>\n

I really wish there was a frosting on it. It\u2019s just a cookie cake somebody forgot to finish decorating. It\u2019s like they got three-quarters of the way there and said, \u201cAh, good enough.\u201d It\u2019s not essential for the taste or anything, though it would be better, but it\u2019s really confusing looking at a frosting-less cookie cake.<\/p>\n

This giant cookie is decent, but like your friend who only wears jeans and a t-shirt whenever you go out, it needs something more to reach it\u2019s true potential.<\/p>\n
