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

Sometime during the 1920s, amidst the green oak pines of St. Lambert Country Club in Quebec, a wealthy hotel mogul by the name of David Mulligan tightened his knickers, squared up to the tee, drew his driver back, and proceeded to hit a golf ball directly into a sand trap\u2014on an adjacent hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cShiitake mushroom!\u201d he exclaimed, realizing there were ladies nearby and wishing to abstain from obscenities. \u201cI do believe I shall need a correction shot for that one!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother one!?!\u201d his friend, Rupert T. Bosworth Esquire III bellowed. \u201cMy, you take so many correction shots they ought to just call them mulligans!\u201d<\/p>\n

And so the common term for a do-over was born<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Food companies don\u2019t often get mulligans \u2014- at least not as many as the <\/a>U.S. golfers admit to taking. But then again, companies don\u2019t really deserve second chances, if you ask me. If you\u2019re paying people to engineer delicious, they damn well better engineer delicious the first time around. That or they need a really good reason to try a flavor again.<\/p>\n

In the case of Cookie Dough Oreo Cookies, I\u2019m glad Oreo took a mulligan. It\u2019s not that the 2014 limited edition cookie was bad, but rather that it should have been called \u201cCaramel Latte\u201d Oreos. Such was the intensity of the coffee flavor. But when it came to pure, unadulterated, E. coli-be-damned cookie dough madness, well, Cookie Dough Oreo left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n

The new Limited Edition Choco Chip Oreo leave far less to be desired. This is a cookie that blurs the line between sandwich cookie and chocolate chip cookie like no other, capturing the very best of packaged chocolate chip cookie flavor without forcing you to stop in front of the Chips Ahoy! display and ponder the question chewy or original<\/i>?<\/p>\n

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

The \u201cchoco chip\u201d cookie base, an entirely new conception for Oreo, is crunchy and balanced, with notes of brown sugar and tiny bursts of chocolate. It\u2019s not the greatest representation of a chocolate chip cookie we\u2019ve ever seen in packaged form, but it has a sort of dippable appeal that I\u2019d compare to a chocolate chip Teddy Graham or those old Nabisco Chips Ahoy! 100-calorie pack cookie thins.<\/p>\n

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

Speaking of dippable \u2013- yeah, that\u2019s where the creme center comes in. Where traditional Oreo creme is a bit stiff and grainy, the choco chip cookie creme has a frosting-like smoothness and viscosity to go along with a strong burst of sweetness and an aftertaste of molasses and brown sugar. On its own it\u2019s a bit too<\/i> sweet, but taken in a complete bite with the crunchy wafer, it\u2019s like chomping down on a cookie dough stuffed cookie.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no coffee flavors, and unlike the sometimes disjointed bite of the Cookie Dough Oreo, where the chocolate wafer and coffee creme competed, the flavor of the Choco Chip Oreo is pure chocolate chip cookie. The only downside is predictable: there\u2019s only so much buttery and eggy richness that can be stuffed inside a shelf-stable 14-ounce cookie.<\/p>\n

Choco Chip Oreo Cookies aren’t a hole in one, but I\u2019m okay with that. Sometimes you just gotta admire a straight drive down the fairway, and be content with very good. I mean, it could be worse. You could be eating coffee-flavored cookies out of a sand trap or something. So thank you, Mr. Mulligan, for sucking at golf. This Oreo redo is for you.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Chocolate chip cookie dough meets Duncan Hines frosting. Much more authentic chocolate chip cookie flavor than Cookie Dough Oreo. Second chances in the cookie aisle.
\nCons:<\/b> A bit too sweet. Both the wafer and filling lack eggy and buttery richness. What the fudge is \u201cchoco\u201d anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
