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

Hi, everyone. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to accept this Cookie of the Year award on behalf of Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Butterfinger Baking Bits Cookies. They couldn\u2019t be here because…well, because I ate all of them.<\/p>\n

First off, I\u2019d just like to congratulate and thank the other nominees. I\u2019m not really sure who any of you are, because this award is entirely made up by Nestle Toll House, but you all did a great job this year and should feel really proud. Except for you, Swedish Fish Oreos. You were not nominated for this fake award and you should be ashamed of yourselves.<\/p>\n

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

Next, I want to thank \u201cbreak and bake\u201d technology. Thanks to you, making sugary, fattening cookies is SO much easier! No more worrying about whether I have enough flour on hand or if the eggs have expired\u2026I can just open the package, break the premade dough along its perforations, and 10-11 minutes later I have some perfectly baked cookies. And another 10-11 minutes later, I have a stomach ache from inhaling those perfectly baked cookies.<\/p>\n

The sugar cookie dough is really what made this whole thing possible. It\u2019s sweet and buttery, with just a hint of floury goodness. Its performance doesn\u2019t take any risks, but it doesn\u2019t have to. It\u2019s the same sugar cookie flavor we know and love from Nestle Toll House–a real classic.<\/p>\n

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

The Butterfinger Baking Bits did a pretty good job in the starring role, too. Their stick-to-your-teeth presence is definitely noticeable, and shows their peanut buttery range through a dynamic sweet and salty combination. As enjoyable as that peanut butter element aspect is, I really wish there had been more of it from start to finish. It just popped up here and there, upstaged by the fantastic sugar cookie dough. But those occasional cameos are really satisfying when they do happen.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got to say, I\u2019m a little surprised that the milk chocolate took such a minor role in this whole project. When it\u2019s there, it\u2019s creamy and sweet, but I was hoping for a lot more of it. When I think of Butterfingers, I think of a crispy peanut butter center enveloped in a creamy milk chocolate coating. This cookie nailed the peanut butter part, but didn\u2019t quite reach its full milk chocolate potential. With a better peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio, I have no doubt this cookie would go down as one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n

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

Having said that, Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Butterfinger Baking Bits Cookies wouldn\u2019t have won this award without good reason (okay, actually, they did). The sugar cookie dough does an incredible job carrying the cookie, and the Butterfinger Baking Bits mimic the inside of a Butterfinger candy bar quite well. The milk chocolate flavor is a bit underwhelming, but hey, not everybody can be the star of the show. Let\u2019s all raise a glass of milk to the 2016 Cookie of the Year: Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Butterfinger Baking Bits Cookies.<\/p>\n

Thank you for allowing me the honor of devouring them.<\/p>\n
