With the number of Oreo flavors debuting recently I hope that doesn\u2019t mean either entity has reached their popularity now that they have joined forces. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Limited-Edition-Waffles-Syrup-Oreo-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=640%2C426\" alt=\"Limited Edition Waffles  Syrup Oreo Cookies 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Waffles &#038; Syrup Oreo Cookies 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cookie has the familiar Golden ones as the sandwich pieces with most of the usual white cream for the interior. What sets this one apart is the dollop of brown tinted cream right in the middle of the cream filling.<\/p>\n<p>Cracking open the package I immediately got a whiff of a graham\/honey smell like ordinary graham crackers. Since I knew these were syrup flavored I could kind of smell the maple in there but if I didn\u2019t know that was the flavor then I probably would have never ever guessed it. Not a good sign of what\u2019s to come. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Limited-Edition-Waffles-Syrup-Oreo-Cookies-2.jpg?resize=640%2C533\" alt=\"Limited Edition Waffles  Syrup Oreo Cookies 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Waffles &#038; Syrup Oreo Cookies 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My first few bites just reminded me of regular Golden Oreo cookies. The maple flavor comes in a little bit towards the end, however, it was faint and, again, would have never picked up on it on my own. <\/p>\n<p>Honestly, as I got through my first full cookie, I was kind of disappointed. I tried the components on their own but it didn\u2019t help. These just tasted like Golden Oreos that someone in the factory accidentally let too much sugar fall in the mixer.<\/p>\n<p>You are probably wondering where the waffles in the name comes into play? <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still pondering that actually. Were there any butter notes? Not really. A fluffy but crunchy nature to chewing? Nope. As you can see on the outside, they couldn\u2019t even make the cookies indented with squares as that would at least make them look like waffle pieces! <\/p>\n<p>After having a few more cookies, desperately seeking waffle flavor, I decided to succumb to the fact that it wasn\u2019t there and that these were just okay. Other Oreo cookies I usually like coming back to over and over again but these were so cloyingly sweet, I didn\u2019t really have the desire. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe someone can offer up Waffles &#038; Syrup for the new Oreo flavor contest that was just announced.
