I\u2019m not sure why the award committee keeps inviting me back to make these speeches on behalf of a cookie. I guess they must believe in the old adage, \u201cyou are what you eat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*crickets*<\/p>\n<p>Yeesh. Tough crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Let me be clear, folks. This isn\u2019t an envelope mix-up, like that \u201cLa La Land\u201d and \u201cMoonlight\u201d fiasco. Believe it or not, Nestle Toll House\u2019s Chocolate Fudge Pretzel cookie dough really did beat out other contenders like <a href=http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/08\/10\/review-limited-edition-pbj-oreo-cookies><\/a>PB&#038;J Oreo for the Cookie of the Year award. Sorry, PB&#038;J Oreo.

The 11-12 minutes it took to fully bake this project took longer than those \u201cstraight-to-plate\u201d cookies, but these guys were nothing but professional.<\/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\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Cookie-of-the-Year-Chocolate-Fudge-Pretzel-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 3\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For all of you drama fans out there, Nestle Toll House Chocolate Fudge Pretzel cookies are set against a dark backdrop&#8230;of chocolate, that is. The chocolate cookie dough steals the show with a perfectly rich cocoa flavor. Like Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson, it\u2019s the kind of role player that you can build a franchise around.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the milk chocolate morsels. They add a sweeter, creamier element throughout. It can be hard to stand out when one of your co-stars is so dominant, but the milk chocolate morsels play off of the chocolate cookie dough really well.<\/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\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Cookie-of-the-Year-Chocolate-Fudge-Pretzel-4.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 4\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pretzel pieces are a welcome addition to the cast, too. They\u2019re salty, floury, and retain a good crunch. But if I\u2019m being honest, they can be pretty erratic. Some cookies have a lot of them, and others hardly have any. It would be nice to see some consistency from those pretzel prima donnas.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you in the audience might look at these Chocolate Fudge Pretzel cookies and think, \u201cthey could use something more, like caramel.\u201d But I\u2019ve got to disagree with you. Adding another ingredient here would be like Michael Bay\u2019s use of explosions -\u2014 excessive.<\/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\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Cookie-of-the-Year-Chocolate-Fudge-Pretzel-5.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 5\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year Chocolate Fudge Pretzel 5.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once again, the Nestle Toll House Cookie of the Year is a real winner.
