Then again, the flavor has kind of been growing in popularity so maybe that\u2019s just it too. <\/p>\n<p>The drink has a vanilla base mixed in with a cookie butter syrup and it is topped off with whipped cream and Biscoff cookie crumbles. It is described by Arby\u2019s to be indulgently sweet with cinnamon spice. Following the debut of the Oreos that I thought were fantastic this shake has a tough act to follow.<\/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\/10\/Arbys-Cookie-Butter-Shake-2.jpg?resize=550%2C495&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby s Cookie Butter Shake 2\" title=\"Arby's Cookie Butter Shake 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s off to a good start with the toppings. Even though the whipped cream is your run of the mill type, it happens to be very creamy and goes great with the Biscoff cookie crumbles that shine on the first bite. Arby\u2019s definitely didn\u2019t cut corners with these as going with the well-known Biscoff brand was a great choice. They are crunchy, very buttery, and have a noticeable cinnamon spice flavor at the end. The texture pairs greatly with the soft and fluffy whipped cream. I just wish there were more!<\/p>\n<p>After eating most of the topping, I was excited to dive into the rest of the shake to continue my cookie butter adventure. Unfortunately, though, it was a kind of a letdown. My shake was a bit thick so it was a struggle to get it up through the straw. When I was able to suck it up you can definitely taste the vanilla base but after that it varies a lot between each sip. <\/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\/10\/Arbys-Cookie-Butter-Shake-3.jpg?resize=599%2C384&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby s Cookie Butter Shake 3\" title=\"Arby's Cookie Butter Shake 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I could occasionally pick up some cinnamon and spice, but very faintly. There was definitely a more overt buttery flavor and it was tasty, but a tad too sweet at times. It just needed a little bit more of the spice because all the other flavors related to cookie butter shined through. <\/p>\n<p>For example, if a friend handed me this and said it was a brand new butterscotch milkshake, I would be like \u201cyum!\u201d Or if they said just kidding it\u2019s in fact a new caramel shake I would be like \u201cdelicious!\u201d Cookie butter just didn\u2019t immediately come to mind when thinking about the flavor of the shake itself.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t think for a second, though, that I didn\u2019t enjoy the shake as I finished the entire thing. All 960 calories and, good heavens, 139 grams of sugar of it. Next time this is available I\u2019ll probably get a small and use it to wash down the cookie butter cream that I am scraping off the Oreo cookies to really hedge my bets and get maximum flavor.
