Review- Millie's At Home NEW Ready to Bake Cookies: Milk, White and Triple Choc

Behold! Millie's Cookies have come home.. To Iceland of all places! I made a special trip to pick up these NEW frozen additions having heard the word on Twitter - Seriously, that place is where it's at when it comes to late, breaking happenings in the food world.. Heaven forbid I could have missed them given that it's the one supermarket I never go to. 

Tucked in with the frozen desserts, these boxes of Milk, White and Triple Choc Ready to Bake Cookie Dough were in abundance and priced at 2 for £5 or £3 individually - Quite steep considering only 6 Cookies are in each weighing approximately 35g a pop. Nothing was going to deter me though - Needs must and all that!

Bad news for raw Dough enthusiasts, on the back of the box there is a warning not to go there so if one choses to rebel against that.. Well, on your own head be it! For those who like their Cookies cooked, I plonked one of each different flavour, oblong shaped pieces onto a baking tray, ready to go into a 160ºC Fan oven for 14-16 minutes or until cooked - Although they are intended to still look soft when done, it is suggested leaving them for 10 minutes to set up before scoffing.

Tadaaaa! Like magic, 3 pieces of Dough turned into 3 Cookies. They smelt amazing when being baked just as anticipated. One thing to surprise me was that even though I kept them in the oven for a slightly less 11 minutes rather than the recommended 14 (Ahem), they were still quite crisp around the edges and the Triple Choc even caught slightly on one side - I even checked the temperate of my oven and for once it wasn't running hot!

Milk Choc

A crisp exterior with chewy inner, the Cookie had a pleasant texture.. Even if it wasn't that of an actual store bought Millie's - May as well get that out of the way before anyone gets to excited, sorry! Butter, vanilla and sugar were the stand out flavours as one would expect with such a treat. The chocolate chunks were few and far between but the ones I could taste did have a a nice milky cocoa flavour and were slightly melted thanks to the Cookie still being warm. Not bad, but not stand out by any means - A 3 out of 5 from me. 

White Choc

Once again, this Cookie had a similar chewy texture as above but perhaps a tad softer crumb. The flavour was also the same with an extra kick of sweetness thanks to the white chocolate chunks. An eggy sort of taste was also apparent which I am certain didn't come from under baking as it wasn't wet or soggy in the slightest. Very vanilla-y and very tasty - Another 3 out of 5 from me. 

Triple Choc

Last by no means least was the Triple Choc. Rich in cocoa with bursts of gooey, sweet chocolate, this Cookie was the best of the bunch. It appeared to be the most packed with chunks which is a bit of an anomaly considering the Cookie itself was also chocolate - I guess they weren't lying when giving it, its name! Texture wise, it was nice and chewy, ignoring the slightly burnt edges with an almost Brownie like middle despite being thin. It's a 3.5 out of 5 from me! 

Overall, these NEW Millie's At Home Cookies are what they are - Yummy but certainly not the same as store bought.. I would even go as far as to say, you wouldn't know they were meant to be Millie's unless you had read the box and paid the daylight robbery of a price! Don't get me wrong, they hit the spot when you need something sweet and the freshly baked "warm" aspect is appealing but you could get something similar from anywhere and for a lot less.. Or dare I say, release your inner Baker and make your own. What is with all the Chocolate also? A soft Oatmeal & Raisin next time Millie's, if you will.
