Archway Cookies: A Nostalgic Review

When I was growing upwards nosotros didn't choose soda or candy inwards the house, or junk nutrient similar Twinkies, but nosotros did choose cookies. Sometimes my mom made cookies from scratch, as well as sometimes she bought them. The affair is, some cookies need to hold upwards fresh as well as homemade, similar chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal cookies. They only don't sense of savour correct to me if they aren't. But as well as then at that spot are some commercially produced cookies that are only fine as well as dandy.

When I was growing upwards I tin almost guarantee you lot would choose works life pecan sandies, lemon coolers, raisin biscuits, or almond windmills inwards the cookie jar. Oddly plenty most of those cookies are non thence slow to notice these days. Pecan sandies are a variety of shortbread cookie, flecked alongside bits of nuts as well as are the solely cookie I nevertheless routinely run into inwards the supermarket (though reviews appear to enjoin they aren't every bit expert every bit they used to be). Lemon coolers were real tangy cookies coated inwards powdered sugar. Raisin biscuits were affectionately known every bit "fly biscuits" inwards my family. They were sparse layers of cookie, filled alongside raisins. They came inwards long strips that were perforated. Almond windmills afterward became only "windmills", every bit the amount of slivered almonds was drastically reduced. Windmills are based on a spiced Dutch cookie called speculaas.

Recently I got an e-mail informing me that Archway was launching an iced lemonade cookie. Was I interested inwards trying some samples? Little did I know I would have thirteen packages of cookies inwards the mail. 13. Packages. Of cookies. So for you, my dear readers, I opened virtually every parcel as well as tried them. Call it professional person responsibility. Somebody has got to endeavor all those cookies as well as it mightiness every bit good hold upwards me! Not every cookie made the cut, but a few varieties rose to a higher identify the rest. Here are the ones I mean value are peculiarly noteworthy:

Ginger Snaps
I similar these a lot. They actually choose a expert seize alongside teeth of ginger inwards them as well as are non every bit good sweet. They would also hold upwards great inwards desserts. I'd role ginger snap crumbs inwards identify of graham crackers to brand a press inwards type of crust or to tiptop an apple tree or pear crisp.

You choose to similar molasses to appreciate these chewy niggling gems, but I enjoyed them fifty-fifty to a greater extent than than the larger soft molasses version.They are actually expert as well as rigid similar a bracing loving cup of dark coffee.

Iced LemonadeThese are not my dearest lemon coolers, but I similar them. They are tangy, non every bit good sugariness fifty-fifty though they are frosted. Actually I mean value most of the lemon flavour comes from the glaze. They are modest as well as real crunchy.

Windmills
These are practically every bit I call back them, only calorie-free on almonds. From the photograph it's impossible to run into whatever almond flakes, but they are inwards there. The main flavour is cinnamon but at that spot are other sugariness spices too. Windmills are difficult cookies, but non every bit difficult every bit the ginger snaps. They choose an almost melting sandy texture. Are they that delicious or am I only beingness nostalgic? Hard to say. But I am enjoying them immensely.

You volition notice these cookies inwards diverse supermarkets.
