I have a sweet tooth. There’s no secret, I have about 20 of them! I can’t pass up a good cookie, and I usually don’t. My best girl friend growing up had a mom who baked the largest and yummiest chocolate chip cookies on the planet. I still think of them today and have never been able to replicate them. Though flat and unattractive, my homemade cookies can make my kids smile, a fresh baked cookie, warm from the oven pairing with coffee in the morning is delightful for me. Also they make great after dinner treats or perfect in the kids’ lunches.
Sweet Andy’s Cookies is a Westhampton Beach, NY company that reached out to me to review their “Thank You” Cookies, I agreed in a heartbeat! Named for the cookies he made to thank his friends, family, and community when desperately down, in Andy’s words:
“I wanted desperately to give back to everyone for all that they were doing for me and my family, but I didn’t really know how to do it seeing that we didn’t have much money.” Andrew was a bit of a cookie monster himself and began making cookies for the kids. One day he felt as though he should start baking cookies as “Thank You’s” for all of those people who had helped them during this time.
When the assortment of cookies came I was impressed at the size, they were large like the size of my palm, 5 per bag is how they are sold.
Myself and the kids tried the sugar cookie first and they are soft and chewy, and the thickness is substantial. Right away I noticed that they were not overly sweet cookies, they have a buttery aftertaste that is nice. The oatmeal raisin cookie was probably my favorite and the sweetest because of the large, plump raisins. This cookie had it all for me and my son and husband were also fans!
If you like peanut butter and chocolate, you’ll love the triple chip cookie with a combination of semi-sweet chocolate, peanut butter and white chocolate chips. This one was a house favorite as well!
I love all desserts and foods associated with lemon, so the lemon cookies were mom’s favorite and there was a nice sweet/tart taste to it that I enjoy. The chocolate and chocolate chip cookies are classics and pair nicely with cocoa says the kids, I couldn’t get my hands on those fast enough. The one cookie we all thought was a bit off was the mint. We love mint, I am a huge mint fan, but the flavor was over powering and spicy.
Due to their size and probably perfect for those who are trying to cut back on calories, one cookie in a sitting is good, anymore is indulgent! Don’t tell the kids, but I have a few stashed away yet for when they are in school. With a family of five cookie monsters, you gotta do what you gotta do!
