A four-pack of chocolate chip cookies sold by Coles has just been named the best in Australia, and to top it off, they are just $5.20 per pack. Coles Bakery’s Dreams Crumb True New York Choc Chip biscuits were crowned the winners, beating 21 other brands, including Cadbury and Arnott’s.
In second place was Coles’ Ultimate Cookies 40 per cent chocolate chip, which costs $5, and Woolworths took third place with its Bakery Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which costs $5.50. Consumer group CHOICE left no crumbs blind taste testing each cookie before deciding on the cookie deserving of first place.
CHOICE director Mark Serrels said the chosen cookie took out the win thanks to its intense chocolate flavour and balanced texture. “Our experts praised these cookies for their dark chocolate chunks and said they were quite crunchy with a little bit of chew in the centre,” Mr Serrels said. Not only was the cookie awarded first place for its deliciousness, but it also boasted the best health star rating with significantly less sugar then its competitors.
Judges described the cookie as “rustic,” with a subtle aroma of vanilla and generous chunks of semi-sweet chocolate. The winning biscuit scored 83 per cent on the sensory scale for its texture and “amazing” mouth feel. Have you tried this humble cookie from Coles?.
