Buttermilk Pancake: ★★★★

Calories: 180
Temperature: Warm
Aesthetic: ★★★★★
Sweetness Level: ★★

The warm cookie base has a strong buttery smell, but the frosting is odorless. The frosting was similar to cupcake frosting, but the crystally frosting texture made the overall cookie taste more abundant. Although shaped like a pancake, the cookie has a dense dough that makes it taste a lot more like a cookie rather than a pancake. Crunchy on the outside edges, and a little undercooked in the middle, these textures complement one another. Because it is a warm cookie, one has to eat it warm to gain the full taste experience. After cooling off, the cookie loses its buttery smell and taste. Syrup-glazed and topped with imitated butter frosting, this pancake-like cookie has an overall rating of 4 out of 5 cookies.

Carrot Cake: ★★★

Calories: 220
Temperature: Room Temperature
Aesthetic: ★★★
Sweetness Level: ★★

The proportion of the base cookie to the frosting balance is just right: half and half. For carrot cake lovers, this cookie is a perfect fit. There’s walnut on top of the frosting that adds to the overall texture. This cookie has the right amount of sweetness in which you can finish the whole cookie without needing water. The frosting has a more dense texture than the buttermilk pancake cookie. The cookie itself tastes very much like the other butter-based cookie. With swirls of vanilla frosting and sprinkles of walnut on top, this carrot cake cookie earns an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 cookies.

Honey Bun: ★★

Calories: 160
Temperature: Room Temperature
Aesthetic: ★
Sweetness Level: ★★★★

Taste more like cinnamon than honey, Honey Bun also possesses a slight buttery smell. Honey Bun doesn’t stand out among the rest of the five cookies; however, this dense cookie has a relatively bread-like texture. The sweetness of this cookie is really intense without benefiting the overall taste experience. Shaped like a glazed cinnamon roll, the Honey Bun cookie receives an overall rating of 1.5 cookies out of 5.

Milk Chocolate Chip: ★★★★

Calories: 180
Temperature: Warm
Aesthetic: ★★★★
Sweetness Level: ★★★★

Milk Chocolate Chip is very aesthetically appealing, between its golden edge and tips, this warm cookie coming right out of the oven had a strong chocolate smell. The aesthetic isn’t 5/5 because the chocolate looks slightly less appealing because it is covered by thin cookie dough. Breaking this soft cookie, one can see how the chocolate melts in the middle with crunchy edges. This cookie has an abundant amount of chocolate chips in every bite is filled with satisfaction, making this the sweetest out of all the types of cookies. The cookie had an even ratio between melted chocolate and chocolate chip chunks that added to the texture. This Milk Chocolate Chip cookie isn’t anything special in the field of chocolate chip cookies. The chocolate doesn’t taste as stunning as the cookie itself, so this cookie earned a rating of 3.5 cookies. If eaten with milk, Milk Chocolate Chip can accelerate to 5 cookies.

Strawberry Cheesecake: ★★★★★

Calories: 210
Temperature: Cold
Aesthetic: ★★★★
Sweetness Level: ★★

The thin layer of jelly-like strawberry syrup on the cookie is mixed with sliced strawberry. The strawberry coating on top distinguishes itself from the rest of the cookie, giving it a fruity and refreshing scent. This cookie was intentionally designed to be a cold cookie to mirror the taste of a cheesecake. The ‘Strawberry Cheesecake’ cookie closely resembles a cheesecake in appearance. While for a cheesecake, the crust is only a small portion of the cake. But on the Cheesecake cookie, the base was a lot thicker, but the frosting was relatively thin. The most aesthetically appealing cookie, Strawberry Cheesecake did not disappoint, obtaining an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 cookies.

Pumpkin Brownie: ★★

Calories: 210
Temperature: Cold
Aesthetic: ★★★★★
Sweetness Level: ★★★

This cookie is harder to cut because of its emphasis on being a cold cookie, it is harder to cut. The overall cookie smells like a brownie, but the frosting has a too-strong pumpkin taste. This cookie targets a very specific audience of pumpkin and chocolate lovers. Without the heavy frosting, the cookie base feels similar to dark chocolate but has a strong aftertaste of strong sweetness. If one likes pumpkin, this cookie would be a 4 out of 5 cookie rating. Chocolate base, pumpkin frosting, and brownie top — Pumpkin Brownie is a super thick yet well-decorated cookie rated 2 out of 5 cookies.
