The James Cookie Review

[boater]

James Cook is marketing the James Cookie.

 

I bought one at Tops for $2.50. It was merely OK. With "praline-coated pretzels, rice crispy crunchies, toffee bits, white chocolate, and red, white and blue sprinkles" it sounded promising. I was looking forward to it based on the description. Review: it is possible to have too much of a good thing (all those tasty ingredients). It was sickly sweet. I liked the pretzel and wish it had more of that. The texture was a bit too crumbly.

 

Definitely start with buying one for yourself, just for the experience, bragging rights, and taste test. You might like it's unique sugary kink, if so, then buy more.

 

I could imagine an unopened package of this cookie in many Bills memorabilia collections, right next to the box of Josh's Jaqs (BTW some dude is selling Josh's Jaqs on eBay for $20 a box plus $9 shipping, it takes all kinds of people in this world).

It’s not a weed cookie?!?! Based on your review, maybe it’s made to satisfy the munchies?? Based on his baseline facial expression, I just assumed it would have something to do with pot…

Thanks for the review OP.  I was genuinely curious if those things were any good.  Looks tasty but I know with things like that it's more so about the marketing and the product usually ends up falling short.  I might pick one up to try for myself but will probably be sticking with my Wegmans chocolate chip cookies

I saw the story in the Buffalo News today and thought it sounded like crap. You'd think the marketing people would have called it a "Jimbo Cookie"

Dang. That cookie does sound good. It’s way cheaper than Crumbl too

Tried it, and the tried it again.   I think its as good as the cookies Crumbl sells for the price of my kids college tuition.   2 for $5 at my local Tops.
