Product Review: WOW Baking Company Lemon Burst Cookies

Product: WOW Baking Company Lemon Burst Cookies – $4.99+

Lemon.  Lemon.

Luscious lemon.

There is something go refreshing and amazing about foods that have that lemon tang to it.  Citrus has always been one of my first loves…especially lemon.  Lemonade, lemon chiffon, lemon meringue, lemon zest, lemon…lemon…lemon!  Give me all the lemon.

Luckily, my friends know of this lemon love…and often share it.

That goes double for my friend Jenn, who kindly stocked me up with a package of WOW Baking Company’s Lemon Burst Cookies.

I mean…what is not to love about that?  LEMON. BURST. COOKIES.

I was thrilled to have these in my pantry…and after working through some other items…pulled these out one evening for a delicious palate cleanser after dinner.  Dessert doesn’t have to be big…but it should always be enjoyed.  I love a small touch of sweetness after a meal.  My desserts at home are often just a couple bites of something, but I never deny myself that little treat.

That being said…I pulled open this little sack of cookie goodness and discovered a bag full of amazing soft, two to three bite cookies.  I checked the label for the serving size…which says…2 ounces.  That turned out to be around 4-5 of the little mini cookies.  So…I dished up a measured serving (yes…I weighed them each time!) for my roommate and one for me.  I delivered the cookies to her and she dug in.  She might love lemon even more than I do…so she was happily nomming away at her batch of cookies when I finally settled in with my dessert.

One bite confirmed what her appreciative chewing noises were telling me.  These…WERE AWESOME!!  The texture was somewhere in between a butter cookie and a cake.  Seriously.  They were so soft and light…I loved it.  No annoying crunching.  Flavor-wise, it was like eating a bit of sugar cookie dough that was kicked up with a hint of lemon flavor.  Just enough to sweeten and not overpower.  It was so refreshing.  Each bite was a treat, most definitely.
