Welcome to day 7 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza!

Right on the heels of Pepperidge Farm’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Soft Dessert Cookies, I’m sampling another Pepperidge Farm cookie — this time it’s Pepperidge Farm Milano Pumpkin Spice Flavored Cookies. (Thanks to Angela from Seasonal and Savory for alerting me to these.)

No pumpkin or spice listed in the ingredients — only “natural flavors.”

Here’s the cookies:

I’m not quite sure about the skid marks on the cookies.  I guess that’s supposed to be the “pumpkin spice.”  I didn’t understand the point of these cookies.  It’s like Pepperidge Farm said “let’s take something delicious and make it into something that is not.”  The familiar crisp cookie and chocolate filling is still there, with an added hint of mustiness.

Pepperidge Farm, I gave you another chance after the Pumpkin Cheesecake cookies, but this it — I am breaking up with you.

UPDATE:  My husband told me he thought my review of these cookies was harsh . . . until he tried one.

PEPPERIDGE FARM PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE SOFT DESSERT COOKIES

Welcome to day 6 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza!

Today I sampled Pepperidge Farm Limited Edition Pumpkin Cheesecake Soft Dessert Cookies:

The ingredient list confirms that there is pumpkin in these cookies somewhere.  Cheesecake is dubious.

And here’s the cookies:

When Pepperidge Farm describes these as “soft,” they aren’t kidding.  These cake-like confections are so soft that they practically fall apart in your hand, almost as if the Houston humidity got to them before I did.   I don’t know what possessed them to call the white chips “cheesecake” — they don’t taste like any cheesecake I’ve ever had.  A more appropriate name for these cookies would have been Fall Apart Pumpkin Cookies with White Chips.  They didn’t taste bad — not too sweet — and  thankfully didn’t have any artificial pumpkin spice flavoring.  On  the other hand, you won’t have to lock the cookie jar to keep your family from polishing them off.
