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.
