Tahoe Cookies, 7.2-Ounce Package by Pepperidge Farm

I've eaten these cookies for years but never thrilled by how hard and crumbly they are. Enter the Microwave... I just thought it would jazz up the white chocolate. But it also made the cookie LESS crumbly and 10X more delicious. So much so that I no longer want to share these with my dog! Not sure who reads these but I wish I had tried the microwave sooner as I am not really a cookie dunker any more.

The macadamia cookies are like crack. These are probably the best store bought cookies I've ever had. At around .50 a piece they aren't cheap either. They are a bit crumbly, but I like a crisp cookie and it's an easy tradeoff for me. They do have just a slight chew once you get through the crisp. I wouldn't change the texture.

not as soft as I thought they should be but still they tasting good

Nice cookies!

Pepperidge Farms appears to be having serious manufacturing and quality control issues wherever it is making and packaging its so-called “12 ounces” of also so-called “Tahoe White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies.” When I opened the package, most of the cookies were missing. Instead, there were just incomplete cookie pieces or simply only crumbs where whole cookies should have been. There was no side by side whole cookie presentation as one might expect. Also, the so-called “white chocolate” and macadamia nut ingredients were not even correctly represented in the sparse cookie pieces and crumbs where whole cookies should have been. Pepperidge Farms also decided to blow off its “Ingredients” list by substituting regular chocolate chips for some of the “white chocolate chips” along with cookie pieces and crumbs where whole cookies should have been. If wanted to eat regular chocolate chip cookies, I could have bought them fresh from a bakery for example. The meager two or three cookies and pieces or crumbs which didn’t even make a whole cookie were a strange blend of white chocolate and regular chocolate. I had never ordered these before and I’d only just ordered a couple 5 ounce bag of butter cookies to satisfy a holiday season sweet tooth. I wasn’t certain that these cookies might not normally have included regular chocolate chips, but the ingredients list verified they weren’t supposed to even be present. It caused me to wonder, “How often are ingredients which shouldn’t be in Pepperidge Farm Cookies added?” There definitely was not 12 ounces of even any strange cookie hybrid because so little was in the bag at all. The manufacturing information on the bag appears to report “Sell by 03/29/26 WO3A395 11:53:39.” Pepperidge Farm needs to address its internal manufacturing and quality control problems, and Amazon needs to improve its Order Issue and Refunds because there were no means available to report these issues and to receive a much needed refund for this product which was clearly defective and missing most of any cookie content and contained no “Tahoe White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies.”
