Through BzzAgent, I got to try Kroger's "Truly Awesome" homestyle chocolate chip cookies. Their #1 ingredient is chocolate chips (mmm!), and all of the ingredients are natural with no preservatives. Supposedly, they are supposed to taste just like homemade cookies. I'm sure most people prefer homemade to store-bought, so that is a great selling point. So in order to "test" out whether they truly taste homemade or not, I served dinner for my family then provided these cookies as a dessert. Once they finished, I asked if they thought they were homemade or store-bought. They guessed correctly. We all agreed that if they weren't so crumby/crunchy, they could probably pass for homemade. Heating them up in the microwave and dipping in milk makes it a little more homemade-tasting.
Kroger's Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies are definitely yummy. However, I have to disagree when they claim that they will taste homemade. They are certainly better than many other store-bought cookies, but I do not think they taste any better than Chips Ahoy chunky cookies, for example. Maybe if the cookies were slightly softer somehow they could pass for homemade.
I would buy again!
