I purchased these for birthday gift add-ons for a couple little girls I know – the adorable little birdhouse packaging was a big hit! After the cookies are gone, the birdhouse looks cute on a shelf and provides imaginative play for them. The cherry flavor is actually pretty mild, and combined with the faint vanilla undertones makes a delicious little cookie! Heavy coating of confectioner’s powdered sugar but still not too sweet. I couldn’t de-code the manufacturer’s expiration date (lose a star in the rating), but they tasted crisp and fresh (these are like the mexican wedding cake cookies but instead of nut flavor, cherry). I wouldn’t normally spend this much on a pound of cookies, but they were on sale and it was a special occasion… They made me smile, and made the little girls smile, and sometimes that is priceless.
For all the fancy packaging this company uses to sell their cookies you’d think two things. One that the packaging was well done and looked good after shipping which wasn’t the case. The glued on decorations weren’t still intact. Two, and the more important one is the cookies should taste as good as the packaging they are being sent in. These cookies had almost no flavor. KEYLIME wasn’t the flavor there was hardly a hint of citrus to them. Mostly tasted like a really buttery sugar cookie with a powered sugar coating. This is not the first keylime cookie I have tried and the other wasn’t much better. I have had a wonderful keylime cookie in the Cambridge area of Boston in a large whole foods grocery so I know they do exist! But don’t waste your money on these like I did.
It’s a very tasty desert if you like lemon cakes and cookies. Besides it could be a great little present. When ordering it I had some doubts but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise from the local SF Bay Area manufacturer.
I only gave this a 4 star review because; although, the cookies were very tasty, all the boxes of cookies came with part of their decorations falling off. I had to reglue all of the flowers. Obviously, this is a problem, because the company on four of the packages tried to reattach the flowers with folded over packing tape.
