Spooners Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Tesco) By @Cinabar

I went into Tesco Express with the intention of picking up some yoghurts, as we had run out. I did buy a packet of strawberry low fat yoghurts, but next to them in the fridge was this twin pack of cookie dough pots, and I just couldn’t resist. I know these are more dessert than lunchtime snack, but they still made their way into my basket.

As it was Friday, and very much a treat for getting through a truly difficult week, I thought I’d give one a try. The pack says you can eat them straight from the tub or microwave them to warm them up. When I peeled back the card, I was greeted by a dollop of cookie dough. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it did look a little sad.

I decided to try it warm. After a very brief zap in the microwave, it looked slightly melted and far more inviting. The first thing I noticed when I tried it was how lovely and soft it was, with the warmth making it super comforting. The cookie dough itself is very sweet and definitely a proper treat, with a rich, buttery flavour. There was plenty of chocolate too, which melted nicely into the dough.

I loved every mouthful. The portion size felt just right, as any more might have tipped into sickly territory, but this hit my sweet tooth perfectly and absolutely delivered.
