Product Review: Shortbread Cookies

As had been my custom for about a year, I stopped at the Red Bay cart to get a sweet fix. Instead of getting my usual muffin, peanut butter cookie, or kugle-whatever, I decided to try one of the packages of cookies that I’d always seen posted up near the ordering window, callin’ to me like Darius’ you-know-what was callin’ to Nina. I’m glad I listened.

For some reason, in Red Bay’s POS (point of sale) system, the entire package of cookies didn’t appear as a single item. The clerk had to figure out how to charge me for each, individual cookie; there are three to a pack. It didn’t take too long, though, and Red Bay’s team members are cool folks. It could’ve taken the clerk 10 minutes, and I’d’ve still been good.

I want to fudge and give these cookies a 10. They were that good. There are tasty chunks of almond throughout the cookies. They could’ve been slivers. I don’t remember. I just remember tasting a whole bunch of almond in each bite. I could taste orange essence, and did they use real butter? Was it olive oil? I don’t know. What I do know is that the cookies tasted outstandingly good.

Product Usability – 5
The cookies came prepacked. The package was bound by a twist tie. All I had to do was untwist the tie, remove the cookies–which were not cracked; there was nary a crumb inside the little baggy–and eat.

I’ve stopped going to the Red Bay Cart because I don’t know how to act right, but don’t let that stop you from poppin’ on over and getting a package of Yashi Bakes’ cookies.

That’s all for now.
