First up, cookies. Hey, what did you expect?
Seattle is a quirky place; I mean why someone would name their bakery, Cow Chip Cookies is a little beyond me. Admittedly, there is the cute factor, but uhh, to state the obvious, you're associating cow dung with something you want to eat.
And their icon just crosses that cute line for me:
Shrug, I suppose I really shouldn't be saying anything, since if a bakery had spectacular tasting cookies, I'd probably champion them even if they were named "I just picked my nose and put my boogers in this cookie" cookies.
Cow Chip - The cow chip is their medium sized chocolate chip cookie. (Their big choco chip cookies are called Bull Chips and their mini versions are called Calf Chips.)
It had a buttery smell to it and was actually surprisingly light, tasting almost like a sugar cookie with added chocolate chips, which actually was a bit disappointing. The cookie just came off as intensely unconfrontational and lacking in personality that made it forgetable.
Horse chip(?) - Oatmeal Raisin - With an offensively artificial cinnamon/nutmeg smell and a taste like the scent of Williams Sonoma or other yuppy upscale stores.
There's something terrifically irritating about a person who tries to be overly politically correct. The same goes for cookies.
