| - I wandered into Biff's Cookies for the first time Friday, and I was delightfully greeted by Elika with a huge smile AND was offered a FRESH baked warm and gooey, fresh-out-of-the-oven cookie!
I knew I was having a, "this is what dreams are made of" moment!
Elika introduced me to Biff, the owner of the facility, who was incredibly accommodating, informative and so friendly with comical cookie-banter and jokes! He walked me through all of their cookie knowledge and information, different flavor options and pressed me for my range of preferences.
I left the store in tremendous spirits and 5 cookies to try! Obviously I wanted to gobble them instantly, but I also knew thee were too good to not share. I took them home to my husband, and here's our shakedown:
California Killer Cookie *Signature*
Taste: great taste, pecans are strong; great quality chocolate detected
Chewiness: soft inside, with crunchy exterior-perfect balance and baking
Ratio of mix-ins: excellent, perfect balance with perfect 3 flavor melding
Quality: cooked perfectly with gooey chewy middle
Rebuy: yes
Coconut white macadamia
Taste: coconut was excellent, added great texture; needs more macadamia nuts; explosion of macadamia and coconut flavors
Chewiness: very chewy with spot-on baking; exterior not too crispy, but middle nice and soft with gooey and chewiness
Ratio of mix-ins: need more macadamia nuts, or omit
Quality: excellent
Rebuy: not usually a macadamia lover but would re-eat
Regular semi-sweet chocolate chip
Taste: spot on, high quality chocolate is detectable
Chewiness: VERY CHEWY--chewier than others
Ratio of mix-ins: perfect ratio
Quality: great
Rebuy: definitely, now one of my favorites!
Golden Oatie chocolate chip
Taste: oats aren't flavorful -cookie and
Chewiness: very dense and chewy
Ratio of mix-ins: would've preferred a regular oatmeal raisin
Quality: oats weren't represented well in flavor
Rebuy: would not rebuy
Almond toffee
Taste: very similar to regular semi-sweet cookie; the toffee to be stronger
Chewiness: very good, baking is perfect: crisp exterior, chewy middle
Ratio of mix-ins: moderate, the toffee needs higher representation
Quality: lacking distinct taste, tastes too similarly to the regular chocolate chip
Rebuy: would not rebuy
Favorite:

Coconut macadamia
Next to try: oreo stuffed cookie, double peanut butter salted caramel and white chocolate chunk!
