Every once in a while, I make a discovery, and I'm so incredibly excited that it makes me thrill to have YELP as a platform to share the experience!
We were in the Bay Area, and dessert is always an option! After a quick yelp search, I discovered doughpamine. What I did not know, is that they don't have a storefront! And the address listed on YELP doesn't even go to the kitchen. It's kind of weird. The address actually corresponds with an ethnic market, which by the way, I did some shopping and and found some really cool things, but I digress.
I immediately was in search of what is supposed to be fabulous Cookies. After a couple of stops at some of the local grocery stores, I struck Gold, and was able to purchase three different flavors!!
I love the fact that it's frozen premade cookie dough. That means that you can bake as many or as few as you would like.
I will say, the flavors are unique, and the price point is high. But you definitely get what you pay for. Each bag runs about $17 and there's six large pre-shaped cookie rounds in each bag.
Rhapsody Road is my favorite! I just wish that the cookies had more marshmallow bits. I will say with all the flavors that I find almond to be a little bit off pudding and while I like unique flavors, well, it works with the Road to some extent, I really would like to see the almond removed.
Miso peanut butter: I was super excited about this because I absolutely love peanut butter, and I thought the miso would add a very unique taste profile. This is my least favorite out of three packages that I purchased, and again it has almond in it and some other flavors that frankly just don't work. I wanted more of a peanut butter flavor And for some reason the miso and peanut butter just did not blend the way that I needed it for it too. I would take a pass on this next time.
Blueberry corn: OK this was the Darkhorse for me, and I really did not think that I was going to like this, but in fact, I loved it! It's like a combination of a really good cornmeal muffin with blueberries in it but in cookie form. I absolutely would've loved more blueberries but the flavor combo is absolutely delicious.
Why am I raving about frozen cookie dough?!
I really wish that Jessica Nolan, the owner and creator had a storefront. Why? Because who doesn't want a freshly made warm cookie?! Right? But she did the next best thing and really, sometimes it's a late night craving and now it can be done at home.
Simple and easy to follow baking instructions, and one is really filling, but you'll definitely want a second one! The baked cookies were definitely bigger than what I expected, and it made it all worth it!
Jessica is a fine, dining pastry chef by trade, a Michelin restaurant, inspector, and a Food Network champion! She knows what she's doing.
What's great about this is that you don't need to live in the Bay Area to grab these! Jessica has a website and ships everywhere. I've already placed an order. I love the fact that the prices are the same online as they are in the grocery store.
This has that unique Yum factor that we all look for in that extraordinary cookie. read more
