Calling all M&S cookie fans, the supermarket has just answered our prayers and released a brand new type of cookie in three unique flavours, and this time they're getting chunky. We tried them earlier today (9 July) and this is exactly what we thought, including which one is worth your money.
Launching in M&S Food stores across the nation today are three new Chunked N'Loaded cookies - raspberry cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut and pistachio.
According to M&S' official Instagram, each cookie is: "Hand finished and baked daily, each bite reveals a delicious hidden centre and is LOADED with yumminess, crafted from an all-butter recipe using Wildfarmed flour, and topped with extra drizzles and delights - think melt in your mouth with a satisfyingly crisp and gooey bite!"
We tried all three earlier today and were very surprised by which one was our favourite. First up was the pistachio, which was loaded with pistachio nibs on top and a white chocolate drizzle, in the centre was a pistachio paste. We're big fans of pistachio flavours (it's literally everywhere this summer) but this cookie had more of a lemon flavour to it than a pistachio, leaving us quite disappointed.
Next up we tried the chocolate and hazelnut, which is meant to have a oozy chocolate centre however we found our one wasn't that gooey. It had a really nice strong hazelnut flavour and wasn't too sweet which we liked.
And finally we tried the raspberry cheesecake which had a strong raspberry flavour combined with the cheesecakey filling.
Easily our favourite one was the chocolate and hazelnut, with the raspberry cheesecake coming in a close second.
Overall the cookies are very different to the OG M&S cookies which are much thinner and chewier, whereas these new cookies have a denser crumblier texture to them.
They come in solo packages and so they're great for grabbing on the go, but at £2.50 per individual cookie, we'd probably pick the traditional five pack of cookies for value for money next time.
