Mrs Fields Cookies

I love a good milkshake as it reminds me of my childhood. I know I should just order chocolate to be safe but I’m always tempted by the flavors of old with their crazy colors… blue heaven, lime, banana…
I fell into this trap at Mrs Fields and ordered a lime milkshake for myself and a safe vanilla for my guy. I had second thoughts but sat and waited hoping for the best. But it took only one sip for me to regret my choice. The color was right, bright green, but the flavour was all wrong… it tasted like bad toothpaste with no hint of lime at all. The vanilla was ok but not even nice enough for me to get food envy (which is rare!) I’m not sure what flavourings they are using but I’ll steer clear of the milkshakes and be stick to cookies next time I pop in to Mrs Fields.

I’m a big cookie fan. I wouldn’t say I have much of a sweet tooth; but nothing satisfies my sugary cravings better than a cookie.
I love all types. Chocolate, oatmeal, peanut butter… if it can be put in cookie form I can almost guarantee I’ll love it.
Mrs Fields have excellent cookies. Sometimes it’s hard to make a choice because they have so many delicious American Style cookies to choose from! Luckily they have little bite sized treats called ‘nibblers’ so you can get an array of different flavoured cookies in one tasty pack!
I also tried one of their Coconut Rough tarts on the weekend — I could only eat half because it was so rich and delicious.
Highly recommend.

Oh god. It hurts me to say this, as I’m such a ‘buy small, buy local’ kinda gal (borderline snob) but crap can the American’s make cookies. Or more specifically for me, brownies.
I bought a peanut butter brownie the other day whilst tired and exhausted at Mrs Fields and half of it is still in my fridge because it was so rich. So, so deliciously rich. The brownie was dense and chewy, and it was topped with a thick layer of salty peanut butter then covered in chocolate. For about $ 3.20 that’s half the price of any Coffee Club cake and about 500 times the taste factor.
