Kabaya Careme Jersey Milk Cookies

"Milk" seems to be a very popular flavor in Japanese snacks but it's hard, at least for me, to define exactly what its suppose to taste like.  Sometime it tastes like cream, sometimes milk, and yet other times vanilla. The Kabaya Careme Jersey Milk Cookies is leaning towards none of the above unfortunately.  I'm guessing these are based off of the Jersey Milk Candy that's also made by Kabaya, but I could never understand why Jersey?  Do they make better milk in Jersey?  Not sure...

I'm from Jersey!
Neatly packaged
These cookies come conveniently in individual wrapped packs, with 10 packs in each box. I was expecting something crunchy and buttery but instead the texture was soft and chewy.  The taste was neither milky nor creamy but more closely resembling that of sweet vanilla.  It tastes like if you made a cookie out of melted vanilla ice cream, if you can imaging such a taste.









Other ways of eating me!
The box comes with a few suggestions for using these cookies in other dessert recipes, which perhaps will enhance their flavor. When eaten alone I did not think it was anything spectacular, but their soft texture makes it a good choice for dipping in milk teas or coffees. Each cookie contains 51kcal,  2.7g of fat and 6.1g of carbs if you worry about that kind of things.  I would unfortunately say this product was slightly disappointing as I was hoping for something with a creamier and milkier taste.  Too bad.
