Review: Featuring "the great taste of chocolate chip cookies & milk". I like chocolate chip cookies. I like them more than Oreos. And milk and cookies are a natural match (although I prefer cookies in ice cream). But while it's a staple, I'm surprised that this cereal isn't more popular. It seems to be the most overlooked of Big G's flagship cereals (alongside Honey Nut Cheerios, Reese's Puffs, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, Trix, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch), and is the one that gets the least novelty variations, despite there being a lot of potential in terms of different kinds of cookies you could use. I still want my Sugar Cookie Crisp, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what they could create - Double Chocolate Cookie Crisp, Brookie Crisp, Peanut Butter Cookie Crisp, Snickerdoodle Crisp, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Crisp, Red Velvet Cookie Crisp, and the collaboration with Panera Bread - Kitchen Sink Cookie Crisp! The list of missed opportunities just goes on and on...

Anyway, the cereal consists of cute little saucers that resemble chocolate chip cookies - and the visual impression is quite enticing. They have a sweet, doughy taste with a hint of chocolate, and are crisp and crunchy. Even in milk, they only soften up a little bit - and that might be my only complaint. Some people like crispy cookies. I prefer it when they're soft. But it's a good cereal, with surprisingly little competition. And you can't beat the thrill of having cookies for breakfast!

Leftover Milk: It's not strong, but you can definitely taste the chocolate chip cookie flavor.
