“I’ve always been a sucker for those Little Debbie oatmeal creme cookies, and these are in a very similar vein, except better. The cookie portion is a pretty classic carrot cake confection – shredded carrots, with some ample raisins and I swear there walnuts in there, too, even though they are not listed on the ingredients list….maybe I’m making that up, but if nuts are a concern, doublecheck before buying these. Of course, since the cookie has to do it’s part to hold together with some cream filling, it’s a little more rigid of a texture to the bite than regular carrot cake, but still, it’s soft and chewy and fairly delectable in its brown sugary-cinnamony-carroty goodness. The sweet vanilla cream filling is pretty good and refreshing, as kind of an odd choice, perhaps. There’s part of me that would have really liked more of a cream cheese frosting filler, but that’d make a pairing that’s been done over and over again, so I’d like to say that vanilla was an inspired choice…but it’s vanilla. Granted, it’s really good vanilla, and definitely sweet, and melds well with the carrot cake cookies, but if going for something different than the tried-and-true. go all out. Maybe something like butterscotch and pecans. Vanilla’s playing it pretty safe, I guess.”
