I would like to first start off by saying thank you to Laina for putting in the effort, time, and skill, in making these delicious treats.
I would like to thank Cohh for providing this really unique and awesome idea for token use! As well as providing us with great entertainment!

Here is what was made cookie wise: http://www.grouprecipes.com/22534/chunk ... okies.html, with some minor modifications.

There were 12 cookies in the package I believe (I ate some before I counted...) and 9 fudge bars!

First cookie impressions: Very well packaged and still fresh. Not an single cookie had fallen apart or broke, despite them coming across the entire country. Double bagged in Ziplock baggies.

First good look: They were pretty thick, with noticeable chocolate chips protruding from the light brown exterior of the cookie. Looked soft/flaky.

First touch: Picked up one of these bad boys and it separated from it's partner on the bottom fairly easily. It was pretty heavy for a cookie, due to all the stuff that was inside! It was indeed flaky and soft, but not flaky to the point of it crumbling all over the place when I picked it up. The chocolate chips were pretty gooey still from sitting in my hot mailbox, lol.

Omnomnom...nomnom....nom:  When I first bit into this thick cookie, it crumbled a bit on the sides, so I needed a plate for sure. The insides were soft and chewy, which was perfect. The first thing I tasted was the bitter-sweet dark chocolate and the unsweetened cocoa. It was followed by a sweeter wave of flavor from the brown sugar and some coconut bits from the ground up mounds bars. The finish was a delightful hint of vanilla. The cookie is very rich, due to all the chocolates inside of it, so it goes well with tea. I love sweet desserts, so these were certainly a good choice. However, they were not too sweet, to the point of being overwhelming, which was nice.

End: An extremely delectable cookie, that delivered a bit of everything that I really enjoy in a dessert. 100% worth waiting for and a truly amazing prize for the 2k tokens that it "cost". You can tell that a lot of care and expertise went into making these. I would recommend everyone saving up to get some cookies! I'm sure no one would be disappointed.   

Will post a separate Fudge thread with pictures.

Those cookies must have been magically imbued (the blue glow) in order to give off such a wonderful taste which causes the consumer to write up awesome reviews :p
