This is the CookieTime The Choc & Chips Cookie, a special edition collaboration with Heartland Potato Chips, featuring 10% chocolate and 4.5% potato chips.

The cookie presented with a circular shape, measuring approximately 8 cm in diameter, with a golden exterior containing visible dark brown chocolate chunks and lighter golden potato chip fragments. Aroma opened with a medium-intensity sweet and salty profile, supported by light baked butter and cocoa notes.

Initial contact delivered an oat-like savoury quality alongside a crisp, brittle bite. The structure fractured readily, with the incorporated potato chips contributing a dense yet loose crumb that felt slightly granular. Through the mid-palate, the cookie continued to develop a savoury cereal character, while the chocolate chunks primarily provided sweetness to balance the salted profile rather than delivering the richer cocoa intensity characteristic of CookieTime’s chocolate chunk cookies. The potato chips remained integrated into the crumb rather than standing apart, adding subtle textural variation without dominating the eating experience. Towards the finish, flavour resolved into a lightly oaty cocoa profile with a softer savoury presence. Aftertaste carried a mild sweet-and-salty balance with lingering baked cereal notes.

The combination proved enjoyable for its interplay between sweetness and savouriness, although those seeking CookieTime’s signature indulgent chocolate profile may find the chocolate comparatively restrained. While the crisp, crumbly texture suited the concept well, the chunkier, heartier structure of the Triple Chocolate Chunk remained the stronger overall cookie.

Overall, a sweet-and-savoury chocolate chip cookie with a balanced flavour progression and a crisp, granular textural profile, resulting in a distinctive collaboration that prioritised contrast over richness.
