Amul Cheese Cookies Review – Crisp Cookies With Cheddar

Chocolate, nutty, and fruity. But cheesy? Nah! That’s something that we don’t associate with cookies.

Most of us have been under the impression that when it comes to cookies, nothing can beat a chunky, chocolate chip-loaded one. And saying that we were taken by surprise after reviewing this new launch by Amul would be an understatement. 

From their extensive range of dairy products, Amul entered the snack aisle with an exciting range of cookies. From butter to chocolate, the cheese variant got us curious. In this Amul cheese cookies review, we shed light on everything from taste and texture to aroma and flavors. Spoiler alert- this is worth a try!

Cheese cookies- do they taste buttery? Or have a more dominant flavor of cheddar cheese?  Sweet, savory or something confusing? What is the primary taste?

All intact or a bit cracked? Golden brown, too dark, or too light? How did our pack of cookies look? Are they thin, thick, or somewhere in between?

Crisp, crumbly, chewy, or cakey, what best describes the texture and mouthfeel?

7. Shelf Life

These cookies have a six-month shelf life. 

8. Price

A 50-gram pack is priced at Rs 20.

These cookies feature premium packaging. The glossy black wrapper looks plush but creates some hindrance as we tried to read the labels. 

The cookies are placed in a tray. A 50-gram pack holds six cookies. 

Visually, the cookies have a well-baked, wheatish brown appearance. They are quite identical in terms of size and thickness. As seen in the images, these are thick and chunky. 

They emit a bold cheesy aroma, and undernotes of a rich buttery aroma were noticed too. 

Texture- Fresh and crispy! The cookies seem well-baked and have a pronounced bite. Additionally, the buttery mouthfeel had us going back for seconds. 

Taste- The primary variant of cheese used in these cookies is Cheddar. It is a known fact that the more aged the cheese, the more intense and sharp are the flavors. 

The characteristic sharpness and pungency of cheese were tasted, although only mildly. As compared to aged cheddar, the younger counterpart has a milder, creamier flavor. The cheese flavor in these cookies is not overwhelming, so the slightly sweet-salty flavors marry each other perfectly. We liked how these cookies have a uniform taste throughout. The cheese has been carefully folded into the flour-butter-sugar dough.
