Cheryl's Cookies

Ceci — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 01:27:04 GMT

I notice there aren't any reviews on her cookies. I also can't find anything searching, for comments on them.

I have tried them a number of times and never liked them. As a matter of fact, I've given them as gifts and received comments that they were not popular. Of course, from family members.

I just wonder what other opinions are on these cookies?? I'm always amazed when I see them still selling them. I don't understand why.

I got them as a gift one time and wasn't impressed. I think they are too soggy. I don't think they are worth the money either.

I've received them as gifts and I didn't think they were anything special. I did like the brownies in the selection I got.

Most posters felt that the frosting set the cookie apart from others. We did pick apart the recipe from a Cheryl's tub of frosting. Nothing special. It's simple buttercream frosting.

So get a batch of your fave cookies, whip up a bit of buttercream frosting, flavor as you like and you'll be in cookie heaven for about $6

I ordered an assortment of Cheryl's cookies so that we could see how They tasted and just how they were packaged when they arrived. We Wanted to send them to friends and relatives, but wanted to check The product out first. We were very pleased with all aspects of these Cookies. We have had these sent to people many times by now, Always getting a huge thank you. I think there are times they are Just the perfect little "thinking of you" gift!

Did not care for them, to hard. It has been about 3 years but I am sure they would be the same.

To me Cheryl's Cookies taste like unbanked dough. I don't like them and I normally love cookies.

I tried them once and did not like them. I've also tried David's cookies and they were mostly inedible. I no longer ever order any food item from TV, except Cushman Honeybells which I love and have always received an excellent product. Most food items on home shopping are way too expensive and are not any better than anything I can either make myself or can buy at my local stores.

I've never had a Cheryl's Cookie. Aside from the brownies and cakes, the frosted cookies generally remind me of the Lofthouse frosted cookies that are sold at my local supermarket. Can anyone confirm is they are similar or not? Cheryl's are expensive, IMO. I mean, how fancy can you get with a frosted cookie? Those Lofthouse ones are pretty good, if/when I allow myself to buy them.

I got some as a gift also and wasn't impressed. I would not order them. I did order Jr.'s Mini Cheesecakes for Christmas gifts. Used bill to ship to---I hope they were okay as I never heard anything about them from recepients. I did it as a convenience, but usually don't order any food from QVC any more.

To the OP ............ you should have titled your thread ......... "The Cheryl's cookies bashing thread"!!!

I have bought them several times, given them as gifts, and never, never have been disappointed!!! I buy mine from Cheryl's online! I love the $5 gift cards for seasonal gifts and all the people that received then, have all enjoyed them!

I like the cookies but no way are they worth the price. Walmart bakery has the identical cookie for $2.98/dozen. Lofthouse cookies are the same too.

I like Cheryl's cookies. I buy them every year at Easter time. They are pricey, but I really like the buttercream frosting, so they are worth it to me.

My 90 year old father loves them so I put him on the cookie club. At his age he deserves to eat what he wants.

Although I have not ever tried them, I have read here that they are similar in texture and taste to the Lofthouse-type cookies (I can get these at Target or my local grocery store where I live). I personally do not like that kind of cookie taste. But my younger son adores them and every once in a while I have to buy a package. Like every few months I give in! I actually have made my own "Lofthouse-Style" cookies for him and I think I got the recipe here on the Kitchen & Food board.

I think the Lofthouse Cookies are much better than Cheryl's. The best thing I've bought from TV has been David's Cookies crumb cakes. I've had them on AD for about two years and just love them. I'd like to have their recipe.

I was always curious about these cookies since they seem popular on the q, but never purchased them. I bake often so felt no need to buy them. One year at Christmas, my company received them from a vendor. I did not like them. Cookes are tasteless and the frosting overly sweet. Filler candy too. Not impressed

Well, that settles it. I have no need to buy Cheryl's Thanks to those who confirmed that Lofthouse are as good or better....and way, way more affordable, if I ever decide to buy any.

Once I bought Lofthouse for my father instead of Cheryl's. He thought they were awful. I thought they had a chemical taste. Cheryl's chocolate chip, and snicker doodles are great.
