As of 07/24 they have lost all appeal and taste like the bland, mass produced chocolate chip cookies. Used to be able to taste the butter, Yum. Not any more. Rats and will not buy them any more. Such a shame but my body thanks you at the same time! Not a good recommendation


Not only bland, the PP has it right that they lost their distinct crisp. They used to be crispy sort of like a kettle cooked potato chip if that makes sense; not they are crumbly and just fall apart.

Yuck! They taste like sand.

Yeah won't buy them again. They odviously aren't using real butter. They are also not crisp anymore.

Package cookies were once good? I'd rather abstain than eat cookies that have been sitting on a shelf for God-knows how long.

A mention of ginger cookies made me long for Carr’s ginger lemon cremes. Does anyone know if they have been discontinued or have an update?

I’ve never understood the weird East Coast fascination with Tate’s. Bland and just average at best.

The isolated chocolate chips don’t even really have a chocolate taste. And no, I didn’t lose my taste from Covid. The ingredient list looks the same as it used to, so maybe they haven’t changed, it’s just always been a pretty bland cookie? I don’t know.



They are gross bake your own.
Tasty has an easy recipe takes like ten minutes in a bowl plus refrigeration for half hour. Have kids help and freeze them .pull out whenever microwave10 seconds or toaster oven for a min or two Omg so good

Isn't the real reason because certain trans fats were banned? I heard that's why all the cookies got very bad all of a sudden.

I'm not some amazing baker, but homemade chocolate cookies are so, so much better than any boxed cookie. I just can't buy boxed cookies because they're disappointing (except oreos!)

I got a bag of oatmeal raisin and they are still super addictive.

I agree the chocolate chip seem sort of off.
