A new product "Cookies and Danish Baked Donuts (Chocolate)" was released on October 13th at each FamilyMart store. The price is 138 yen (tax included).

According to the official website, this product is "wrapped chocolate cake dough with cube chocolate in Danish pastry, put cookie dough on it, and baked it." … Yeah, yeah, a lot of information!

Is it a cookie? Is it Danish? Is it a donut ??

I couldn't grasp the actual situation, so I bought a new baked donut. Let's actually eat it and check its identity.

When you open the package, you will see baked donuts with a savory flavor like chocolate chip cookies. It's bulkier than I expected, and it's also heavy. The size is about the size that fits in one hand of a woman.

At first glance, it looks like a ring-shaped donut, but the top surface is covered with a refreshing cookie dough and decorated with chocolate. The base underneath is Danish pastry. It is said that the chocolate cake dough is wrapped inside, but you can already see it for a while, the dark brown color that looks delicious.

When I cut it to confirm the existence of chocolate ... The chocolate dough was firmly embraced in the center of the ring-shaped dough, accounting for about 50%!

It is thoroughly kneaded!

When I tried it, the cookie dough on the outside was crunchy and chewy. The base dough underneath is crispy and may have a texture closer to a pie or croissant than a Danish pastry. The taste is very simple, and there is no sweetness that makes a strong claim.

On the other hand, the chocolate cake dough wrapped inside is soft and soft like a sponge that sucks in plenty of chocolate, and has a mouthfeel like a steamed cake. When you put it in your mouth, it melts softly and then the bittersweetness and sweetness of the cacao that comes from the cube chocolate (like chocolate chips) spreads.

The bottom line is that this isn't a cookie, a Danish pastry, or a donut, but rather a New Age sweet that has evolved from chocolate chip cookies into crispy pie-based bread . I wonder if it's more difficult to understand ... I'm sorry. Anyway, the taste is not busy because the outer dough and the inner dough go back and forth between the extreme tastes and textures, but this invites the next bite. I hope you will understand this feeling if you try it.

If you warm it up with a toaster and then eat it, the cube chocolate in the dough will melt and you can enjoy a richer taste. Try it when you feel lonely.
