Thelma's Treats Double Chocolate Mint
Lizzy just reviewed new Thelma's flavor Sugar Cookie Coffee, and I unknowingly, but serendipitously bought Double Chocolate Mint, the other new Thelma's flavor. I don't keep close track of Thelma's line-up because, until recently, they've only been available in a few stores in the twin cities, but they're getting wider distribution and have finally made it to my local Cub! I actually thought this was a winter seasonal flavor and picked it up in a resentful embrace of the snowfall we recently had in Minneapolis. Like, dude, no one wants winter anymore. Stop snowing.
These treats are chocolate chocolate chip cookies with mint ice creams. Thelma's really nails the perfect ice cream sandwich cookie texture. Crunchy cookies break leaving a mess of ice cream, and soft cookies sort of smush ice cream out everywhere. Thelma's cookies are the perfect middle ground; thick, soft enough to cleanly bite, but hard enough to avoid the smush-factor.
The chocolate cookies reminded me of brownies and the chocolate chips were huge! They actually seemed a tiny bit stale or maybe they were supposed to be slightly crumbly, but that's the first time I've ever had that experience with Thelma's.
The mint ice cream was flavored with mint extract, but wasn't overwhelmingly cool and bright. Generally I'm not a fan of mint extract ice cream, but it worked well with the rich chocolate cookies.
These didn't 'wow' me as much as other Thelma's cookies, but lovers of mint brownies or mint ice cream will love them. However, as Lizzy said, even when a Thelma's ice cream sandwich isn't stellar, it's still pretty great, so I'm giving this 🍦🍦🍦/4 cones!
