Country Ma'am is a very popular chocolate chip cookie in Japan. The texture reminds me a bit of Chips Ahoy's chewy cookies, but the flavor is much better. They, like many Japanese snack companies, release new flavors several times a year. The standard and most popular cookie is vanilla, but there are at least 20 different flavors.
How many times has this happened to you? You're trying to enjoy 16 individually wrapped chocolate chip cookies, but you can't stop thinking about how the flavor is nothing like matcha ice cream. Your prays have been answered. This cookie has two layers. The inside seems to be a small vanilla flavored cookie with chocolate chips, while the outside is the green, matcha flavored cookie (I'm not sure what the difference between matcha flavored and matcha ice cream flavored is, but I didn't detect any ice cream flavor, unless the flavor of ice cream is sugar). It tastes good, but not as good as vanilla. The package suggests cooling the cookies in the refrigerator. Tried it. Tastes like a cold cookie. It also suggests putting it in the microwave to give it that fresh from the oven taste. Tried it. It came out the microwave looking wet, but, and this is a miracle of science, it really did taste like it was fresh from the oven. On to the ratings.
gaybot: 6.5 (It's good, but it's no vanilla)
girlbot: 3 (again, I don't know what she's thinking. She took one bite and said it was awful this time. Why? Because she doesn't like anko (sweet red beans), but there is no anko flavor. I pointed this out. I guess she thought the chocolate chips were beans. She took another bite but didn't change her verdict. It's seriously like having a robot participate in a taste test. Anyway....)
overall: 4.75
