Chinese Chips Ahoy Flavors! Coffee and Grape Chips Ahoy from China

One of my favorite things to look for at Jungle Jim’s International Market is foreign versions of products we know and love. Case in point, I recently found two flavors of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies all the way from China: Coffee and Grape. “Surely, that’s a translation error—these must be raisin cookies.” Nope! These are legitimately grape and chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes, the headline just writes itself.

Chips Ahoy Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Review

Pros: The texture of this cookie is fantastic. The coffee flavor is strong and authentic. I’ve only had a few coffee-flavored cookies in my career as a cookie taste-tester, but this is definitely the most accurate version I’ve tried so far.

Cons: It could use some more sweetness. The bitterness of the coffee flavor brings this down to solidly-unsweet territory—strange stuff for a cookie.

Grape Chips Ahoy!

Chips Ahoy Grape Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies Review

World Market

Pros: While these aren’t labeled as raisin cookies, the texture of the grape inclusions are definitely in raisin territory. I know raisins usually stay in the oatmeal cookie aisle in the States, but I think we should explore the idea of raisin chocolate chip cookies. As for the flavor, it’s way better than I was expecting. Adding a little fruitiness to a chewy chocolate chip cookie goes a long way.

Cons: Are these my favorite pre-packaged cookies of all time? No. (I miss you so much, Post Malone Oreos.) Are these exactly what I expected from the concept of a chewy chocolate chip cookie with grapes? 100%.
