Crumbly Cookie Flavor-SSA

**Crumbly Cookie Flavor (SSA) 1% / 2% (11-18-23)** -- When I was first mixing this one up, I could already tell it shared a lot with SSA's Shortbread Cookie and Shortbread Biscuit . Testing it, revealed that was correct. Now, I'm not calling this a "re-hash", but, if you've already got either (or both) of the two aforementioned, you won't need this one. This one had the same great buttery, somewhat grainy bakery elements as I had gotten before, and with a nice underlying vanilla note. When I started testing it at my typical SSA 1%, it felt like it needed a little more, and I doubled it. It did get somewhat richer, but not double in richness, so the single flavor sweet spot might be 1.5-1.75%-ish. While not truly "crumbly" it did have somewhat of a dry-er, almost crunchy cookie texture, as opposed to a moist/chewy one, so that's probably the "cumbly"-ness. Tasty as hell, and VERY much a cookie, just not breaking NEW ground let's say. Sweetness was just about mid-level, and it tasted good at that level. All in, a new (but not new) cookie from Sobucky that shared a lot with it's previously release Shortbread Cookie and Biscuit, that still worked really well. No off-notes, or anything out of place, and hard to nit-pick except for the slightly weaker (in comparison) flavor, and similar profiles. It felt nice and buttery @ **9.0/10**.
