Happy Friday and Happy first day of December!!! I cannot begin to tell y’all how fast I ran to my local Dunkin Donuts on the first cheat day after I saw these bad boys on Instagram. I am pretty much down for anything Christmas related, especially when it comes to food, so I was giddy at the thought of gingerbread and sugar cookie doughnuts. I know, Dunkin gets a lot of flack for not being as good as Krispy Kreme, but I love doughnuts so much I’m not at all that picky haha. Anyways, let’s get to it…
First we have the Sugar Cookie doughnut…
the middle…
So this doughnut has a vanilla glaze, sugar cookie pieces (or something like that) and a supposed cookie dough filling. First off, I was very happy to discover that this doughnut was a yeast doughnut because I feel like most specialty flavored ones are cake, and yeast doughnuts are just better (don’t argue, you know I’m right). The sugar cookie pieces didn’t exactly taste like sugar cookie, but still tasty, especially with the vanilla glaze. The ‘cookie dough’ filling didn’t taste remotely like cookie dough, it was really just a super sweet cream filling, not bad just waaay sweet. Overall this was a good doughnut, I did eat 2 after all, it’s just extra extra sugary sweet, if that’s your thing, you’ll love it. I give this a 7 out of 10.
The next doughnut was the gingerbread doughnut…
With this doughnut, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is too a yeast doughnut. It’s not a filled doughnut, but it has a really nice caramel topping with pieces of gingerbread cookie on top. This was my favorite of the two, you could really taste the gingerbread flavor and the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the spice of the ginger. The only problem were that the pieces of gingerbread cookie had the potential to be slightly stale or overly hard, but it wasn’t too bad. I would recommend this doughnut for sure and give it an 8 out of 10.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
