Unibic Oatmeal Digestive Cookies

Now, there is no dearth of digestive cookies available in grocery stores. Every brand is doing it. We’re also sure that you have your existing favourite digestive cookie that you swear by. However, our recommendation – try Unibic’s version and you’ll know why it is on the list of the best cookies in India!

The best part about Unibic Oatmeal Digestive Cookie is its balanced sweetness. Therefore, people who don’t have a big sweet tooth will instantly take a liking to it. The consistency of this cookie is brittle and soft with just the perfect amount of crunch. It has an almost gourmet balance of saltiness, flakiness, and low sugar. 

Therefore, our friends on a diet looking for a filling tea-time snack cookie – close your eyes and pick this one up!

Karachi Bakery Osmania Cookies

Okay, before you try this cookie, we must warn you that ‘you’re going to love it and will have difficulty stopping’! This one, hands down, is by far one of the tastiest cookies on the face of this planet. It is soft, brittle, full-bodied, rich, crumbly and amorphous, all at the same time. Whether you dunk it in your tea or coffee – you are going to taste heaven!

The story of Karachi Bakery is as old as India’s independence itself. Osmania Cookie was one of the first handmade products of the bakery and became an instant hit. Today, the same bakery has expanded and become a prominent retail chain with many other variants that are all easily available at a store near you. 75 years later, we can still understand why it was such a big hit and continues to be.

Take our advice – try our personal favourite from this list of the 7 best cookies in India! Thank us later.

Cookie Man Choc Chip Cookie

Cookie Man is an Australian Cookie chain that has gained popularity and consumption around the globe. The Choc Chip Cookie was the original classic favourite that made this business rise to fame. Rightfully so!

This cookie is crumbly, buttery, thin, and just the right amount of crispy. It dances between your teeth before it melts beautifully onto your tongue and palate. The buttery dough will remind you of childhood while the gooey chocolate chips will give you a bomb of a surprise that you deserve and did not expect. Unpopular opinion: it goes wonderfully with coffee and as a snack but we empathize with those people too who would dunk just about anything in their chai.

Karachi Bakery Fruit Cookies

Our all time darling, this innocent guilty pleasure of a cookie is nothing short of heaven on Earth. Just like Karachi Bakery’s Osmania Cookie, the Fruit Cookie (or popularly also known as the tutti–fruity cookie) was the original hit that helped Karachi Bakery become  ahousehold favourite. Till date, it is their bestselling cookie and there is no way you should doubt why!

This cookie is so soft, crumbly, and melt-in-mouth that it can give you tears of joy even to think about it. The gooey and soft tutti-fruity or fruit pieces add to the innocent delicious character of this cookie. They’re not small in size but it is hard not to pick up another cookie just after you have devoured a delicious one. In minutes, the box is empty and you wonder why there aren’t more!

If you have never tried this kind of the best cookies in India, well, you’re in luck as you can order it online on Milkbasket RIGHT NOW! This cookie is a must-try!

Cookie Man Brownie Brittle

Imagine a brownie but a one that is a cookie. Or, imagine a beautiful cookie that is actually a brownie! Either way, Brownie Brittle is just the most perfect chocolaty brownie made brittle and crunchy to become a cookie. It’s like pure, unadulterated goodness of life. 

This cookie particularly goes well with black coffee or strong cappucino. However, feel free to have it as a snack, dunk it in whipped cream or toffee as a dessert, or dip it in your beverage of choice. We, as Chief Tasting Officers, give this one a full 5 star rating!

Orion O’ Rice Crackers

We know what you’re thinking! These are rice crackers, what are they doing on a cookie list? Well, we have good reason to include them in the list of the best cookies in India. Even though biscuits or cookies are built different from crackers, the Orion O’ Rice cracker deserves to be on this list. That’s because we’re making an exception for this special, surprising treat that goes really well with your monsoon tea or coffee.

Orion O’ Rice crackers are thin, light, crispy, semi-sweet, and absolutely melt-in-mouth. They are surprisingly so delicious that it is hard to stop at one. The best part about this cracker is that is very light and low on sugar. The sweet, innocent after-taste will remind you of all the good things in life. Take a leap of faith and try this snacky cracker and you’ll definitely thank us later. 

They definitely make for a great snack for little children as well!
