The Fig Newton is golden brown, moist, jelly filled, cookie. Some people might even say the Newton is not even a cookie, but more like a small teacake. As well as being very sweet, this rectangular, bite size snack is very nutritious. As you bite into it, the berry taste gets those taste buds pumping. With a crumbly, soft crust and a smooth jelly center, this cookie will definitely satisfy any pastry lovers craving.
Oreo's are an American tradition that has been enjoyed by families everywhere throughout the years. With a vanilla cream filling sandwiched between to round chocolate cookies, it makes for a very mouthwatering treat. There is a certain technique to eating this cookie, which makes eating an Oreo fun as well as delicious. First you twist the two chocolate cookies apart. Then lick out the sweet, milky center and then finish off the rest of the scrumptious cookie. Like Lay's potato chips, you can't eat just one. This crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, cookie will eradicate any persons sweet tooth.
The Fig Newton and the Oreo are two very different cookies. It is hard to even put them in the same category. The Fig Newton is more of a refined sweet, where as the Oreo is something you eat to please a sweet tooth. Deciding which cookie to eat basically depends on you mood. If your craving something really sweet and do not care what kind of nutrient content it has I would recommend the Oreo. If a healthier snack is in mind but you still want to satisfy that dessert hunger go with the Newton. It has been a typical battle of the snack food through the ages. Do you go with the chocolaty delicious cookie or do you make a pact to keep the same size pants and go for the healthier alternative. You know what your doctor would say, but in the end you have to make the final decision.
