It's raining (chess)men! Hallelujah? I wouldn't go that far. These are striking in appearance, a very bright orange buttery top not represented by the packaging. The taste is identical to my grandma's cinnamon log cookies (something like these, I think), which were always my least favorite holiday cookie (but still delicious). More dense and gritty cookie than a shortbread (or than the other chessmen), so at least it's unique. I guess that's down to cinnamon+molasses, plus less butter/shortening(?). It's less delicious than the other chessmen, because butter > cinnamon, but if you like a cinnamon dessert, this is a great iteration of it. Plus there is still a nice buttery undertone, and a mild cronchiness. Less good than the OGs, though, for me.
Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10
