Flew SYR-IAD-RDU earlier this week. SYR-IAD was the stroop, IAD-RDU the cookies. I actually really liked the cookies and while they're not better than the stroop per se, they're a fine replacement.

I was pretty sleepy at that point so I didn't bother and went back to sleep (it was the first drink service on UA1881 ... so maybe around 7:15am?).
Then again, maybe I should have tried one and reported back on if they're any good. Bummer; missed opportunity, heh. There's no award for being a "Flyertalk Guinea Pig" is there?

Interesting picture found on my post-flight survey from my flight yesterday. How long do you think they'll keep taunting us Stroopwaffel afficinados?

It appears that the Sroopwafel cookie is making a return to United Airlines in 2019. My youngest daughter will be thrilled!!!

In mid-December I had a flight with the Stroopwafel and a flight with the maple cookies. I brought both home. The stroopwafel disappeared. The maple cookies are still there......

And since my 3 yo daughter likes them both, we’re happy here either way. We still ask for the cookies (like the Stroopwafels before them) on every flight, no matter the time of day, and more often than not, the FAs usually find a pack (or often several) for us, so we always have a few at home. The Maple cookies will be missed, but the Stroopwafels will be welcomed back.
