A MAJOR supermarket chain has released five new cookie flavours for sweet treat lovers.
Tesco launched the new range of Finest Cookies earlier this month, with five new flavours hitting the market.

The five new flavours include Belgian milk chocolate, Belgian triple chocolate, Belgian white chocolate, jumbo oat and flame raisin and chocolate shortbread.
All flavoured cookies come in a four-pack and are baked in-store.
Tesco Clubcard members can also get their hands on the new flavoured cookies for just £2.
The plastic packaging can also be returned to soft plastics collection points at Tesco stores and the cardboard bases can be recycled at home.
An eagle-eyed cookie lover shared the scrumptious find on Facebook group Baby Deals UK, saying: “These new Tesco Finest Cookies look so tasty and are just so hard to resist”.
Online punters have also weighed in on the new flavours, with many people saying not much has changed.
One person wrote: “They aren’t new though, they’ve just been put in new packaging”.
Another said he preferred home-baked goods.
“Nah not for £2, make them yourself, much better, cheaper and have as many as you want,” he said.
The cookies have sparked fiery debate as other shoppers sang their praises.
“They’re delicious, better than the old version,” one person wrote.
Another said: “Aye looks amazing, loved crumbled cookies”.
Other people claimed Tesco had just ripped off competitor M&S’s popular cookies.
“Packaged like M&S, bet they’re not as nice,” one person said.

“Have to try these [and] see if they’re as good as the M&S ones!” another comment read.
The Tesco release comes almost one year after M&S released its in-store biscuit range, revamping an old favourite recipe.
At the end of November last year, the store also launched a Christmas-themed version, Gingerbread and White Chocolate, which earned particularly glowing reviews.
One fan said on X: “Those Marks and Spencer ginger and white chocolate cookies live up to the hype. Very dangerous.”
Another added: “Please keep the white choc & gingerbread cookies beyond Christmas. I need them all year!”
But while the taste has been praised as “amazing”, shoppers are unhappy the treats now come wrapped in plastic rather than paper packaging.
The M&S film bags can only be recycled by taking them to supermarkets, meaning they are less likely to be reused compared to the old paper wrappers.
Commenting on Facebook, one fan said: “Why are the bakery cookies now packed in a plastic bag rather than paper?! Backwards move. Not part of Plan A surely?”
Another added: “I hope they haven’t changed the paper bags to cellophane, as if they have I won’t be buying them.”
Meanwhile, on X, another fumed: “Why have you gone from paper bags for cookies to plastic? Thought you had a focus on sustainability?!?”
