I don't keep cookies in the house often because....I EAT THEM! And too many at a time. Easier just not to have them tempting me.
But from time to time, I want a COOKIE! I saw these and read reviews and ingredients and thought what the heck?
WAS NOT expecting what I got.
MY EXPERIENCE:
TASTE - where do I start? I REALLY love the taste, but can't quite put my finger on WHY. They have a kind of buttery taste. They taste really rich for something that's supposed to be healthier. They don't taste like any other chocolate chip cookie I've had. And at this price point, if you like chocolate chip cookies, I would say, give them a try. THESE will be my new go to when I haven't had cookies for awhile and order.
TEXTURE - and this gets even more interesting than taste. LOVE the texture. I don't see them as hard, as in stale, or like a rock, there is a kind of flakiness, but that's not quite it. They almost dissolve in my mouth. I do dip them in vanilla almond milk, but can't for long, because they will dissolve.
INGREDIENTS - Why I decided to try in the first place. These are NOT a diet cookie! I blew my calories and fat for the day on these, but they do have healthier ingredients or I should say LACK the really bad stuff like high fructose corn syrup (which seems to be in just about everything and is NOT good for a body).
CHOCOLATE CHIPS - Very happy with the number of chips. I didn't feel they skimped.
PACKAGING - This was impressive. I read reviews some got the box of cookies in a padded envelope. Don't know too many brands of cookies that would survive that. Mine came in an Amazon box in perfect condition. I also liked the foil inner packaging AND inside that, the cookies weren't LOOSE, but in a nice plastic container. Well done.
PRICE - For quality, taste, overall satisfaction, REALLY GREAT PRICE.
BOTTOMLINE: WOULD SO get these again. If you want to try a chocolate chip cookie a little healthier and you're not worried about calories or fat (these aren't over the top, but it's hard to eat just two!), at this price, I would say give them a try. They're not super soft, but I didn't find them hard and they don't have a chemical or fake taste as some store bought cookies can. Go ahead, spend a few bucks. You might be a convert to these too :-)
