Gluten Free Food Reviews

A Gluten free mint oreo? This, I had to try.

Since I already reviewed Mi-del’s chocolate sandwich cookies, I thought I knew what to expect-a fairly crunchy cookie, but with a mint twist. However, I knew I was in trouble from the first bite.

I took a bite, and thought I would break a tooth- I couldn’t even bite through this cookie it was so hard! This cookie was so crunchy it was diffiucult for me to even evaluate texture and flavor. A good soaking in a glass of milk helped somewhat, but held it’s shape despite a good 5 minute soak. The mint filling inside was thin, but thick in consistency and had a strong mint flavor that actually tasted decent. Overall, I can’t buy these cookies again, way too hard and crunchy to even enjoy.

PROS: Nice mint flavor, keeps shape when dunking

CONS: Way too hard!

One of my favorite nuts is pecans, so I was pleased to discover my local natural foods store started carrying these pecan cookies . I purchased this 8 ounce bag for $3.39. I went home, settled in with a cold glass of milk, and gave them a taste.

They are small mini-cookies that provide a satisfying crunch. In fact, they can be a bit crumbly if you aren’t careful! The corn flour gives these cookies a chunky, grainy texture. It boasts a sweet buttery flavor accented with bits of pecans sprinkled in. These cookies go stale fairly quickly, so make sure to store them in a ziplock or air tight container. I think these would make a good pie crust, all crushed up and mixed with a bit of butter, as an alternative to a graham cracker crust.

I wasn’t all that impressed with the overall taste of the cookies, they were a bit on the bland side and too crunchy for my taste. However, they weren’t horrible, and did not have any unpleasant aftertaste. I liked them enough to finish the bag in a few days, but not enough to buy them again.

Pros: nice bits of pecans

Cons: doesn’t taste “fresh”, a bit bland

I purchased these chocolate chip cookies from my local grocery store for $3.39. The cookies come in an 8 ounce bag and are the perfect size for snacking.

I purchased these cookies on two seperate occasions. The first time I purchased them, they tasted sooo good that I had to get them again. The size and flavor reminded me of the Famous Amos cookies I used to enjoy. The texture was a tad crumbly and quite crunchy. Likewise, when faced with the mini-milk dunk test they held their shape in the milk bath. You can also taste the corn flour base, but it’s not a bad thing.

However, the second time I was sadly disappointed. Even though the cookies were not past their expiration date, they tasted stale and had a bad aftertaste. I may have to try these a third time and post my results, but after try #2 I am not sure if I am willing to take that chance.
