Enjoy Life Soft-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies- milk, corn egg, nut, soy, gluten, wheat free; kosher
I was very curious about these cookies. How wonderful would it be to have a ready made gluten free chocolate chip cookie that was soft and yummy? I hoped this was the answer.
I purchased these cookies at a local grocer near my parents home the last time I was there for a visit. I paid $3.99 for a package of 12 very small cookies. Inside, the cookies were encased in a plastic sleeve to protect from mashing together ( I assume). The packaging worked! The cookies made it to my home, intact, separated and ready to eat.
I found these cookies to be very soft, but dense; a cookie you can really sink you teeth into. They hold their shape with no crumbling or graininess with just a hint of dryness. The cookies are dotted with miniature chocolate chips. Unfortunately, the chocolate chips looked and tasted stale, and the cookies had a strong date flavor that added a fruity sweetness to the cookies.I was disappointed at the lack of chocolate chips, despite the box boasting of “more” chocolate chips. I started to wonder if this cookie even tasted like a chocolate chip cookie! In reality, it tasted OK, but not quite the traditional tasting soft baked C.C. cookie I was hoping for. I am starting to think I am just too picky. I am not sure if that is good or bad!
Pros: soft and chewy, naturally sweetened
Cons: not a traditional chocolate chip cookie flavor, strong date/fruit flavor

I enjoyed the background flavour of fruit, I thought it gave the cookies a nice little zip. These cookies are great for a little snack at work or on the go.

If you want a nice, small, soft CC cookie that tastes more like what you expect a CC cookie to taste like, try the Aricon brand. These also come in a sealed foil pouch like the Enjoy Life ones, but I think the flavor is a lot better. They seem to stay fresh for a good while, too.

That sounds great Peggy! I will definitely give those a try and write a review. Thanks for the heads up!
