Every so often, I'll run across a product that I have to share.As with gluten free Italian food (see my previous post), gluten free cookies and baked goods in general are always on my radar.
Over the past year or so, I've run across a fair amount of gluten free cookies. My reaction largely has been lukewarm. Some have been flavorful but pasty. Others have been crumbly to the point of being sawdust-like. And, finally, there have been the cardboard hockey pucks masquerading as cookies.
Last week, we spotted Tate's Bake Shop Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Fresh Direct site and decided, what the hell, we'd try 'em.
I'm not usually one for crisp chocolate chip cookies. I tend to like mine more on the chewy side. So, when we tore into the Tate's bag and the first cookie I bit into crunched, I prepared myself to be hugely disappointed.
Then this toffee-like flavor exploded in my mouth with bursts of semi-sweet chocolate in every bite. The flavor was more like a Heath Bar with a crunchy cookie texture than a chocolate chip cookie.
Of course, I had a second one, just to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke...
My mom would probably kill me for saying this, but it was better than her chocolate chip cookies.
Anyway, there are 14 in a bag. They're satisfyingly sized at about 3-4 inches in diameter, so it definitely is more than a bite. Each cookie is 80 calories; but, who ever expected chocolate chip cookies to be health food?
Highly recommended!
