Found this one in the frozen foods section at Whole Foods...The box looks too pretty to pass up! The picture of the cookies is so inviting and you can just imagine the smell of freshly baked cookies filling the house. Not only are these beauties gluten free, they are also casein, lactose and peanut free and are kosher.
Indeed, the smell was heavenly. I had very high hopes for these cookies, though you only get about nine per box. With a family of four, you know someone was going to fight over the last one!
These are made with potato starch instead of your typical rice flour, so that made for a much more mild flavor. They were tender to the bite and much more of a "soft-chew" cookie than a lot of others we've tried. Cookies made with fava bean flour always throw me off, so this was a pleasant change of pace. The chocolate chips TASTED like chocolate chips - not like some carob wanna-be. These were very close to the original version I'm used to - and kept well for the two days they were stored in ziploc bags. Yes, I rationed them out!
My only suggestion to the company would be this - I would love to see a version made WITH butter, so those of us who are able to have it would still get that buttery flavor of the real deal. Other than that, if you have multiple sensitivities, this is a GREAT alternative for the cookie monsters among us.
