Product: Liz Lovely Gluten-Free Triple Chocolate Mint Cookies – $3.99
I know…I know. I thought it too. Two 2-inch cookie rounds for $3.99? Are you off your rocker? But cookies are one of those things that seem to win out over price and logic at times when it comes to me. My guilty pleasure is often some variety of cookie, savored slowly, bite-by-bite, while all of the flavors play over my palate.
Naturally…some cookies are better for my foodie tendencies than others.
What I noticed first about Liz Lovely’s cookies when I was in my natural food store…was that they were (OMG!) cookies! Then I spotted that they were vegan (YAY!). And then…some were certified gluten-free (DANCE OF JOY!). Then I spotted the Triple Chocolate Mint variety and my wallet lost out to my tummy rumblies.
Chocolate + Mint + Cookie = WINNING!
So, yes…the cookies are a bit pricey, but they are backed up by their standards and amazing taste. Trust me.
Move over Girl Scouts. If Liz Lovely has anything to say about amazing mint cookies, your Thin Mints are getting a run for their money. Unlike the Girl Scouts offerings, Liz Lovely baked up a delicious vegan and gluten-free cookie that is brownie-licious and satisfying. Honestly, it would be Cookie Monster’s vegan cookie dream. If perfection could be captured in cookie form…the vegan and gluten-free Triple Chocolate Mint Cookies by Liz Lovely would set the bar and hold the standard. Cookie heaven on Earth.
These cookies are chewy and full of dark chocolate flavor. They should be, considering they are a chocolate base with chocolate chips and a chocolate drizzle. But these amazing cookies don’t stop there. No. They get an added bonus with a hint of peppermint oil that just takes them to the next delicious level. Each bite is soft, chewy, and has the perfect balance of dark chocolate and mint. Nothing too overpowering. Absolute cookie perfection.
I never took so long to eat a cookie when I bit into this one. I savored every ounce of flavor, every little bite. Every bit of chocolate was allowed to melt slowly as I savored it down to the last bite. Cookie nirvana.
Do mind the serving size, however. These 2 cookies are good for 4 servings, so you eat half a cookie at a time. Believe me…it’s not easy sticking to that once you have a taste. But these are meant as a treat, so give yourself 4 days of sweet indulgence. More time to savor every little bite.
Whether you gobble down cookies like Cookie Monster, or savor each little nibble to really soak in the flavors, these cookies make a rich, decadent dessert or treat. And, the cake-like consistency will leave you feeling satisfied. Trust me.
I haven’t been able to resist these cookies since finding them. If I am in my natural foods store, one of the gluten-free varieties is coming home with me. So, rest assured, the other flavors will get their time in my blog spotlight. But, with all that said, these have been my favorite vegan and gluten-free offerings from Liz Lovely yet.
Who needs Girl Scout cookies (which I can’t eat anymore anyway)? Tantalize your taste buds with these instead. Trust me. Two cookies well worth the price.
