Liz Lovely has done it again.
Literally.
On another visit to my favorite natural foods store, I followed through with tradition and picked up yet another gluten-free cookie as a treat to myself. Because life without a little indulgence isn’t really life. And who can beat a delicious vegan and gluten-free treat? Not me. Especially when it involves chocolate.
Chocolate is my kryptonite. We all have weaknesses and I am not ashamed to admit this…at all. Put chocolate in cookie form and I’m yours forever. Especially these days when cookies I can eat are harder to come by…and way more complicated to bake (but I’m working on that!).
What wasn’t to love about Liz Lovely’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Fudge Cookie? One bite…and I think I melted away with the goodness. Honestly. This one came close to beating out her Triple Chocolate Mint as my favorite. Close. These cookies have a bit of a crunch on the outside…but are crumbly and soft on the inside. Dusted with a fine coat of sugar, these cookies are sinful…in all the best ways. It’s like biting into a brownie…without the heaviness associated with that. In fact, a nice added treat was that these cookies had little chocolate chips sprinkled throughout them…for an added chocolate bonus. Not too filling…light…soft…chewy…oh, and trans-fat free! WINNING!
Yes…I have a sweet tooth! But treating myself to 1/2 of an amazing gluten-free and vegan cookie (the serving size) every now and again at the end of the day is a nice reward. Everything in moderation is okay. And, despite how amazing the Liz Lovely cookies are, I do manage to pace myself on consumption and stick to the serving size. It just means I have more days to enjoy and savor the treat.
For moist, melt-in-your-mouth, soft, vegan, and gluten-free cookie goodness…find Liz Lovely cookies and take a bite of awesomeness. Each variety I have tried has been amazing. Gluten-free and vegan cookies that honestly do put brownies to shame. Treat yourself. Share with a friend. Indulge a little.
With cookies as amazing as this…it’s more than allowed. It’s encouraged!
