Product: Udi’s Gluten-Free Snickerdoodle Cookies – $5.99+
Watch out gluten-free cookie world.
Udi’s is here with a vengeance. I’ve reviewed a few items by this company…from a loaf of their bread to their pizza crusts to the other two varieties of cookies that they offer. But the Snickerdoodles…they take the (gluten-free) cake!
Growing up, one of my favorite holiday treats was my mom’s homemade snickerdoodle cookies. They were sweet with a hint of spice from the cinnamon. The perfect combination. And I devoured them. It had been ages since I ate a snickerdoodle cookie. Then, while milling around a grocery store before heading into an evening race out of town, these little beauties were staring at me from an end-cap. And so…they were purchased and brought home. Hey…we runners treat ourselves in different ways. For me…it’s through gluten-free goodies.
The serving size is two cookies, but, as is normal for me, I keep it to one. Not to save on calories, mind you…but because it means I have more of them. Some cookies really are worth savoring. Udi’s Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles are definitely in that league. Hell, they are at the top of the list, for sure!
What I love about Udi’s cookies is how soft they are. Most people think gluten-free means hard, crunchy, and cardboard-y. Well, I’ve had many gluten-free cookies that are anything but that…and Udi’s has been consistent with their texture, flavor, and yum-factor. The snickerdoodles yum-factor is off the charts.
These cookies are gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free. They do contain milk and eggs, which can touch off some allergies, so check the label if you are sensitive to those ingredients. That being said, the sweetness of these cookies is from the evaporated cane juice and the vanilla. And…oh…the vanilla and cinnamon is a match made in gluten-free cookie heaven. Pair it with the light, soft, chewy texture of these delicious bite-size treats and you are in a (gluten-free) cookie nirvana. I mean…it really was difficult to only eat one.
So, out of the three varieties of Udi’s gluten-free cookies that I tried (chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodles)…these are far and away my favorite. All are good, but there is just something so special about the snickerdoodles. I hope I find another pack of them in stores soon (I seem to have to travel out of town to locate these delectable little bites) and bring them home to tempt me from my counter top once more.
What’s life without a little gluten-free temptation? Thank you, Udi’s…for some of the most amazing cookies out there for the allergic crowd.
