Product: Glenny’s Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies – $5.99+
I have a fellow WordPress blogger to thank for introducing me to Glenny’s Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies to me. So, this blog is for you, glutenfreegimmethree! I will never forget the comment you left on my blog about the new Enjoy Life Chocolate Chip Cookies. Your feedback and your recommendation never left my mind…and the instant I spotted Glenny’s products on a shelf…your personal favorite, the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies…found a new home in my pantry.
It’s obviously well known by now that I love my cookies. And, thankfully, over the years, the gluten-free world has become an overflowing stream of various brands, types, and flavors of cookies. There are brands that I know and tend to stick with. And there are ones that I notice in passing, but give no further thought to. Glenny’s probably would have fallen into that category if not for a recommendation by a fellow gluten-free WordPress blogger.
I cracked these open the other night to have as my dessert. The serving size is two cookies, but I once again limited myself to one. And that wasn’t an easy thing because this is where the magic of these cookies comes into play. One bite and it’s like you’re back in mom’s kitchen, reaching for the cookie jar or the cooling rack and swiping a cookie. At first bite, it was like eating something homemade. It tasted like the cookies mom and grandma used to make…the ones that never got hard, were always soft, and that you could eat by the handful and never get sick from them. Or, maybe that was just me. Regardless, the true treasure of Glenny’s Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies is that they honestly taste like they were fresh baked that day.
I can rave all I want about my favorite go-to brands. But none have ever ignited such memories for me. I know…it’s a cookie. But food can be a very powerful transport back to the past. Honestly…it was a comfort. And that’s what cookies are – comfort food. Glenny’s cookies are quite soft and chewy. I loved their tender texture. Despite the fact that they were made with oatmeal (not a favorite ingredient in cookies for me), this enhanced the taste and taste rather than distract from it. The chocolate chips gave an added hint of sweetness. And these amuse-bouche sized cookies were all-around perfection.
I couldn’t ask for more in a packaged cookie. To be that close to homemade is making Glenny’s a brand that now is close to my heart. Find these cookies. Buy these cookies. And eat these gluten-free treats wherever, whenever you want. Happiness is calorie-free. And with only 55 calories per cookie…you can indulge more than a little.
