Product: Liz Lovely Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies – $3.99
So…this is the fourth variety of Liz Lovely’s vegan and gluten-free cookie line that I have managed to snag and try while out at the natural food store. The other varieties have had the chocolate base…so this time, I went for a little more variety…but keeping with the chocolate theme. Liz Lovely’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie was my vegan, gluten-free cookie of choice this past visit. And since I was working on a box of Glenny’s cookies at the time, this had to wait.
But…damn…these were worth the wait.
If cookies were rockstars, this one would win the Grammy. You wouldn’t even believe what you were eating was gluten-free, let alone contained no dairy or animal products. It’s like biting into a cookie pre-baking process. So, if you LOVE cookie dough, that’s what this is. But it is baked. Yet that fresh, straight-from-the-bowl flavor lingers and plays across your palate. Honestly…it’s cookie dough in cookie form. Which, is an odd way of putting it, but that’s what these taste like. Like I said…rockstar.
These cookies have that first initial stiffness to them, but they are chewy and soft. It’s the perfect storm of cookies. I mean, you honestly can’t a cookie composed of rice flour, dark chocolate, and other binders and sweeteners (of which are all recognizable and natural), that is not only certified vegan (YAY!) but also safe for those of us who have to be careful of the cookies we indulge in. Not every cookie is created equal, but thanks to Liz Lovely…those of us who need a special tweak to our cookies get ones that are far and away better than what any bakery, any café, or any weekend warrior baker could produce. These are perfection wrapped up in a plastic bag.
If you’re a lover of cookie dough and if chocolate chip cookies are one of your favorite temptations…get tempted by Liz Lovely’s Vegan and Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. But remember, your serving is only half of a cookie…so indulge, but savor. The longer it takes you to get through it, the more days you get to enjoy it. So tempt yourself, treat yourself, and do it with the best flavor and ingredients around. Let Liz Lovely treat you to her rockstar-worthy gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
Because if cookies won Grammy’s…I’d be handing over the trophy now.
