Product: Enjoy Life Soft Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies – $3.99+
Snickerdoodles.
From my mom’s homemade variety to the gluten-free versions I have tried since having to take on a new dietary lifestyle, these cookies remain my absolute favorite kind. And it’s no surprise to me that when it comes to companies that take on cookies, when snickerdoodles are offered, they are often the favorite variety…yes, even beating out chocolate chip!
Never fails.
While out at the grocery after a stressful day at the office, my roommate decided to treat me to a gluten-free goodie of my choice. This is one of the most epic statements you can ever hear because there are so many products out there that I want to try…the trick is finding them and being able to afford them.
That day, since it was stressful, I was seeking comfort food. And to me comfort = cookies. Basic math, my friends. So, with the limited selection at the store, I did spot the Enjoy Life Soft Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies. Instant win. I snatched them off the shelf and they came home with me.
Now, I’ve had some hits and some misses with the Enjoy Life brand. I loved their crunchy chocolate chip cookies, but their bagels left me unsatisfied and unhappy. Their snack bars…well…some are better than others. But since their cookies rocked my world the first time I had them, I figured these were worth the try. Besides…they were snickerdoodles. They were made for me.
Tonight was the big unveiling. I was out of dessert options, but these cookies were sitting in my pantry just beckoning to me. So…after dinner and clean-up, it was time to settle in with a touch of dessert. And that was when I tore into these cookies. They are small, but most gluten-free, prepackaged cookies are. No surprise. What I loved about them was the obvious dusting of cinnamon and sugar on the top. Settling in with one (the serving size is two, but they last longer if you do it one at a time. Frugal thinking in this gluten-free girl’s life), I anticipated my first bite.
These were really good. The flavor didn’t stand up and wallop me in the , but they were very pleasing to eat. Very soft, like a fresh brownie right out of the oven. They were like biting into the dough, but in an actual baked form. Soft cookies are sinfully good. And these, while not as full as flavor as I hoped, were still good in their own right. It is perhaps unfair to try to compare them to the Snickerdoodles that have come before them, as these were distinctively softer, chewier, and just flavored differently. I wouldn’t flinch to pick up another box of these somewhere down the line, as they seem easier to find than my favorite brand so far (Udi’s).
Enjoy Life Soft Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies are a delicious dessert or midday treat. Honestly. They have great texture, and I love how soft they are and how easy they are to eat. No annoying crunches from your desk in the middle of the day. Just a savory, sinfully good treat that bring two-bite goodness to your gluten-free life.
Enjoy Life’s products are also free of the 8 most common food allergies, including dairy, soy, wheat, nuts, and eggs. So, if you have a food allergy, this is often a good brand to look to.
I’m sold. So enjoy cookies again…and pick up some Enjoy Life Soft Baked Snickerdoodles today. Because a little sugar and spice really is nice. And trust me…it is honestly difficult to eat just one.
