Product: A Taste of Thai Toasted Coconut Fortune Cookies – $3.19+
I think a little tear escaped the day I saw these on the shelf at the grocery store. It was unexpected. It was out of the blue. It was…just at the right moment because I was planning on cooking up a Vegetable Pad Thai that following week, and this would be the perfect compliment to it. I had sworn off ever eating a fortune cookie again, not that I was particularly fond of them, but sometimes it’s just the novelty of a product that means the most to you.
If I could personally thank the minds behind this product at A Taste of Thai, I would. These totally made my grocery shopping night and when all was said and done, definitely worked well as a treat to have at the end of the Vegetable Pad Thai feast. The best part, of course, being that I could actually eat these…just like everyone else.
Each box contains around 12-15 cookies. They are all individually wrapped, just like what you’d get at the local Chinese buffet or what have you. When you tear into the little packages, a small wafer-like cookie with a rolled up piece of paper inside greets you. Extricating the paper is easy. A little twist and it’s free. And the fun fortune reading commences. But the true test is whether or not the cookie itself is any good. Normally, the fortune is the important part. No one eats fortune cookies for their flavor, which is usually cardboard-like with a lemon zip.
Not these. These are actually quite delicious! The toasted coconut flavor lends a nice bit of sweetness to the little rolled cookie. Gluten-free and a fortune cookie all in one? YES PLEASE! Honestly, when something this small can make my night, then impress me with flavor, then it’s gotta be amazing. The flavor and texture of these is amazing and at only 18 calories per cookie, you can indulge yourself in more than one if you please. I’m a glutton for fortunes, let me tell you and didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty when I gobbled down three of these in one sitting.
Fortune cookies that are gluten-free and delicious. There is a gluten-free goddess looking out for me. And thankfully…good things come of that. I am going to have to go get another box of these…stat. These are fortune cookies you’ll actually want to eat!
