Product: Katz Gluten-Free Colored Sprinkle Cookies – $4.70
I told you…I’m a cookie monster. They are my Achilles heel of desserts and snacks. Of course, these days I can’t just dive into a box of Girl Scout Cookies or those pre-packaged Toll House or Keebler soft-baked goodies that just tempt you from the grocery shelves. Nope. I’m one of the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) ones who can’t even sample those birthday cake Oreos, no matter how much my friends rave about them. When it comes to my favorite snacks, I either have to find a gluten-free variety or make my own…gluten-free…either from scratch or from a mix.
I think I’ve sampled just about every gluten-free cookie out there. There are some that I love. Some that I like. And some that I haven’t cared for. There are some that are crunchy, some that are soft, and each one has either won me over or made me vow never to buy them again.
So, when I got my deal on Katz’s products via a gluten-free web deal, I knew I was getting donuts and pizza crusts. I still had some money left, however, so I decided to give some of their cookies a go. My choice, the Colored Sprinkle Cookies.
Why? Because sprinkles RULE!
And the other day, I finally had the chance to sample them. It’s a good thing I portion these things out, because this little container would have been devoured and licked clean of every sprinkle and crumb. Yes…these cookies are really, really good. And here’s why. They start off with that initial crunch that you expect from a packaged cookie. But they are soft. Not soft-baked, chewy soft, but soft in texture. Smooth in flavor. Light. And the sprinkles are a fun, even if unnecessary touch. I loved the balance of sweetness that these cookies have in each bite. I don’t feel like I’m going into sugar shock. They are full of cookie-good flavor…that reminds me a lot of what shortbread cookies taste like. Crumbly, and sprinkled with rainbow goodness.
I have been so impressed with the products I have ordered from Katz. Not bad for taking a chance on a Web site order and hoping for the gluten-free best. Let me tell you…they truly deliver in flavor, texture, taste…and the price isn’t bad either. The shipping costs may get you, but the products, as I have found, are worth every dollar!
