Product: Pamela’s Products Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies – $4.39+
Gluten-free cookie makers…make note. If you are going to make a cookie that everyone, not just the gluten-intolerant and Celiacs among us want to eat…you need to make something that is full of flavor, delicious, and doesn’t taste like a box. While gluten-free goodies have come a long way since…before I even had to eat gluten-free…I used to try gluten-free items from Whole Foods every now and again and…yuck. Now that I have to eat this way, I am so thankful for companies like Pamela’s Products.
Pamela’s Products has wowed me once again. I don’t know what the secret to making everything so amazing and delicious, but I can promise you, even those who are not following a gluten-free diet would be astounded by the flavor and texture of the cookies. These are definitely not the first cookies I have reviewed from Pamela’s Products (I have previously done the Peanut Butter Cookies and the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Cookies…as well as the Simplebites Extreme Chocolate Minis…and I have eaten (but didn’t blog about since I was on vacation and forgot to take pictures) the Shortbread Swirl Cookies). What this proves is that once again, something as simple as a cookie can make a big impression.
Tonight’s dessert was Pamela’s Products Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies. These won me over at chunky and chocolate. I was so thrilled to open up the box tonight and pull out one for myself and one for my roommate. Dessert as easy as opening a box…yeah…that’s nice to have every now and again.
One bite was all it took. These cookies are super soft. For being processed and boxed…I was thinking they would have the texture of a shortbread…but I was wrong. When I say soft, I mean soft. That’s how I like my cookies because they remind me of being fresh out of the oven. The cookies themselves are not overly sweet. The flavor isn’t rich and buttery, but the crumbly texture almost gives that illusion. Actually, while looking at the ingredients, the surprise addition has to be the grape juice. I never would have pegged that. But I love how natural sweeteners are used. While the cookie itself is all good, the star of these baked treats is certainly the chocolate chips. Huge chunks are scattered throughout the cookies so that each bite is a chocolate burst of flavor. So delicious. For the chocoholic in us all…this is the best part of these soft, chewy cookies. They remind me of what Chips Ahoy soft-baked cookies were like…except much better (in regards to flavor and nutrition…for a cookie).
Pamela’s Products Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies are Dairy-Free, Wheat-Free, and Gluten-Free. The serving size is one cookie (they are about 1.5 inches round), which sets you back 120 calories and 6 grams of fat. These contain no high fructose corn syrup (Chips Ahoy do) and no artificial colors or flavors. Less sugar too!
So, if you are like me and enjoy a delicious, soft, yummy cookie (like I said in previous posts…I am a Cookie Monster!)…look for Pamela’s Products. These products have never let me down and I don’t foresee that happening any time soon. And I have quite a stash going in my pantry for upcoming reviews. But so far…Pamela’s Products is the name I trust when it comes to cookies, baking, and more.
It’s my own little gluten-free love affair…with one of the best providers of gluten-free foods on the market.
Really! Can you blame me?
