I have tried many, many, gluten and dairy free cookies in my sixteen years of not being able to eat wheat flour and cow's milk based products. Back in those days, Pamela's Cookies were about the only gluten free game in town. I liked her cookies but did not love them so I began the process of making up my own recipes. I then loved mine so much that I rarely bought cookies off the shelves.
The other night, a dear friend was visiting me. She bought these cookies with her and, in my desperation for a midnight snack, I opened the box and began eating. Love at first bite! That's what happened.
The texture of this cookie is perfect. It does not have that grainy, rice flour feel. With 89% organic ingredients, these cookies are gluten and dairy free although, they do have a disclaimer that states, "May contain traces of milk." Due to shared equipment, that is.
The flavor is my favorite part. They are rich, dark and super delicious with a great balance of sweetness to chocolate. They are soft as well and I love a soft cookie. The chunks of chocolate are big and tasty and do not detract from the cake of the cookie.
So, now, I have a cookie I can buy if I do not feel like making them. The best part is I like them as much as my own!
