My Thoughts:

I love cookies, and usually reach for these when I am looking for a mid-morning or late afternoon snack.  But, it is hard to find cookies that are not only tasty, but healthy for you, without all those added sugars and artificial flavors other brands add to their cookies.  I have tried a handful of gluten-free cookies in the past, but didn't care for their flavor.  They either tasted like cardboard, or left a funny aftertaste.  So, even though I have tried other products from Enjoy Life, I was keeping an open mind, in regards to how these cookies would taste, based upon my previous poor experiences.  

I was sent samples of the four flavors shown above to try.  As far as cookies go, I usually prefer soft cookies, which taste like they were freshly baked.  These are great to dip in hot teas and hot chocolate.  I find that crunchy cookies usually begin to crumble, and are hard to eat after you take the first bite.  But, I was pleasantly surprised after trying each of the flavors, as they not only tasted amazing, but they didn't crumble.  They were easy to eat and stored great.  A few days later, they still had that crunch and tasted fresh.  

Which flavor was my favorite?  Being a chocolate lover :-), I have to say my favorite was the Crunchy Double Chocolate handcrafted cookies from Enjoy Life.  I couldn't believe how rich and delicious they tasted, without dairy or nuts being added. The chocolate chip cookie version was a close second. And, with 14 cookies per box, these healthy treats will feed a family of 4 for a few snack times.  My daughter, Savannah, loved to nibble on her favorite, the Vanilla Honey Graham cookie, as an after dinner snack.  I will definitely be buying more of Enjoy Life's crunchy cookies the next time I go shopping, and can't wait to try other products from their growing product line.
