For better or worse, we are a cooking-loving household. Being that it is National Cookie Month, I thought that it was appropriate that I was able to sample some Gluten-Free Cookies by Udi’s.
Not having gluten issues, my family and I enjoyed these cookies strictly for their taste and I was shocked at how good they actually tasted! Having never had a gluten-free cookie before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Did this mean it was flavorless or bland? Well, from the way my daughter, husband and I devoured them, I can tell you that they definitely weren’t flavorless. Some of the differences between this cookie and your standard one are that these cookies use brown rice flour and potato starch instead of white flour. They also contain cane juice, sugar, vanilla and tapioca starch for sweetness…making them irresistible.
For our samples, we were sent their Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Snickerdoodles. Hands-down, the chocolate chip cookies were our favorites. I loved how chewy and moist they tasted. It was actually hard to tell whether they were just baked or not because they seemed so fresh. The oatmeal cookies that were packed with certified oats and plump, chewy raisins were also incredible. The Snickerdoodles also contained a delicious combination of vanilla and cinnamon spices.
Another nice thing about these cookies is that if you have friends or family members that are gluten-free, you can serve these delicious treats so that no one will feel excluded. (No one will probably even know the difference between these cookies and the traditional white flour ones.) These chewy and satisfying cookies – whether they were gluten-free or not – passed the test for my cooking-loving family. Honestly, I don’t know if I could go back to standard white flour cookies after tasting Udi’s delicious cookies! To learn more about Udi’s, please visit: http://udisglutenfree.com/
My family was given samples of Udi’s cookies to review. However, all opinions expressed are our own.
