Simple Mills, Cocoa Cashew Crème Sandwich Cookies - Gluten Free, Vegan (Pack of 1)

After many disappointing experiences buying gluten free foods, I took a chance on ordering cookies from Simple Mills. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! These cookies are delicious! These remind me of Oreo cookies, only better. The chocolate cookie is a rich dark chocolate with a pleasing crunch. The cream filling is tasty and provides a lovely balance to the cookie. I don’t write that many reviews but I ran across a few extremely negative reviews of these cookies and I thought I needed to help clear up their apparent confusion: These cookies are made with cashews but they don’t taste like cashews. Those of us who are dairy free are aware that cashews (& other ingredients) are often used to provide a creamy texture. They are a healthier replacement for dairy than hydrogenated oils, for example. While the overall taste and texture is pleasing, don’t expect it to taste like nuts. This brand uses a mixture of gluten free flours in their cookies like watermelon seeds and nuts. Just because nuts or seeds are used, don’t assume the cookies will necessarily taste like nuts. Want to taste a cashew, eat an cashew. Want delicious gluten-free cookies? Try these ones from Simple Mills. Are these cookies expensive? Compared to mainstream cookies with gluten, dairy, soy, and other allergens I need to avoid, yes they are. The prices on Amazon seem to vary a lot and the package size is much smaller than non-gluten free cookies. The ingredients they use are also more expensive than mainstream brands. That’s to be expected. I do closely watch the pricing of the cookies and don’t buy them if the price is temporarily too high. However, gluten-free cookies always cost more than regular cookies. In summary, these are great cookies if you need to avoid gluten, dairy, and soy but don’t want to sacrifice flavor. I’ve also enjoyed their chocolate chip, chocolate thins, and pecan cookies but these are still my favorite. Yum!

The cookies are delicious, but they shipped in a paper bag and are crumbled when they arrive. This is the third time. Not good!

This was not for me however I did try a chocolate. The chocolate chip cookies are the same brand company and those were very good but the chocolate ones with the cashew filling we’re just not my cup of tea.

These cookies were very good especially with a quick dip into my coffee. I think they could use more of chocolate flavor but definitely one of the better gluten free cookies I have had, will buy again.

no taste in the cookie or the cream in between they say it is healthy sure hope so because it tastes healthy like water

I love the healthy sentiment but damn, The aftertaste is kinda nasty. If you have a sweet tooth, these will cure it, while they do provide a quick fix for a sugar crave because the flavor itself isnt bad. Theres something missing that makes you want to eat another one, Which is a good thing? But also bad. Hence the 3 star rating. Not bad, but not great but i dont feel ripped off. Update. Im giving them 5 stars now. These are an AQUIRED taste. Kinda gross at first but for some reason I kept coming back throughout the day to eat another.

I bought these for my Mother. She said they are delicious.

Trying to get healthier snacks in the house and thought my family could try these in place of oreos. They were NOT good. Kids tried them first and didn't like them. I thought they were being picky. I tried them and immediately no. Unfortunately not being added to the snack rotation anytime soon and a waste of money.

I have picked up buy again, bought 2items...not only the 2boxes were more expensive but smaller in size!?
