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!

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.

Definitely tastes like a low-cal cookie, but I like it enough to buy it again. Don't expect Oreo cookie and you'll be fine. Thinner cookie, thin filling, and the chocolate tastes more like Cocoa Puffs cereal. Just think Cocoa and cream. The cream doesn't have much flavor, but it's sweeter than the cookie, just not Oreo sweet. The good thing is, your satisfied quickly. It must not have the Oreo crack in it that makes your devour a whole row.

I have never tasted such foul fake food in my life... The cashew filling was bad...not off but foul...gag worthy foul...which means it was prolly sittin on the shelf for a long time...the chocolate had a back taste of carob and was bitter and nasty... these are so bad that you gag before you can swallow.

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.

I love the taste of these. They are perfect for a sweet treat for my daughter and I instead of reaching for another brand. I love that they have better for you ingredients and are free of allergens. I first tried them when I couldn’t eat dairy, and they were the best cookies I found. The texture is smooth and creamy

They are pretty good cookies. But disappointing when delivered in a paper sack that gets thrown around everywhere. Cookies are broken. Will order from Target next time.

Yummy sandwich cookie that is gluten free with no Guilt!! This is the only brand of gf cookies I will buy if I don’t make homemade. Most gf taste bad or have too much crap in them. This brand is clean as you will find! Love everything they make!

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