REVIEW:
A few of us in the studio have a sweet tooth… I am one of them. When I saw these cookies on the lunch table, they looked so good and I knew I had to have some. About a week later, we finally got around to trying them. RS and TD took the chocolate ones on their road trip and loved them so much that they ate half of the package. TD doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth and she liked these, which really says something about these cookies. We had two varieties…Dutch Chocolate and the regular flavor which I guess is just sugar flavor? They were delicious.

Taste: These cookies satisfied our sweet tooth addiction. They were both great, but we thought that the regular flavor was just a little too sweet for our tastes. We actually preferred the chocolate version because it was actually not as sweet. The regular version seems like it took a dive in a sugar bath, whereas the chocolate one took a dive in a chocolate bath. The main difference is that the sugar is just sugar and the chocolate has more of a bitter flavor that offsets the sweetness.

Labeling: The labeling on these cookies was very simple with just a sticker on the plastic packaging. We’ve been seeing this with a lot of the smaller companies. It is a cheap alternative to getting an entire custom package made. One thing on the label that jumped out to me was that these were “handmade.” I love that it is handmade, but this also makes me wonder how accurate the nutrition facts are. I don’t know about you, but when I am cooking, I never make anything exactly the same. Is this baker exact with his/her measurements? If he/she isn’t then there might be a little variation in the nutrition facts.

Packaging: Resealable plastic packaging that is recyclable.
