WOW Baking Company has an entire line of delicious Certified Gluten Free baked goods. The other day, WOW Baking Company sent us their new cookie, Lemon Burst, to try. What started off as a seasonal flavor for spring and summer has been such a big hit, that it is now available year round. WOW Baking Company describes it as a light and soft baked cookie with a refreshing burst of lemon flavor. This is a perfect description of this cookie and boy is it delicious.
The flavor of lemon is a very strong flavor that can be very tricky to master. After tasting this cookie, it looks like WOW Baking Company has done just that. The flavor of the cookie is great. It’s basically a sugar cookie with just a hint of lemon citrus flavor. WOW uses lemon oil to flavor, rather than pieces of lemon or lemon zest, to flavor this cookie. I think this was a great choice. Instead of the strong lemon flavor, you end up with just the aroma of lemons. Combine that with the light and soft texture of the cookie and you’ve got a home run here. WOW uses their special gluten free flour in these cookies, which is a blend of brown rice, sweet rice and tapioca. The texture of the cookie is most like that of a butter cookie. It is soft, moist and extremely light. It almost has the texture of a fine cake.
Overall, we thought this cookie was excellent. After having one, you’ll know right away that it’s one of those cookies that you will end up craving because it’s so good. This is probably one of the best tasting gluten free cookies I have ever had and at $1.50 each for a fresh baked cookie, it’s actually a pretty decent value. The shelf life is pretty impressive too at 21 days. It might not seem like much, but you have to remember that this is a fresh baked cookie.

Taste: The taste of this cookie is very refreshing. It is basically a sugar cookie that has a slight hint of lemons. The cookie itself is great too. It is extremely light and soft much like a butter cookie and cake hybrid.
Labeling: The labeling on this cookie is very simple. Everything is on 2 stickers; one of the logo and one of the ingredients. One thing that I noticed was missing was the nutrition facts, which can be found on their website.
Packaging: This cookie is individually wrapped in plastic.
