REVIEW:
These lemon cookies are certainly luscious. Their name does not lie. On first bite you get the rich, chewy and satisfying texture we all hope for (but rarely get) out of a raw cookie. The ingredients are cashews, lemon, raw honey, and coconut, all organic in this case, and each of the flavors blend together extremely well. The coconut is finely grated so it’s not overwhelming, the cashews provide a wonderful nutty balance, the honey is present but blends nicely with the coconut and the lemon is the element that ties everything together. It’s a strong and bold lemon cookie, but it definitely holds up with coffee or as an afternoon snack.

The serving size for these on the nutritional info is 2 cookies, weighing in at 150 calories. Not bad really, and taking into account you are eating nuts and other tasty-but-good-for-you ingredients, you can feel good about eating them. They even have a decent amount of vitamins and minerals so, in a sense, I like to look at these as decadent health food (ie. You don’t want to live on them, but if you’re having a cookie or two, you don’t really have to feel bad about it). Blessings Alive and Radiant Foods, who were so kind as to give us these tasty samples, has a wonderful website. They go into great detail about the care and thought that goes into making their foods, as well as the high quality ingredients they use. Bravo.
