REVIEW:

Aunt Gussie’s Gluten Free Chocolate Spritz cookies are not only gluten free, but vegan as well.  They are made with a blend of several types of cocoa, which is evident from the first bite you take.  The flavor is bold bittersweet chocolate with a lightly toasted nutty after taste that lingers a little on your taste buds.  Biting into the cookie on first blush, they are crisp, but not crumbly and rich, but not chewy.  They have a pleasant consistency and density that certainly delivers.  I think the true virtue of this cookie is its propensity for dunking.  After trying my first bite, I instinctively went for my Vanilla Hemp milk and I was finely rewarded.   The cookie brilliantly holds a milk-like beverage, blending its cocoa flavors very well with whatever you choose to dunk it in.

The company that makes these cookies, Aunt Gussie’s, makes a whole lot of other products some of which are not gluten free.  They, however, make their gluten free products in a special gluten free facility so these are safe for people who have a severe intolerance or Celiac’s disease.  The cookies themselves are a good size and require several bites to polish off.  Three cookies are 130 calories.  They are made with a nice blend of flours and other natural ingredients.  We can’t forget that these are indeed cookies and not health food, but when the sweet tooth strikes you, these are a great choice.
