REVIEW:

Aunt Gussie’s Gluten Free Chocolate Chip cookies are surprisingly tasty.  They are not only gluten free but vegan as well.  They have a toasty sweetness to them that lingers on your tongue.  The chocolate chips are a bit small, but there are quite a few of them so you are sure to get a few with each bite.  These remind me a lot of Chips Ahoy cookies.  The texture and flavor are almost the same.  It definitely took me back to the days when I didn’t know I had a gluten allergy.  One thing that I did notice about these cookies is that they are a bit too crumbly.  On the plus side, they are crispy and are great for dunking, essential for any chocolate chip cookie.  If you’re looking for something sweet to fulfill your sweet tooth craving after a long day at work, these certainly fit the bill.

Aunt Gussie’s has done a good job with these chocolate chip cookies.  One thing you have to remember about these cookies is that they are a treat that you should enjoy .  It shows when you look at the nutrition facts and see that two cookies contain 140 calories so you shouldn’t pig out on these too much.  The ingredients are all simple and straight forward though so you are not actually eating anything that is all that bad for you in the long run.  The other nice thing is that the Aunt Gussie’s Bakery prepares their gluten free foods in a completely gluten free facility and using all natural ingredients.  Overall, these are a pretty good chocolate chip cookie considering and certainly something you could keep in your cupboards for when the mood strikes or take along to a gathering where vegan gluten free treats would be appreciated.
