Cocoa Cashew Crème Sandwich Cookies - Gluten Free, Vegan (Pack of 1)

After many disappointing experiences buying gluten free foods, I took a chance on ordering cookies from Simple Mills. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! These cookies are delicious! These remind me of Oreo cookies, only better. The chocolate cookie is a rich dark chocolate with a pleasing crunch. The cream filling is tasty and provides a lovely balance to the cookie. I don’t write that many reviews but I ran across a few extremely negative reviews of these cookies and I thought I needed to help clear up their apparent confusion: These cookies are made with cashews but they don’t taste like cashews. Those of us who are dairy free are aware that cashews (& other ingredients) are often used to provide a creamy texture. They are a healthier replacement for dairy than hydrogenated oils, for example. While the overall taste and texture is pleasing, don’t expect it to taste like nuts. This brand uses a mixture of gluten free flours in their cookies like watermelon seeds and nuts. Just because nuts or seeds are used, don’t assume the cookies will necessarily taste like nuts. Want to taste a cashew, eat an cashew. Want delicious gluten-free cookies? Try these ones from Simple Mills. Are these cookies expensive? Compared to mainstream cookies with gluten, dairy, soy, and other allergens I need to avoid, yes they are. The prices on Amazon seem to vary a lot and the package size is much smaller than non-gluten free cookies. The ingredients they use are also more expensive than mainstream brands. That’s to be expected. I do closely watch the pricing of the cookies and don’t buy them if the price is temporarily too high. However, gluten-free cookies always cost more than regular cookies. In summary, these are great cookies if you need to avoid gluten, dairy, and soy but don’t want to sacrifice flavor. I’ve also enjoyed their chocolate chip, chocolate thins, and pecan cookies but these are still my favorite. Yum!

I absolutely love these. They are gluten free, so I dont feel guilty about eating them and not bloated. Secondly, these have all natural ingredients, so I'm satisfied that I'm not eating artificial chemicals or preservatives. Lastly, these are tasty, unlike other cookies where the taste is compromised. I hope they bring out more varieties in these cookies.

Excellent cookies but watch the prices. I was on subscribe and save but it kept going up so much that it was less expensive to buy individual boxes on here. That's dumb when Amazon charges more per item for a larger quanity. Please get it together maybe learn from Walmart they seem to nearly always beat your prices anyway. I do love these cookies and they are fairly healthy for junk food just remember it's still junk food best to keep it to 2 cookies per serving or meal.

I love the healthy sentiment but damn, The aftertaste is kinda nasty. If you have a sweet tooth, these will cure it, while they do provide a quick fix for a sugar crave because the flavor itself isnt bad. Theres something missing that makes you want to eat another one, Which is a good thing? But also bad. Hence the 3 star rating. Not bad, but not great but i dont feel ripped off. Update. Im giving them 5 stars now. These are an AQUIRED taste. Kinda gross at first but for some reason I kept coming back throughout the day to eat another.

I was hoping these cookies would be like double stuffed Oreos, with a yummy Cashew butter creaminess. Unfortunately, they barely have any cashew cream filling! And the Cocoa cookie part, doesn't have a chocolaty taste to hold its own without any cream filling! Also they were a little pricey for the small package size.

Too sweet for me. OK now and then but too sweet for my taste buds b all organic but heck it's still kind of junk food

I'm not much on sweets, and these are definitely sweets, but they are amazing. The right blend of crunching cream. Delicious. It's hard to stop eating them. Also, the ingredients are what make all of that even something I am willing to struggle with.

So the good thing about these cookies is that they are made with ingredients that are easily recognizable and seem to be healthier. No weird chemicals. Also, they're vegan and gluten free, while being sweetened with coconut sugar. Overall, you can't expect something like that to taste as good as or better than regular sandwich cookies. I get it. I have tried Simple Mills Sweet Thins and they were pretty good. These are pretty bad. I will say that they were fresh with a nice crispy cookie. The taste was, to me and my family, awful. However, I suppose taste is subjective. The cookies also didn't make anyone vomit, so overall, I would give it two stars. My husband and I both tried one at the same time. Just as I was about to say, "I don't like them. They taste like hay.", my husband made a face and said, "Ugh. It tastes like an alfalfa pellet." He and I have both grown up around farm animals, so we both admittedly know what hay tastes like. Our kids didn't like these cookies either. We ended up throwing out the whole expensive package. I don't know if we got a bad batch or something because the majority of people are raving about them in the reviews and giving them five stars, or maybe those people like the taste of hay (no judgement). We don't normally eat vegan food either, so maybe this is an acquired taste sort of thing? I don't know, but what I do know is that we won't be getting these cookies again.

I have picked up buy again, bought 2items...not only the 2boxes were more expensive but smaller in size!?
