When I was given a chance to review Butterfly Bakery's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies I was happy to oblige. I do not eat gluten free but I have a growing interest in improving my diet and that of my family.
I have to say our family eats very healthy, as we do not eat much junk food in or out of our house, we eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and we enjoy home-cooked meals daily ... however there is always room for improvement and there is always time and need for an indulgence here and there, and if the indulgence happens to be a healthy option well ... this is always a positive point.
First of all I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Butterfly Bakery for sending me the products free of charge, my only responsibility is to provide an honest review.
I must admit I was hesitant as I am not to knowledgeable on gluten-free eating and did not know what to expect.
I figured I would start with calorie content, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the calorie count and total fat count are significant lower than my go to ready made chocolate chip cookie dough.
I then proceeded to taste the cookies with my family ... Mr. semplicemente j ... absolutely adored them ... he actually found a slight licorice undertone ... and loved the fact that they were on the light, crispier side ... this however was my daughter's complaint ... she enjoyed the cookies but would have rather they be chewier, most likely because this is the way she has been accustomed to eating chocolate chip cookies.
The mind is an incredible thing, it stores along with information much misinformation and many preconceptions ... looking back I think I should have not told them much about what I was doing, and just offered some cookies for them to munch on ... I think my daughter was just comparing the two cookies and for this reason asked for a chewier cookie.
I myself was able to tackle the task at hand ... I bit into them ... I immediately saw from their appearance that they were going to be crispy cookies, however they are still moist ... I found a slightly nutty hint to them ... though I would not describe them as your traditional chocolate chip cookie taste, these are a delicious treat for the family to enjoy, and with the added benefit of being gluten free.
... I am unable to review on how they stand the test of time because Mr. semplicemente ... j did not leave much for me to test ... in a way that is a good thing, right!
I have emailed the company to tell me where to find the products so I will be able to advise about pricing and selection at the store.
