When looking for new snacks to try, I always lean toward cookies. They are hard to mess up, and cookies and milk is one of my top five favorite snacks.
I happened across these while at Sprouts during their GLUTEN FREE SALE the other day, and decided to give them a try. Enjoy Life offers these Soft Baked cookies in Snickerdoodle and Gingerbread flavor and they come 12 to a package.
The package boasts that they are free of the 8 most common food allergens (milk, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat), and that they have an improved taste. The "improved taste" thing kind of made me nervous; why not say "now better than ever before!"

I was more than a little bit disappointed in the size of these cookies. They are barely larger than an Oreo, albeit thicker and squishy. There are six two-cookie servings per box but I ate more than half in one sitting.
These cookies are absolutely incredible! Although you can kind of taste the date paste (I can taste dates in nearly anything) they are buttery despite being dairy free and they have the classic snickerdoodle cinnamon sugar dusting on top.
These cookies aren't grainy like I had feared they would be, and they warm up perfect in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
Each cookie is 60 calories, so at 120 calories per two cookie serving they don't fill you up much. Six servings per box is a stretch when these little cookies so are easy to keep popping in your mouth.

The cookies are just what they say they are: soft baked. They are extremely moist and when you first touch them they feel somewhat doughy.
The cookie was sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar on top and the cinnamon in the cookie itself made this snack perfect with a cup of coffee. Be careful though! It is entirely too easy to eat the whole box of cookies once they're open!
All said, these cookies are one of the best gluten-free snacks I have had. EVER.
