Simple Mills - Crunchy Cookies Naturally Gluten-Free Toasted Pecan 5.5 Oz.

I bought these as a low-sugar, gluten-free snack for tea time. The cookies are crunchy with a real toasted-pecan flavor and satisfy the craving. But the inner tray is thin—several arrived cracked. Better cushioning/seal would make this perfect.

Rich, crisp, almond flavored cookies that you cannot resist. Made with clean ingredients, you will enjoy these cookies with every bite. Simply Made products are healthy and use various healthy ingredients compared to other brands.

Just right. Not too sweet. Love the crunch!

These arrived alone in a paper bag shipper rather than a shipping box, so I opened it with great apprehension. The thin cardboard outer product box was slightly crushed. But upon opening the inner foil bag, amazingly I found only a few broken cookies where I was expecting crumbs only suitable for making a pie crust! Even so, I think that was more a lucky break, seeing how some packages are handled in transit. I have these on auto-ship, so we'll see how the next box fares... The cookies themselves are crunchy, small, have a nice toasty pecan flavor, and the slight tangy aftertaste of non-sugar sweeteners (these use coconut sugar.) Not as yummy as cane sugar, but good enough to satisfy a sweets craving without the blood sugar spike or other unpleasant side effects. I discovered this brand (they make GF crackers too) while on a strict anti-inflammatory diet, and kept their cookies in my rotation because they are good enough to keep me away from the wheat flour white sugar ones. Great to nibble on with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

These are great if you are looking for a little treat with limited ingredients. My toddler enjoys these and I don’t feel guilty about giving her something unhealthy.

So I didn’t feel like baking and took a shortcut by ordering these cookies. IMO and based on my personal knowledge of baking (and eating) almond shortbread cookies these fail miserably in taste, texture and overall. They were very dry and crumbly. Had an odd flavor and finished with unexpected heat which was odd. Maybe I just got a bad batch – I don’t know. I gave it a three star because other people seem to like them.
