Product Review: Goodie Girl S'mores Sandwich Cookies

[runpunkrun]

Goodie Girl cookies are so quietly gluten-free I have looked at them multiple times at my local Kroger before finding them in Walmart's GF section, picking them up to take a good look, and finally seeing the tiny little certified GF logo on the lower corner of the box. They have a Girl Scout cookie vibe with colorful boxes and playful flavors and even have a thin mint analogue. More on that later.

I started my journey with their S'mores Sandwich Cookies: One chocolate cookie, one cinnamon graham cookie, with sweet vanilla creme filling between. They don't taste like a S'more, exactly, but they are tasty and you can at least see where they're coming from. One box contains 24 cookies, but they're all in a single sleeve and only stayed fresh about ten days, so by the time I finished them the cookies were getting a bit soft, but they still tasted good. I liked these so much I bought them again and took a page from the Girl Scout Handbook and froze the next box to see if it would stop them from getting stale, but they basically became just as soft in the freezer. Still good though.

Why would a company be discreet about GF products????

I can't figure it out! They don't want to scare off the wheat eaters??

Yay! The birthday cake sandwich cookies are also good. I want to try the fudge stripe, but it's always out at the store!

I've been enjoying Goodie Girl for several years now. For my favorite, it's a toss-up between the chocolate creme and the mint cookies. I've had the fudge striped more than once and they are very nice but I prefer the mint between those two.

I actually prefer Goodie Girl chocolate creme to the gluten free Oreos now available (shock!!). K-Toos from Kinnikinnick are also fairly tasty, although I haven't done a head-to-head comparison with Oreos. I don't think I've tried any other Kinnikinnick flavors so I can't recommend any of them.

I have a bag of Glutino chocolate sandwich cookies waiting for me in the cupboard, and I'm thinking I better eat them before I try the ones from Goodie Girl because I'm betting they can't compare.

I like the Glutino chocolate sandwich cookies, too. There is a slight texture difference between the crispy wafers that I can't really describe but I'd say they both are very good cookies. My cupboard varies as to which I have in it since they come to me from different vendors. And don't get me started on the yumminess available from Pamela's...

That's encouraging! And now, since I've eaten all my other cookies, I'll be breaking into the Glutinos soon.
