Product Review: Goodie Girl Fudge Striped Crunchy Oat Flour Cookies

[runpunkrun]

Fudge Striped Crunchy Oat Flour Cookies: Well, you know exactly what these are going to be just from the name, but I wanted them to be like the Keebler fudge stripe cookies of my youth and they were not. The oat cookie—the ad copy calls it a "shortbread" which it is not—is indeed crisp and has the occasional crunch of a sugar crystal for added interest, but, and I know it's unsporting to say this about a dessert, they're a little too sweet for me. The chocolate is perfectly fine, but unremarkable. I mean they're fine! But just fine. They're also much thinner than the Fudge Stripe cookies I remember and feel somewhat insubstantial.

Comes in a single sleeve of 24 cookies. Certified GF and kosher.
