I was the very lucky recipient of a package containing 4 complimentary boxes of gluten-free cookies from Glow Gluten-free<\/a> the other day.  First I have to say that Jill from Glow Gluten-free<\/a> is so sweet.  She is great to follow on Twitter<\/a> and we have had some good laughs over the past few days.  Some of these giggles came from Heidi at Adventures of a Gluten-free Mom<\/a> finding out that I had received & tasted a Double Chocolate cookie from Glow Gluten-free<\/a>.  I had tweeted that I loved the cookie & Heidi caught wind of that & then began the tweets back that I must try the Snickerdoodles immediately!  Take about peer pressure!  \ud83d\ude09  LOL!  Of course I had to oblige.  I couldn’t not try them at this point.  By the end of the night I had eaten 1 whole cookie & multiple bites of the other cookies to taste them all.  Jon was the lucky recipient of the remaining cookie parts – a job he did not<\/strong> complain about.  Good thing I am training for a marathon!  Talk about carb loading.  Maybe I will have to stock up on these cookies closer to the race. \ud83d\ude09  <\/p>\n

Now, down to the details.  Not only are Glow Gluten-free cookies gluten-free, but they are casein-free, trans fat free and preservative free.  Each cookie contains 100 calories and is between 5 – 6 grams of fat.  They also contain 2 grams a fiber – bonus!  I love that the ingredient list for the cookies is easy to read & the flours used are garbanzo bean & fava bean.  Healthier than using a white rice, tapioca or potato starch (though they do have their place).  Also, notice the adorable packing – how cute is that?  Very eye catching & clever.  <\/p>\n

Chocolate Chip<\/strong> – These remind me of Chips Ahoy, which I loved to eat as a child.  Jon adored these cookies!  I needed a glass of milk to dip these in!  <\/p>\n

Snickerdoodle<\/strong> – The cookie that Heidi made me eat.  \ud83d\ude09  These rock!  They have an amazing cinnamon flavor & as Heidi suggested this morning, I should crumble them up as cereal because they taste like Apple Jacks!  I see these as a topping to my oatmeal in the very near future.  <\/p>\n

Double Chocolate<\/strong>– I want to say enough said, but that wouldn’t be doing these cookies justice.  They are so chocolately, crunchy & exciting!  They wake up your taste buds & would be awesome paired with a glass of merlot.  <\/p>\n

Gingersnap<\/strong> – Classic gingersnap cookie.  I have always loved gingersnaps and these did not disappoint.  I would say that they would be great as a pie crust, but I don’t think that I am willing to sacrifice them for that!  LOL!  <\/p>\n

\"008\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I think I am going to take the plunge & say that these now rank up there as one of the best gluten-free packaged cookies that I have tasted.  Both Jill and her daughter have Celiac Disease.  I love that Jill says in her brochure that she was trying to recreate their old favorites (Mrs. Field’s, Chips Ahoy, Famous Amos), not create a packaged gluten-free cookie to resemble something you make at home.  I think that Jill & Glow Gluten-free<\/a> hit that recreation spot on.  Job well done.  <\/p>\n

Had to share one more picture – can you see that sugar on top of the gingersnap?  Mmmmmm!<\/p>\n

Thanks Jill & Glow Gluten-free<\/a> for sending us these samples to review.  We thoroughly enjoyed them.  You can find Glow-Gluten-free cookies at these locations<\/a>.  <\/p>\n
