There’s nothing like milk and cookies as a late night snack (or anytime for that matter).  This, of course, becomes a conundrum when living a gluten-free (GF) life.  I grew up downing Oreos like it was nobody’s business – and forget about the Double Stufs … man, those were the good ole days.  In my quest to find (or bake myself) some tasty GF cookies, I finally found some!  Enjoy Life is a company with a mission – to create incredibly delectable food for those of us with non-so-enjoyable intolerances.  All of their products are free of the top eight most common allergens (wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soy, fish and shellfish).  They have a great line of products that range from bread to cereal to cookies.

While I have tried most of their products, I must say that my favorites are the Snickerdoodle and Gingerbread Spice cookies.  They are heavenly.  Put them up against a similar batch loaded with wheat, eggs and the traditional ingredients, and I’m sure you’ll find that these will most certainly come out on top.  Most GF cookies are lacking in moisture, they have no lift (due to lack of wheat), and the texture tends to be grainy – they just miss the mark and leave your mouth wondering “where’s the wheat?”  Enjoy Life’s cookies in no way fall into this category.  Through a fascinating (how did you think of using that?) blend of fruit pastes, fruit juices, and sorghum flour, the folks at Enjoy Life have truly made a cookie that lives up to its distant wheat-filled relative; it reminds me that I can have cookies again.

No longer do I long for a good GF cookie … I just buy some of these and my cravings are satisfied.  Although, I have to admit, when I first found them, I ate so many, I was completely qwow’d!!  It passes though … and a good follow up of milk washed it right down.

You can find the Snickerdoodle and Gingerbread Spice cookies, as well as other Enjoy Life products on Amazon.com, or in your local health food market.  Visit Enjoy Life for more information.
