Product Review: KinniToos Sandwich Cookies

January 12, 2010

Since becoming gluten free after a Celiac Diagnosis back in 2007 I have been mourning the loss of Oreo Cookies. My favourite treat since early childhood, I had not been able to find a GF substitute for this cookie that did not taste stale or like cardboard… that is until now:

KinniToos Chocolate Vanilla Sandwich Cookies have really hit the nail on the head with this cookie that is gluten free, casein free, nut free, egg free and yeast free.  Normally if I see a product that is free from all that – it means cardboard.  So NOT the case with this cookie!

I am a big texture eater… if i am trying to find a GF/CF substitute for something I need for it to have the same texture if I am going to consider it a hit.  The KinniToos cookie has an amazing crumbly texture – an exact substitute for the gluten-ridden Oreo cookie.  I was so impressed with this cookie I literally jumped for joy upon the first bite and shared a cookie with my gluten eating husband who was equally impressed.  I bought a pack of them for my brother (also has Celiac Disease) and gave them to him for Christmas, I knew finding a cookie that tastes, crumbles and feels just like an Oreo cookie – would be the perfect gift.

The price is on par with other store-bought GF/CF treats at around $4.99 for a 225g pack – so certainly not an every week buy – but so worth it for the occasional treat.  Kinnikinnick also makes the sandwich cookie in vanilla and fudge. 

For any person on a GF and/or CF diet – I totally recommend purchasing this amazing cookie and enjoying with a big glass of milk (cows, goats, almond, soy – whatever your preference :D )
