Glutino Gluten-Free Vanilla Dreams Cookies Review

If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, have I got a yummy cookie for you! Many food companies are realizing how prevalent gluten sensitivity and celiac dsease are now, and in order to meet the needs of these people are beginning to offer many gluten-free, and beyond just the basics like bread and crackers. There are actually many delicious snack foods and cookies available. Glutino is a company that offers tons of gluten-free choices, including Vanilla Dreams Cookies. I tried these and have since purchased more than a few boxes.

Glutino Gluten-Free Vanilla Dreams Cookies Review: Look and Taste

These cookies are rectangular and look like typical sandwich cookies, two cookies with cream sandwiched in the middle. The color is a light cream with a vanilla cream center. Both the top and bottom cookies are embossed in a decorative way with swirls and the words "Glutino Creams." They are attractive and would be suitable to serve as a dessert or at a party. They are rather small, though, at pproximately 1-1/2 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide. They have a crunchy texture and the cream inside is thick and sweet. They really do not taste much different than a standard "wheat" sandwich cream cookie and are quite delicious and satisfying.

Glutino Gluten-Free Crackers Review: Nutritional Facts

Like most cookies, these have a fair nutrition profile and should probably be used as an occasional snack item. I always look to avoid partially hydrogenated oils and these cookies do not contain any. They are a bit high in fat at 9 grams of total fat per serving, which includes 4 grams saturated fat, but zero grams trans fat. A serving size is 3 cookies or 36 grams. There are only 3 servings per container and the cookies are packaged 2 per cellophane wrap, and contain 5 separate little packages inside, which is great for popping in a purse or pocket for a quick snack away from home. They contain 12 grams of sugar which is a bit high, and no fiber. Carbs are 25 grams with sodium being 75 mg. Some of the main ingredients are corn starch, vegetable fats, evaporated cane juice, soy flour, and vanilla.
