This is the third of five reviews for Enjoy Life Foods Cookies. For this review, we tried the Gingerbread Cookies (affiliate link)
My son simply said, “I don’t like this. What else do you have”? My daughter made a face and did not say much. I think their biggest problem with the cookie was the fact that it was gingerbread and they did not like the sharp taste of the ginger. For me, it was the highlight of the cookie.
The cookie has a good ginger taste. The ginger taste is nice and crisp. My problem with the cookie is the texture. According to the box, these were soft-baked cookies. I was a expecting a soft moist cookie but the texture was dry and gritty which is a shame. The poor texture overwhelms the wonderful ginger component.
Needless to say this was not our favorite cookie from Enjoy Life. The top of this post has a link to the Gingerbread Cookies for your reference. My recommendation is to try something else from Enjoy Life Foods. Have you tried this cookie? What did you think?

The summer camp that our daughter is attending this year Camp Riverview for Girls called us to ask about ice cream novelties.

I was reading a blog post today on VickiesIckies (a great blog by the way) about how some parents bring cupcakes to school for birthday celebrations which the kids with food allergies cannot eat leaving them excluded from the celebration. Sometimes the treat is brought at the last minute or without being the teacher’s prior [...]

Next time you eat out at a restaurant consider dessert. I know what you’re thinking, “Are you crazy? Everything either has nuts or is cross-contaminated with nuts.” For years we though the same thing, until we asked about it. Most restaurants now are used to customers asking allergy specific questions. Many of these have a [...]
