So the other day I was feeling a bit snackish at Whole Foods and I wanted something sweet. So I loom over at one of the coolers and spot a Gluten Free cookie that I have always seen but never tasted.
This delicious treat is called "Moms Munchies Choco-Chunk and Hemp Cookie". Now as I mentioned before, a lot of Gluten Free stuff like cookies and breads tend to be very dry and lack a lot of flavor. But let me tell you, this cookie was possibly the best tasting Gluten Free cookie I have ever had. It was chocolatey, chewy and moist.
This hemp cookie has no flour or dairy and you really don't miss it!! Its actually made with almond meal. Once you bite into the cookie you taste a delicious almond essence and the cookie holds a delicious moisture which mimics a regular chewy chocolate chip cookie.
I like the fact that it is made with almond meal because a lot of Gluten Free cookie are made with tapioca, rice or corn flour which are all very high carb flours and will shoot up your sugars levels like crazy. That's why even though you can be Gluten Free, you can also gain weight due to the fact that these flours are high on the Glycemic Index (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index).
Now guys, back to the cookie... a fair warning,this baby is nut based so it will be high in fat and high calories , 230 calories and 19grams of fat. But totally worth the good fat!!
