UPDATE! Way to go, High Key! As you'll see below, one of the issues with these is the delicate nature of the cookie, so, in shipping, they can get somewhat beat up and, even though a bag of crumbled bits still tastes great, it's nice to have the whole little cookies. Well, my latest order arrived tod
ay, and they have replaced the flimsy cardboard box holding the bags of cookies with a stout, sturdy cardboard box, and, wow, all the cookies were fully intact! Very awesome for a company to respond to customer concern! So, just another reason to order, since they now arrive in great shape! Original Review Follows: No more bypassing the cookie aisle with envy and longing -- your keto friendly cookie is here! I know, I know, these are pricey. I'm on a Subscribe and Save, and even then it amounts to about four bucks a package, for a handful of cookies per bag, BUT, when you taste them, and know it's a keto friendly COOKIE of all things, then it becomes worth it, at least for me. And in terms of cost, a lot of keto foods are expensive, but I eat far less these days also doing intermittent fasting, so, overall, my food budget is way less than it used to be, so these wind up being an affordable treat, and, as I say, the flavor and deliciousness factor outweigh the cost. Other not so great news, for some, is that they are very fragile. They come in a set of three bags, inside a fairly flimsy box and, be aware, that if you order this along with something heavy, like an 8 pack of D batteries, for example, the cookies can get pretty beat up in transit, depending on whoever was doing the boxing up that day. Even received on their own, a few of the cookies are reduced to bits and crumbles on arrival. So, if you're looking to plate these up for company, well, the presentation can be a bit rough. But just downing them by the handful?? Bring on the crumbs! They taste just as great in little bits or as whole cookies, so I'm not fussy. So, eat the whole cookies, tilt bag, and enjoy the rest! Now, the GREAT news! The TASTE! The melt in your mouth texture! The chocolaty chocolate chip cookie goodness! Close your eyes and you'd think they are loaded with carbs, they are so good! I think the closest "real world" approximation is Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie. So, more on the side of recipes that produce a lighter colored cookie, than something like a Chips Ahoy flavor, at least to my mouth. I grew up on mom's homemade Toll House wonders, so, any packaged cookie is nothing like that, but, as a store bought treat, these are as good, and much better, than anything from the realm of processed sugar products. Let's face it, life on keto is missing some of our favorite things, and, while much of the diet/lifestyle provides super satisfying foods, part of sticking with it, for me, is having some tasty little snacks and treats. Yes, a lot can be created in the kitchen, but, with my schedule, these are heaven sent. As a dessert, a snack, or just to bring a little smile in the midst of life's storms, a cookie is very satisfying, and to discover a keto cookie that is this delicious is a huge win. Hands down, the best version I've tasted of a keto cookie. You do get a very slight cooling effect from the non-sugar sweetener, but it works with the flavoring and it's the closest cookie I've found to the ones from the carb and sugar soaked world. This company, in fact, HighKey, makes other keto snacks that have also been the best versions of keto products, like their version of the popular cheese crisp snacks, so this is a great outfit, and it's a huge help to the keto community to find companies like this that are making such lip-smacking products. I highly recommend! It's the one keto cookie to rule them all! Order and enjoy!
