I have a confession to make. Before being diagnosed, I could not have Oreos in my house. Once the package was open, I could not stop eating them.
With that in mind, you understand why I was so excited to see these Glutino cookies. There was no thought to it – I saw the cookies and they were instantly in my cart. (You also understand why the package was ripped all the way across.)
At first bite, I thought these cookies tasted exactly like Oreos. After eating a couple – or 10 – I noticed some differences.
The cookies are a little less chocolatey and the texture is slightly gritty. The first bite is good, but as I chew, some of the crumbs are a little hard and gritty. There is a slight aftertaste that is a little salty and almost chemically. The middle is a little less sweet and tastes good. The more I eat them, the less I care.
My control group (my non-celiac husband) said these do not taste like Oreos to him, but they are pretty good. He dubbed them “Faux-reos.”
I LOVE these cookies! I do not mind that they are not exactly like Oreos. I do not mind that the texture is a little bit different. I don’t even mind the aftertaste. When I open a package, I eat more than two cookies.
