K-Toos Cookies
I think it’s funny that I’ve only done three or four posts here so far, but two of them are about cookies. I have a problem.
Okay, if you’ve tried gluten-free cookies, you know that it’s a miracle if you find one that doesn’t taste like a big bite of rice flour.
Kinnikinnick, the people who make a decent English muffin, makes a brand of cookies called K-Toos that aren’t horrible. They make a blonde version of these with vanilla cookies that I’m not as fond of. You definitely get that powdery gritty texture, but still…IT’S A COOKIE! These chocolate Orefauxs as I like to call them, are pretty good. Better texture, slight rice aftertaste, but not objectionable. Since they are 60 calories apiece, my theory is that they load them up with sugar so they taste better.
I don’t know that there will ever be a gluten-free cookie that is as good as the real thing, but these are certainly edible and even enjoyable. At $5.19 for 21 cookies, they are expensive as is everything from Kinnikinnick. But, you know, THEY’RE COOKIES!

Cookies are important. If you like peanut butter, Pamela’s Peanut Butter cookies are good - but fattening. Pamela’s Ginger Snaps aren’t bad either. I miss cookies the most.

Hey. I just realized my mom actually has a gluten free recipe for muffins that aren’t terrible. After having tried so many that I could not even swallow these were a welcome surprise. She made them with almond flour, which I’m sure they sell somewhere, but it was cheaper to just put the almonds in a food processor. Anyway, the recipe basically involved almond flour and cans of pumpkin pie filling. If you’re interested I could find the recipe for you.
