liz lovely cookies.

July 22, 2010

This post is a bit of a stretch for potato month but the ingredients list DOES include potato starch, so we’re going with it because we just can’t wait to tell you all about the new cookies we discovered…

The owner Liz states that her greatest love affair has always been with sugar. This same statement holds true of Aly. Since we spend all day together at the office, we often need what we call “sugar snack”. Not to be confused with “second breakfast” or “afternoon snack”. We take our snacking seriously. So on a recent mission in downtown Healdsburg for “sugar snack” we headed to Shelton’s Natural Food Market and decided to try something new. We chose these Liz Lovely cookies off the shelf for one reason alone…they are HUGE! Each package contains 2 giant cookies, perfect for our snacky design duo. And our purchase was confirmed at the checkout counter when the lovely girl ringing us up confessed that she’s not gluten free but she loves these cookies.

So here’s the facts about our new fave cookies:

The BRAND: Liz Lovely

The TEXTURE: They are chewy and moist with a good crumb. There is no weird sandy, grainy texture to distract you from the flavor of these cookies.

The GF FLAVORS: Ginger Molasses, Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Fudge, Coconut Lemon, Triple Chocolate Mint, German Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Chip. We’re working our way down the list but so far we’ve tasted the Ginger Molasses, Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Fudge cookies and they are all a pure delight.

The BONUSES: They are organic, gluten free AND vegan.

The owners have a solid mission statement that we can get behind that goes like this…
1. They make real food using real ingredients.
2. They create good jobs that promote healthy & balanced lifestyles.
3. They bring hope & joy to people living without dairy, eggs, and wheat.
4. They support sustainable agriculture by using organic ingredients.
5. They create opportunity for small family farms through fair trade.
6. They use green packaging alternatives as much as possible.

If all those bonuses don’t sell you on this product, just buy them because they. are. delish.
