Pamela’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
28th December, 2009 - Posted by Scott - No Comments
On opening the package the first thing I noticed was the smell of peanut butter. It was very appealing and a great start to an otherwise uninteresting cookie. As some of you who have eaten gluten free baked goods for a while know, the lack of gluten can lead to a coarse gritty texture in some baked goods. In the case of these cookies it was too much. They did not hold together well enough to make it from the package to my mouth, so I was left picking up little pieces out of the pack, off the carpet, and anywhere else they decided to disintegrating while I tried to eat them. Determined that I would keep get through the whole package eventually, even if it required a spoon, the box went back into my cabinet to be tried again.
On the second day, I grabbed another cookie and was surprised by the overnight transformation. After picking up some moisture from the air, they held together and weren’t as gritty. This was what I had hoped for in the first place. Regretfully, it didn’t last and on day three they were back to self-destructing. By the time I reached the third well in the pack, it was nothing but a pile of crumbs and I was forced to get that spoon.
I will give Pamela’s another go in the future to give the products a fair shake, but the initial impression left me unimpressed.
