PatsyPie makes some excellent gluten-free<\/a> cookies. I’ve not had a chance to review them all yet; this is the first, and several other reviews will be coming soon.<\/p>\n

I like their biscotti recipe. When combined with the chocolate chips that they use, it is not as good as it could be. Good but not great.<\/p>\n

They are not too sweet – which is a big plus. They seem to use quality ingredients over all.<\/p>\n

For one thing, I think the quality of the chocolate they use could be improved. That would make a big difference.<\/p>\n

I find the combined texture of the crisp biscotti and the soft chocolate chips a bit odd. You might like the combination fine, but in my opinion, I don’t really like the combo so much. I could get used to it though if they used better quality chocolate.<\/p>\n

This is by no means a bad product. I think you should try it if you see it at the store. But I think you should try some of their other products first – almond biscotti for example, or snappy ginger.<\/p>\n

As far as allergies<\/a> go, their products are gluten free, but not necessarily nut-free. This particular recipe does not included nuts. It does contain rice, corn and eggs.<\/p>\n

Rating scale is from -3 (awful) through 0 (neutral) to +3 Excellent<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Taste:<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nTastes good but I prefer some of their other products.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Texture:<\/td>\n1<\/td>\nOK. Holds together well. I personally don’t like the combination of hard biscotti and soft chocolate chips, but you make love it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Freshness<\/td>\n1<\/td>\nTastes fresh, but some of their other products seem to be fresher.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Packaging<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nConvenient “standard” cookie packaging. Does not seal particularly well for freshness, but it does seem to keep the cookies pretty fresh some how.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Environmental<\/td>\n3<\/td>\nThere could hardly be less packaging. There is a minimum of plastic (just a small window so you can see what’s inside.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Quality<\/td>\n2.5<\/td>\n-\u00bd point for the chocolate chips.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Value<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nHigh quality. Not the cheapest gluten-free cookie on the shelf, but at least they give you something good for what you pay.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

If you have to buy rather than make gluten-free cookies, this brand is one my favourites. Some of their products are better than others.
