TastyKake Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Did you know they even existed?  I got a text today from my husband saying my in-laws brought me a box of GF Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Well my first reaction was "since when did Tastykake start making GF anything?" Actually they make two different cookies, the Chocolate Chip and a Chocolate, Chocolate Chip.

Apparently, they are just being sold in the Greater Philadelphia area at local Acme stores, but my in-laws found these cookies at Shoprite.

Get to it .... your thinking.

I LOVE THIS COOKIE!!!  This cookie has the texture of a "packaged" non-GF soft baked chocolate chip cookie.  It doesn't crumble like most GF cookies and doesn't have that dry, gritty texture either.  They use dark chocolate chunks and there isn't a GF after taste that accompanies a lot of other products.

I was not told the exact cost of these cookies because they were given to me as a gift but my husband says the were in the $6-$7 price range.

Just The Facts


There are 8 cookies per package.  Each cookie is 1 serving portion containing 130 calories, 80 of those calories from Fat.  There is a total of 8 grams of Fat per cookie, Total Carbs 12 grams, and 70 milligrams of Sodium.  

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I have.

Welcome To My Gluten Free Life

Hello Everyone!!

My name is Bonnie and I have lived with Celiac Sprue for almost 13 years.  I found out I had Sprue back when no one have ever heard of Sprue, let alone a gluten free diet.

It was really difficult and quite expensive to live on a GF diet and I have to admit, I "fell off the wagon" a few times when GF food was not easily available.

I have made a commitment to myself and my husband that I will keep to a strict GF diet.  I also decided I wanted to write about new Gluten Free foods I find when I am out and about.  Review local eateries that offer GF menu choices and also, Blog about GF beer ( I am a big fan of brew).

I hope you enjoy my Blog and feel free to comment and share your thoughts.
