This cookie is sold in individual packages. It is about the size of my hand and weighs around 100g. A rather large size for a cookie. It says on the package that this single cookie is two servings. Please, one cookie is two servings? Make the cookie smaller. One cookie being two servings is just not practical. Anyway…

Experience
On the package it reads: “A mouth watering combination of tangy lemon and crunchy sweetness will make this a refreshment favorite.”

The cookie is rather soft, not crunchy by any means. The texture feels more like a coffee cake than a cookie, which is not a bad thing. The sweetness is fine, not too sweet. The “tangy lemon” taste on the other hand could have been a little less. It’s a bit too intense and leaves some lemony aftertaste I could do without.

Nana's No Gluten Lemon Cookie

The cookie as a whole has a rich taste  and is quite filling. So maybe the 2 portion part is not wrong after all.  The taste reminds me of a cake I liked to eat as a child – sweet memories.

There is a lot to be liked about this wheat and gluten free lemon cookie. The one thing I would change is the intensity of the lemon taste. Less would definitively be more in this case. The company has more flavors and products and I’m looking forward to taste more of their baked goods.
