As readers of this blog may know, I am very fond of desserts of all kinds, and always on the lookout for new treats. I’m happy to report that the quest for a great cookie, a continuing journey, made a delightful stop this week thanks to CookieZen LLC (cookiezen.com). I have to admit, I’ve never been too sure what “zen” exactly meant, but if it has anything to do with happiness – these cookies create it.
I sampled the Sea Salt Chocolate Oatmeal flavor. The first thing
you experience is the crunchy yet chewiness of a good oatmeal cookie. Then you
discover the taste of smooth, rich bittersweet chocolate chips joined with a
little bit of vanilla. And to add another dimension, the contrast of the sea
salt topping. All in all, a very happy experience.
These rich cookies are said to pair well with red wine or would make a nice ending to meal. They, of course, would be perfect for snacks.
In fact, the company has introduced a four-pack CookieZen Bites package that you can take
along. You can even store them in your desk drawer since best of all — although
they have no preservatives — the cookies last for nine months.
The cookies are also available in Zesty Lemon. And as an
added bonus, the company has recently introduced a gluten-free line, which has
a six-month shelf life.
For retailers, with the holidays coming up, these four packs
make a good stocking stuffer or can be used in a variety of gift baskets.
