TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Emmy’s Organic Coconut Cookies
|
THE NIBBLE is an omnivore publican. We eat everything. The only differentiator is that it has to be delicious. With an evolution in consumer eating to more foods that are organic, gluten free, soy free, sustainable, non-GMO and vegan, many tasty products that meet these criteria are now available on store shelves nationwide. One that crossed our desk recently is Emmy’s Organics Coconut Cookies. They’re a real find for coconut lovers, regardless of diet preferences. You can find them at Walmart stores nationwide and via this store locator. The Vanilla Bean flavor (photo #1) tastes like a lighter coconut macaroon. In an earlier package design, the cookies were labeled macaroons, as you can see in photo #2. In addition to Vanilla Bean, we tried Peanut Butter, the other flavor that is available at Walmart. Peanut Butter is a fine cookie, but for us, the coconut profile goes better with the Vanilla Bean and the other three flavors: Check the company website for the latest selection. Because the coconut creates a chewy cookie, just one of the 1-1/2″ rounds, paired with a beverage, is satisfying snack or dessert. We like the “leisurely chewing” they offer. And because the cookies are crumbly, they can be topped with flavored yogurt, chocolate frosting, etc. to make “tartlets,” crumbled over ice cream, etc. The only limit is your imagination. ________________ *Golden milk is a healing beverage Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
