I was really ecxited when I discovered these gluten free shortbread cookies as a brand new item.  So new, apparently, that they are not listed on the website.  Tree of Life has introduced these cookies very recently.  I found them at a small local health food shop.

Appearance

Tree of Life Shortbread Cookies are well represented on the box.  They are thick, textured and definitely not bite sized.

Taste and Texture

Tree of Life Shortbread Cookies have a nice texture.  They are light and nice to bite into.  They are firm, but not hard.

I wasn’t overly thrilled with the taste.  They have a bit of that “gluten free flavor” that is not so great.  Unfortunately, a dry and unpleasant aftertaste tends to stick with you.  I have to mention here that I had several friends try these with me and we all had different opinions.

Versatility

Tree of Life Shortbread Cookies have the perfect texture to crumble for a pie crust.  They also would hold up very well when packed in a lunchbox.

Overall Value

I bought my box for $2.16 plus tax.  The box contains nine large cookies.  Not a  bad value!

Rating

Though I’m not thrilled about the aftertaste, I’ve found that a cup of coffee nullifies it nicely.  Other than that, the texture is nice and I would buy Tree of Life Shortbread Cookies again, just not every week.
