Cookies: Mi-Del Gluten Free Double Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

These chocolate treats are very similar to full gluten Oreos. They have crispy chocolate tops and bottoms, but contain a layer of chocolate cream in the center. The cookies are not as sweet as the Royal Vanilla sandwich cookie, which makes them in my mind even tastier. I think it’s because the chocolate cream is less dense than the thicker Royal Vanilla.

The true test was their “dunk-ability” in milk. Once dunked, the Mi-Del remained extremely crunchy. They don’t have quite the same consistency as an Oreo, but it’s very close. Rob, my favorite celiac, enjoyed them immensely.

I couldn't find a site for Mi-Del only for their distributor, Liberty Richter.

Ingredients:

Crème filling: Fructose, canola oil, natural flavor, soybean lecithin (used as an emulsifier)

I haven't tried these ones, but I sure wish Mi-Del would not use soy in their ingredients. I can have it, but my (celiac) son can't -- and Mi-Del makes so many "kid" kind of g.f. cookies (animal crackers, ginger snaps, etc.) that it's just a shame my son can't have them. Mi-Del tends to be much more reasonably priced than many other g.f. baked-good companies, too... Oh, well.
