I have purchased Newman’s Own organic cookies before from my local grocery store and loved them. I have to say that it’s my fault that I ordered these (the Wheat Free Dairy Free ones) as I was in a hurry and didn’t read carefully. I also hate to admit this but I “assumed” (yes, we all know that that means, and yes I do feel like one…) that Amazon would stand by the products that they sell and allow returns. No such luck. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by Trader Joe’s who will take back a product if the customer does not like it.

Needless to say these don’t taste very well. My teenage kids agree and won’t eat them either so now I am left with five unopened packages of cookies that are of no use and I can’t return them. (sigh) The bottom line is that I need to read much more carefully and I don’t think that I will purchase any more food items from Amazon.

I’m glad I ordered these cookies. The package says, “wheat-free, dairy-free, not a gluten-free product; made with organic flour and organic sugar, creme filled chocolate cookies.”.Cookies contain a few other organic flours such as barley, corn and rice–all organic.
I try to remember regarding price that subsidies are not available to lower the prices of organic foods….why?
These cookies are nice and crunchy to bite into, and my first bite was a taste surprise…not quite like the usual chocolate sandwich cookie; so I wondered at my wisdom or lack of it in buying these but THIS PASSED and by the third morning dunking these cookies in my coffee I was glad to have bought these Newman-Os.

There is a poem printed on the package called “Ode to Newman-Os”.
One thing I want to say: while not a professional dietitian, I seem to be a walking, talking pain-gauge. Newman-Os do not give me a pain.
Other cookie products made with cheaper stuff such as regular cornflour or high-fructose corn syrup cause me almost immediate pain in the joints, so I have to avoid them.
There is some literature explaining a rheumatoid-like influence upon humans by high-fructose corn syrup, so please don’t take my word for it; please read up !!!
I repeat: great cookies!! I find them helpful in switching away from less healthy foods. Once accustomed to the slight change in taste and texture, I’ve become so glad to be able to get these. Nice picture of Nell Newman and her dad, Paul Newman, too. Hope you like these, too. Don’t forget to read up on HFCS (high fructose corn syrup)…lots of info available, books, too.

this is a great cookie, my husband love it! we need tu buy more, the taste is realy good even my kids love it.
