 Another Good Choice in Organic CookiesMar 25, 2008
By MoneyMan
After my positive experience with Health Valley Cookie Cremes, Double Chocolate, Newman's Own Organics Newman-O'S Ginger-O's, 16-Ounce Packages, and the Newman's Own Organics Alphabet Cookies, Cinnamon, 10-Ounce Bags, I thought I would give Country Choice a go. So far, I'm "4-for-4" in ordering good organic cookies. I took a chance and bought them without trying them first. I'm happy to say I was not disappointed.
Country Choice Organic Ginger Lemon is a good tasting cookie that have all the benefits of sweetness we would expect from cookies, but lacking the artificial ingredients consistent with cookies commonly on the market. The cookies are lighter than other organic cookies I've tried, but the taste is quite strong and the cookies are sweet, a surprise from my initial introduction to organic cookies that had the flavor and consistency of the cardboard box they were stored in.
There are some points the consumer needs to know; they may be minuses for some, but they're certainly pluses for me:
1) The cookies are VERY sweet; I had to have a glass of milk with them. While I adore sweet cookies, it may turn some people off. Be mindful of that.
2) The taste of ginger is overwhelmed by the strongest taste of lemon in cookies I've ever had. To me this would be a significant minus, except that I absolutely love the lemony taste in cookies. The aroma is heavenly, but the taste is so powerful it seems almost artificial. Oddly, I can taste a hint of ginger when they're dunked in milk (any explanation from food chemists/scientists out there?). Again I love that taste, but others may not. If you want the gingery taste, you would have to be an expert food taster to find it here (in my opinion).
3) While these cookies are made with organic and natural ingredients (no hydrogenated oils or trans fats), they're still cookies: they are loaded with sugar, sodium and carbs. Two cookies pack a whopping 130 calories; 50 calories from fat. Remember, organic does not always mean healthy. And because these cookies are lighter than other organic cookies I've tried, and very tasty, it is very easy to overeat them.
4) These cookies (barely) pass my all-important "dunkability" test, where they adequately absorb milk to compliment the flavor of the cookies (Oreo's, despite their artificial ingredients, is still king in the dunkability of cookies, in my honest opinion). They taste delicious when dunked, but these cookies begin to fall apart quickly, so holding them under milk for a length of time could be problematic.
Given the minuses I've indicated, you wonder: why do I give it four stars. Simple: I love them. Taste, like beauty, is in the eye (or palate) of the beholder. And I can't get enough of them. While my opinion is unquestionably biased, I try to give as much unbiased information on the product as I can. Use it to make your decision.
As with all Amazon grocery products, I recommend going to a supermarket or specialty store (Whole Foods, for example), buy a single pack and sample the cookies before you buy the entire case. I took a gamble and bought the case untested; it's a gamble that has paid dividends for me.

 Vegan Organic Kosher ChoiceJul 26, 2008
By vegancompassion

Vegan. Organic. Kosher. Vanilla creme filling between two vanilla wafers. The vanilla wafers are very light and crispy which goes well with the smooth vanilla creme. Vanilla bliss. More crumbly than the chocolate wafers. Kosher D from processing on shared equipment. 65 kcal per cookie. I put 2-4 cookies in zipper snack bags to make convenient portions. I save and reuse these snack bags for when I open the next "big" package. Easy to keep these fresh in an airtight cookie jar or gallon (4 ltr) ziplock bag. Wanted to also try this flavor because these cookies are such a great organic cookie value. Also really like Country Choice Organic Chocolate Cremes Sandwich Cremes, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) and Country Choice Organic Chocolate Sandwich Cremes, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6). This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews for more great choices. Check out "Vegan Grocery Favorites" and "Vegan Grocery Top Ten" in Listmania. Your "helpful" votes count and will be greatly appreciated to benefit the search of others. Thank you.

Amazing!!!Dec 18, 2007
By Andrea Elise
I admit, I only bought this product (instead of Oreos) because there were FEWER cookies in the bag (thus fewer calories). And I was blown away! These are sooooo much better than Oreos! And organic. Amazing.

Delicious Duplex Cookies!Jun 03, 2008
By Zach E-P
These organic cookies are absolutely delicious! The chocolate tastes rich and not overly sweet, and this is balanced nicely by the vanilla half. The nutrition facts and ingredient list are the icing on the cake - so much better for you than Oreos and just as good (if not better) tasting. They may be more expensive than Oreos but it is well worth it. Highly recommended.

Better than OreosDec 08, 2011
By no1shopr
Country Choice Organic Ginger Lemon cookies are the tastiest sandwich cookies on the market. They have a tangy, fresh flavor that tickles the tongue and sets them apart from other, more mundane cookies. I only wish that they were more widely available locally. My whole family goes through six packages in about a week. If you want to stock your larder with an adventurous snack, you can't miss with these delicious sandwich cookies.
