Low Carb Cookies > Taste and Content Reviews

Through the years we’ve tested dozens of low carb cookies.  Many of these brands have come and gone.  Some of them forced out through a change in the market while others were exposed through testing as content frauds, meaning what they had on the label was not correct.  This was a much bigger problem from 2000-2003 when everyone was jumping into the fray.  Today the problem is much smaller with fewer competitors and more reputable manufacturers, though there will always be those looking for the quick buck.

In our testing we look for quality and how healthy the product is first.  Anything can taste great when you add unhealthy fats and stomach grinding sugar alcohols so we throw those out of the test.  Taste is important but it’s not the #1 factor.

In terms of quality of the product, taste, reputation of the manufacturer, and shipability we chose a contest cookie mix out of Cincinnatti, Ohio.  The carbs per serving are less than 1 gram, achieved by using the newer Erythritol, which has no effect on stomach binding or gas.  Another prominent feature is that the product is fat free and has protein of 6g per serving.  More notably this protein comes from high-value sources like Wheat Gluten, Whey Protein Isolate, Gelatin Hydrolysate, Calcium Caseinate, and Egg Albumen.

These cookies take less than 10 minutes to make from mix to mouth and are our favorite choice for healthy, low carb cookies.

Visit the manufacturer directly to purchase these cookies or call 1-800-344-3404 and ask about Contest Cookies in plain shortbread and butter flavor shortbread.
