I am thrilled our grocery store finally sells these amazing cookies! Healthy monster cookies with 180 cals. So far only tried Snickerdoodle and Cocolate Chips. Anyone tried the Macadamia Nuts?

    I've never tried them. How do they taste? What are the best flavours? I bought a protein cookie the other day (also 360 cals) and it tasted like varnish. Yeuck.

    Just to make sure, you know one cookie is two servings, right? So they are really 360 calories.

    Yes! I made that mistake with the first one I ate - realized later a cookie is 2 servings! :'(

    My all time favorite is birthday cake!! So yummy :heart: I also really like the chocolate chip and snickerdoodle flavors, but I was able to find good copycat recipes for those so now I save money by making those flavors myself (plus then you can make smaller cookies that are one serving a piece haha). I still haven't found a good recipe for the birthday cake flavor though so I buy them from time to time!

    360 cals? That wants to be a big cookie? Is it protein enriched?

    They aren't on the level of Quest Bars, but comparing them to a "regular" cookie, a serving would have 7 more grams of protein.

    You definitely need to weigh the cookies. I like em, but they're almost never under 120 grams.
    The best flavors are birthday cake and snickerdoodle.

    Little advice, throw it in the microwave for a ten seconds like you would a Chips A'Hoy!

    For 360 calories (and more protein), I could eat a protein bar and 3 oreos. I'll pass.

    Exactly.

    They don't sell the birthday cake here, will order online. I am hooked on these now

    Your original post didn't make that very clear. Glad you like them. The macros don't seem worth it to me.

    I think that the cookies taste good. However I would rather indulge in Halo Top ice cream for those calories.

    Enjoy

    I've only tried the chocolate chip and the Snicker doodle. By far the Snicker doodle wins for me. They are really filling but I don't buy them often. I tend to go through a box too fast.

    There are now 2oz cookies so that 1 cookie is 1 serving. Much easier since that half a cookie would always call me to eat it

    The others raise good points about nutrition and if the cookies are "worth it." That part I can't help you decide. Butttt, from a pure taste position, The lemon cookie is my favorite... nom nom nom.

    I bought one this morning, peanut butter flavour. I got sucked in by the labeling, and when i had a proper look when i got home i noticed the 1 cookie = 2 servings :sad: My chances of only having half a cookie are pretty slim.. They are pretty big though, not sure if it's worth 360 flippan calories, it better taste good!!!!

    I gobbled the whole cookie before I read the back that said there were two servings per cookie. *kitten*. Who eats half a cookie? ;) I won't buy them again.

    Eating the white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie as I type!!!! So so good. My favorite flavor so far. Are there other edible items with more protein? Sure. But are these pretty damn good? Yes. gqqt1tdg1xmd.jpg

    I think some sell the single serving size cookies right?
    I do love those though. I think it's as good as a regular cookie and it ups the protein so it's worth it to me :smile:

    Did I understand that right? You are eating a cookie for dinner? Are these magic cookies?
