ChocZero Keto Butter Cookies - Sugar Free Danish Shortbread Gift - Gluten Free, Low Carb (1 tin, 12 oz)

It does raise blood glucose.. my blood glucose never spikes for net carb of 4 .. so I don’t know if this the product issue or my body response to it

I love getting a tin of Danish cookies every year and these are a good substitute since I can't have gluten. The taste and texture are pretty good and very similar to normal Danish cookies. The only difference really is the sugar substitute being slightly less sweet, but it's not bad. Only one sleeve was broken and it was only broken in half, so over all, this was worth it for me.

These cookies taste pretty good and are SO close to those tinned cookies I used to eat before discovering a wheat allergy. The texture and appearance are crazy similar. They were soft, moist, and not stale. They are a high quality GF cookie. My only caveat is that they have a semi-strong aftertaste of monk fruit. It’s not enough to get me to stop eating them, but enough to make me seek out a different brand next time.

I would give 5 stars for the flavor, but there were other issues. First, a few cookies came broken before we opened the seal. That's not really a problem, since they were still edible. My wife bought them because the were labelled as Keto. As a type 1 diabetic she thought it was good that the sugar in 4 cookies added up to only 1 gram. Still I notice a few yellow flags--dextrin being one (although apparently "resistant" dextrin). Rice flour was another ingredient that turns to sugar as it breaks down. When my wife had 4 cookies, her glucose went from 86 to 189 (into the "yellow" range) and still climbing within 2 hours, and that was all she had. It might have been better if these were made with one or a blend of alcohol sugars, though at least there was monk fruit included. Although tasty, I would lean toward describing the ingredients of this cookie to being more like "dirty" keto. As it it, she is letting me eat the rest of the cookies, but it wasn't what she thought it would be.

As a GF person, it’s so exciting when there’s a gf version of a classic. This absolutely gets the job done. They did come in partially broken, so 4 stars. They were obviously still edible, so they were eaten.
