Almondina Almond Cookies, Original Flavor, Non-Dairy and Kosher Thin Cookies, Toasted with Natural Ingredients, Sweet and Crunchy Biscotti Snack, 4-Ounce Package (Pack of 6)

Edit, 3/28/16: Putting stars back to five after being informed of current Amazon price, which is approximately what I previously considered a normal grocery-store price. Edit, 3/7/13: With this edit, I downgrade this excellent product from 5-stars to 1-star. The soaring price is completely out of control. The already highish price for my last order six months ago has now gone completely crazy, IMO. Plus, they are no longer offered as a "Prime" item, although the 3rd party vendor is offering free shipping. They darn well should. The price has increased by about fifty percent since my last purchase, which also shipped free. Probably has to do with the difficulty of shipping these fragile cookies and customer blowback and returns. Whatever. They are still available at Trader Joe's and, sometimes, at regular grocery stores. I am not a super cost-conscious shopper, but I don't want to be a complete fool either. *** I found these great little cookies looking for anything low-salt in the cookies/cakes/pastry line. I will admit that eating one is not exactly the same ecstatic experience as eating a really top-quality brownie. But that's a good thing, I've decided! They are delicious but don't seem to bulldoze willpower in the way that a super sweet, buttery-rich treat does. They are very crispy, similar to a hard biscotti but still easy and pleasant to munch on because they are thin and bite off easily. And not only are they low in salt, they are also quite low in calories. I like a little something sweet with my coffee in the mornings. A couple of these cookies gets it done for me for at a remarkable 67 calories! I have never before felt satisfied with any accompaniment to my coffee at anywhere near that number of calories. Now let's not be crazy: This is not a substitute for an egg mcmuffin or any kind of traditional breakfast. But for what is essentially a light, tea biscuit, it goes an awfully long way. And I ~love~ them! Edit, 9/9/12: I just placed an order for 4 x 6 packs, i.e., eighty bucks worth of cookies, more or less. It became just too much of a burden to repeatedly order them 2 x 6. Someone complained about them being broken up. That's a problem...they break. I've bought them broken up at the grocery store, too. Realistically, this is not much of a problem unless you are serving them at an elegant "tea." I don't have a problem with a lot of them being in bite-sized bits. Amazon's price is a little higher than it once was. Not sure what is happening with the price at the grocery store. I mostly order them so that I don't have to hunt them in the grocery store...they are a bit of a category buster and can be hard to find even in stores that have them. One day I went to Trader Joe's where I had been buying them; their shelf location was unchanged but they only had a couple of packs left. I'm Amazon Prime and Brown brings them right to my door in two days. What's not to like.

Wonderful!

I fist found these gems at Trader Joe’s, but they stopped carrying them years ago. There are the perfect little crackers with cheese or with coffee! Love them

These cookies arrived in a box of its own, so very little breakage or crumbles. The expiration date is 8/2025! So they are fresh and snappy, just as I remembered them; Haven't had them since local TJ's discontinued carrying them. Very pleased with whole transaction and product, have subscribed for MORE!

I love the crunch, the nuttiness of the almonds and dough, and the delicate not-too-sweet flavor. Try dunking them in a cup of hot tea. Perfection. Only problem is, they are too easy to overindulge. I have to use all my self-discipline to avoid eating a whole tray at once.

Shopping at World Cost Plus when we had one in town I found my favorite cookie. The supply there was on and off. Then gone with the store. So, I found a recipe. Problem was the recipe was quite involved. As luck would have it I found them on Amazon. These cookies are almond filled. I always get the original. Crunchy, crunchier than a biscotti. The clean ingredients are few. Yes they have sugar but less than the traditional cookies we buy or bake. I feel, right or wrong, the almonds make up for the sugar negative. Pros: Nice crunch Almond filled Great with tea or coffee Healthy cookie choice Kosher Cons: expensive occasional hint of staleness in just one of the pack

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Excellent for a quick snack!

Love these little cookies! They are crunchy with the almonds, chewy with the little raisins and are not too sweet. I enjoy them with coffee and tea. I discovered them at the local Wal-mart a few weeks ago. They sold out last week (maybe I bought them all!) and have not restocked so I went looking on the internet for them. Voila! Amazon has them plus a few more flavors from the same company! I ordered these and the the Ginger. These are still my favorite. The packaging was good - maybe too good - the box was twice as big as the volume of the cookies and had those air-filled plastic "bubbles" filling up the void. I am pleased my cookies arrived in good shape but not sure all that packaging was needed.
