Mi-del "chocolate Sandwich Cookies"

[celiac3270]

Hi,

I was in a healthfood store with my mother and nine-year-old brother. I don't remember what I was getting, but my brother was poking around the other gluten-free foods and he came across a cookie made by Mi-Del (the same ones that made the arrowroot animal-cracker-type cookies, a ginger snap cookie, and a chocolate chip cookies, which i didn't find very tasty. Anyway, they make a "Chocolate Sandwich Cookie", gluten-free, wheat-free (obviously), and dairy-free. They were very good and tasted nearly identical to Oreos. There are 21 cookies in a package. The healthfood store I was at was one of the more expensive ones in my area, but it's the only place where I can find some foods. Anyway, they were obviously overpriced at $3 per box, but i wanted to try them. I felt guilty about getting them, but my mom always tells me that if gluten-free food is all I can eat, I should at least have good variety, etc. Anyway, they were very good.....they should be less expensive at whatever store you might find them at. I'll find them somewhere else for much less....just giving a recommendation for any celiacs dreadfully missing Oreos.

Oh my word!!! My family eats Oreos in front of me all the time, and I think it's the ultimate torture!!!!! I would LOVE to get some Oreo-type cookies!! However....I AM trying to keep the sugar intake down. Do you know how much sugar they have per cookie?

I don't think my Vitamin Cottage has them, or else I would have seen them. I've been up and down the cookie aisle many times! Can you get them on the 'net?

Thanks for the tip!

A lot of sugar.......15 grams of sugar per serving, which is three cookies, so 5 grams per cookie. If you ate one a day as a treat, it might be okay with the sugar.

Woosh! That is a lot of sugar. But one (fake) Oreo a day is better than nothing.

I seen, but not yet bought, the Mi-Del "oreo" cookies, mainly because they are labeled only "wheat-free," not "gluten-free" like their other cookies (arrowroot, ginger, choc. chip). I have tried calling the company but have not been successful in reaching anyone in the know. For now, we are sticking with the Glutano choc. sandwich cookies.

I believe they are available online through the Gluten Free Pantry.

It initially appears that they are only wheat-free. The front just mentions wheat-free. However, look on the back where they talk about their product and it says that the cookies are made from gluten-free products. I don't know why these people can't answer your question if it says it on the package.....

Are they also rice and egg free? Can you post the ingredients list for us?

[celiac3270]

I threw out the packaging and put the cookies in my gluten-free cookie jar, but the next time I get them, I'll post the ingredients. I think they might have rice, but I'm not sure and I'm unsure about eggs, either.

The flour blend in them contains rice flour and they also have liquid whole eggs listed in the ingredients.

My daughter likes them. I don't. I shouldn't eat them anyhow, since they have soy in them, but I don't think they taste like Oreo's at all. They look like them, but the cookie is not sweet at all and the filling is too sweet. I keep some on hand for the kids and also for recipes that call for oreo style cookies. Here is the label:

I'm not a big Oreo fan, and I admit, they're not the same, but I think it's difficult to find products that are truly identical to their wheat-filled counterparts. I don't think they'll become staples of my diet, but they might be a nice change every now and then.

Here is the lising from Open Original Shared Link. They are even more expensive...but worth it if you live in a small town like me and don't have any other choice than to order on-line!! I have tried these before and they are great ~ wonderful dipped in milk!

Rice, rice, rice!! Argh! I am allergic to rice, and I can honestly tell you that anaphlaxis is no fun! I guess I will have to stick to making my chocolate chip cookies out of chickpea flour with ground flax for egg substitute. And oreos were my favorite, I could eat a whole package of them and milk and nothing else and be happy all day!
