Raw snacks were all the rage at an Expo West several years ago, and Emmy’s Organics was garnering a lot of attention. And for good reason. After just a nibble of their raw Lemon Ginger macaroons, I knew that I had to sample every flavor in their line-up. They’ve since changed the name of their product to Emmy’s Organic Cookies, and have added some new flavors. So I’m updating our post with the latest information.
Emmy’s Organic Cookies are Grain-Free Goodies in 7 Flavors
These dessert-like snacks (or snack-like healthy treats?) are very tender but dense with thick coconut shreds. The wholesome format of Emmys Organic Cookies makes them a little crumbly (don’t try cutting them in half!), but all-around fulfilling. They are pleasantly sweet, easily squashing sugar cravings, while still venturing into nourishing territory.
I’ve included my tasting notes with the corresponding flavors that we tried below. Please leave your own rating and review below once you try any of them.
Vanilla Bean
This baseline flavor was heavenly, just heavenly. It was also my favorite, hands down. It possesses that rustic coconutty vibe, but the finish has a creamy mouth feel. The vanilla is intense and pure, like a good quality (dairy-free) ice cream.

when you looking to the ingredients label there is no sugar, but in NUTRITION FACTS there is. It’s ridiculous.
Lemon Ginger – taste like coconut with almond flour. Not buying again because of sugar.
Ingredients are the by far the biggest factor which determine a food’s healthfulness, not fat/sugar content. Fir example, a handful of raw almonds are ‘high in fat’ and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice is quite high in sugar content. Yet they are both extremely nourishing.
I guess some people are stuck in the 90’s and would rather eat artificial crap with Nutrasweet and margarine than snacks like Emmy’s Macaroons which are made from all natural, raw foods ingredients..??!
They are loaded with fat and sugar. How is that healthy?
Not everyone considers natural fats unhealthy! And please note that it is still described as a “treat” not a healthy everyday food. Everyone has to decide what is healthy by their own standards!
