Nothing tastes quite like Enjoy Life Soft Baked Cookies. It was well over a decade ago when I first tried these tender bites, and they changed how I thought about cookies. In the past it was crunchy like shortbread or soft and chewy like Tollhouse, but these, these are different. They have a unique soft, cake-y and chewy texture that’s a little wholesome, but still indulgent, and somehow addictive.
I’m not the only one who feels this way. These cookies are Enjoy Life’s flagship product, and have become a popular staple in the gluten-free and allergy-friendly world, as well as with many people who don’t have dietary restrictions!
Over the years, the flavors of Enjoy Life Soft Baked Cookies have evolved, but four have stood the test of time. And now, they’ve decided to add some seasonal holiday varieties to spice things up.

Very detailed Review! Good snacking choice
I love the Enjoy Life cookies; however, I know I cannot have too many. Despite being allergen friendly which suits my diet but the sugar level and the lack of actual nutrition bothers me. After all, it is tough to stop the snacking addiction. The carbs count is not lower in comparison to other snacks so that is part of my worry when eating.
These are just darn good.
I’m not gluten-free or nut-free, just dairy-free. But I love these cookies. These soft, tender, chewy little wholesome pillows aren’t like anything else. I like each flavor, but adore the wonderfully sweet and cinnamon-y jolt of the Snickerdoodles. The Gingerbread Spice are second for me – they are great with tea. And my husband can’t get enough of the kid-like chocolaty Fudge Brownie.
