Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies are Mom-Made and Free of Top Allergens

Warning: Once opened, you will not be able to stop eating these cookies! I still remember my first taste of Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies at a trade show years ago. Allergen-free or not, these are some of the best boxed cookies!

My opinion was validated two years later at Expo West. As we chatted with the vivacious company founder, my husband and niece happily sampled every flavor of Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies. Tony went back for seconds, and my niece who can eat gluten, dairy, eggs, and nuts, proclaimed the cookies “best of show”.

Tasting Notes for Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies

Each bite of Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies was full of buttery goodness, and had a homemade “just like mom used to make” taste. We finally picked up some boxes for home, and were still dazzled by the flavors and tender goodness. Please note that the photos I took show the old packaging. However I’ve included images of the new packaging above and below.

Chocolate Chip

We all adored the Chocolate Chip. The flavor is just sweet enough, vanilla-rich, and perfectly salted. Pretty much spot on. The texture is soft and tender, but not overly chewy. And of course, the best part is the loads of delicious semi-sweet chocolate chips within.

Ingredients: gluten-free flour (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour), semisweet chocolate chips (cane sugar; unsweetened chocolate; non dairy cocoa butter), palm oil shortening, brown sugar, cane sugar, fructose, brown rice syrup, unsulphared molasses, water, grape juice, rice dextrin, egg replacer (potato starch, tapioca flour leavening {calcium lactate*, calcium carbonate, citric acid}, cellulose gum, carbohydrate gum), prebiotic tapioca fiber, vanilla extract, baking soda, sea salt, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin. *Calcium lactate is not dairy-derived, and it does not contain lactose.

Nutrition (per 2 cookies): 130 calories, 7g fat, 18g carbs, 1g fiber, 10g sugars, 1g protein.*

Chocolate Chunk Brownie

These cookies are true to their title. Each bite is reminiscent of a tender vegan brownie with generous chocolate chunks. It’s a true chocoholic’s dream with full dessert-like intensity.

Ingredients: gluten-free flour (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour), semisweet chocolate chips (cane sugar; unsweetened chocolate; non dairy cocoa butter), palm oil shortening, brown sugar, cane sugar, unsweetened natural cocoa powder, brown rice syrup, rice milk, grape juice, rice dextrin, water, fructose, prebiotic tapioca fiber, egg replacer (potato starch, tapioca flour leavening {calcium lactate*, calcium carbonate, citric acid}, cellulose gum, carbohydrate gum), vanilla extract, baking soda, cream of tartar, carrot fiber, sea salt, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin. *Calcium lactate is not dairy-derived, and it does not contain lactose.

Nutrition (per 2 cookies): 130 calories, 7g fat, 17g carbs, 1g fiber, 9g sugars, <1g protein.*

Oatmeal Raisin

This flavor has delightful buttery goodness, earthy sweetness, and an oat-rich yet tender texture. This variety is just a little chewier and a touch less soft than the Chocolate Chip. I haven’t tried freezing them, but my bet is that these Cybele’s Free to Eat Cookies would make killer ice cream sandwiches.

Ingredients: gluten-free oats, raisins, brown sugar, palm oil shortening, gluten-free flour (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour), cane sugar, water, fructose, golden flaxseed, brown rice syrup, grape juice, rice dextrin, vanilla extract, baking soda, xanthan gum, sea salt, sunflower lecithin, cinnamon.

Nutrition (per 2 cookies): 110 calories, 4g fat, 20g carbs, 1g fiber, 11g sugars, 1g protein.*

Snickerdoodle

This is their newest flavor, which we haven’t tried yet.

Ingredients: gluten-free flour (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour), palm oil shortening, cane sugar, brown sugar, rice milk, fructose, grape juice, rice dextrin, prebiotic tapioca fiber, egg replacer (potato starch, tapioca flour leavening {calcium lactate*, calcium carbonate, citric acid}, cellulose gum, carbohydrate gum), vanilla extract, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, sea salt, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin. *Calcium lactate is not dairy-derived, and it does not contain lactose.
