Homefree Cookies are Mini Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Treats

“These are gluten-free?” My niece sounded surprised as she inquired from the back seat on a recent road trip. “Yes, they are even made with whole grains,” I replied. “Hmm, they’re really good.” Not all cookies meet with her approval, but the crispy minis line of HomeFree Cookies passed both her test and mine.

Flavorful little two-bites

Rated 5 out of 5

February 12, 2020

The crispy minis are flavorful little two-bites with a delightful crunch that is surprisingly gluten-free. A great lunch box option for nut, egg, and dairy allergies, too.
