    My Dad’s Cookies: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Nut-Free Nostalgic Treats

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on July 2, 2014 Dairy-Free Cookie & Brownie Reviews, Product Reviews

    Far from the mega-booths and squashed at the end of an aisle sat baker Elan and his array of freshly baked dairy-, gluten-, and nut-free cookies. It was a good thing I had put My Dad’s Cookies on my agenda at Expo West earlier this year! Otherwise I might have missed their modest display and tasting some pretty amazing cookies.

    I had never been a big fan of “traditional” cookies. I grew up on chewy and gooey, and even straight-up cookie dough. Always turning up my nose at delicate treats like biscotti and raspberry linzers. Perhaps my taste buds have matured, or maybe I just hadn’t sampled ones that were as good as My Dad’s Cookies.

    Tasting Notes for My Dad’s Cookies

    At the show we tried the Black & White Tuxedo cookie, and Elan was nice enough to send us home with a box of the Chocolate Chip.

    Black & White Tuxedo

    I’d never had this type of cookie, so I can’t compare to any classic versions. But this cookie was tender, sweet, and so, so delicious. These are sold in both their bakery boxes, and in their newer Grab & Go Packaging shown below.

    My Dad's Cookies Reviews & Info - gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, kosher pareve - in several classic varieties - from Raspberry Linzers to Black & WhiteIngredients: gluten free flour (white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum), egg, vanilla dip (sugar, vegetable shortening, emulsifier, vanilla), chocolate dip (sugar, soybean oil, cocoa, chocolate liquor, salt, vanilla extract), sugar, fructose, organic palm oil, natural flavors, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, cornstarch, monocalcium phosphate), salt, agave syrup. contains: soy, egg.

    Chocolate Chip

    The Chocolate Chip My Dad’s Cookies were crispy and sweet, with the perfect amount of little chocolate chips and vanilla essence. The kid in our house loved them and had no clue they were gluten-free. Tony and I thought they were amazing with afternoon tea. In fact, in about 24 hours, our box of My Dad’s Cookies disappeared.

    Ingredients: gluten free flour (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum), palm oil, chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa powder (processed with alkali), chocolate liquor, soy lecithin, vanilla extract), sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, agave syrup, cream of tartar, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, cornstarch, monocalcium phosphate), salt. contains: soy, egg.

    Nutrition (per 3 cookies): 150 calories, 7g fat, 22g carbs, <1g fiber, 13g sugars, 1g protein.*

    Great cookies

    Rated 5 out of 5
    August 10, 2020

    Positively delightful is the best way I can think of to describe these traditional-style treats. Tender, but slightly crispy, and filled with the perfect hint of vanilla and just the right amount of chocolate, it was impossible to believe that these delicate cookies were made without butter and wheat.
