The label on these cookies says they are "Nature Approved" and we just wonder what that actually means -- it seems as though it could be misleading to consumers who know they should be looking for more healthful options. There are no trans fats, which is good, but the choice to use palm oil, even if it is non-hydrogenated, means you can taste it in the cookies. As for the all-important cookie texture, well it isn't chewy and it isn't crispy -- they have their very own texture -- it's crewy! The price of $6 for 7 ounces is on the steep side, we feel, especially for a container that's basically a plastic take-out box and isn't particularly user-friendly for resealing and air-tight storage. Available in other varieties. Retails for $6 for 7-oz. container.
