Now I know we've all been thinking, there's so many gluten free store cookies out there now just which one is the best?? So I offer you a solution! I've come up with a list of all the gluten free shop bought cookies that I could think of that I've tried and I've tried my best to rank them as accurately as I can to see which one really is the best.
Now I am a firm believer in homemade all the way, you can make whatever flavour you want and you can adjust the recipes to get that perfect texture that you've been looking for. But I know that not everybody is a fan of baking or sometimes you don't have time to make those homemade cookies but you still need a cookie fix. So here it is a list of the best cookies ranked from best to worst (I'm sorry last place cookie) with all the details so you can find out which one you should stock your cupboards with!
(Also just a little disclaimer this is just my personal opinion and all these cookies are good, I've ranked them according to which I think is the best so you can see the differences between each one to see which suites your tastebuds the best!)
So lets get into the cookies...
12. At Number 12... M and S Dark chocolate and ginger cookies
I can see where this was trying to go but I'm just not a fan of the whole ginger and chocolate in a cookie, although it was packed with flavour so if that sounds like your flavours it definitely provided them. It was also less of that soft in the middle crunchy on the outside texture and more just...crunchy. Very biscuit like in texture so would serve as a good tea dunking biscuit. Right onto the next cookie!
11. Tesco salted caramel mini cookies
Coming in a box of 12 they give you loads, but these are just not for me. They are way to sweet with no slightly salty sensation that is expected of a salted caramel cookie and the pieces of white chocolate doesn't help its case either. It does however have a crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle texture so maybe I just need to try a different flavour (That will hopefully someday be created!) So sorry but these ones aren't my cup of tea.
10. Coming in at number 10...The M and S Triple chocolate cookies
To me these ones had an unusual after flavour which I couldn't quite place, anyway aside from that they didn't have much of a soft cookie texture and really it was saved form number 12 by the big chunks of chocolate, maybe I just caught it on a off day- everything does deserve a second chance (On second thought maybe not).
9. Morrisons Triple Chocolate cookies
You can see a running theme here for my second favourite cookie flavour being a triple chocolate cookie ( The first will always be white chocolate and cranberry)- These ones had a good chocolaty flavour and big chunks of chocolate but I would have liked to taste more of a soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside again.Right next!
8. Tesco Triple Chocolate cookies
What made these ones for me was the light coating of milk chocolate so when you dunk them they go super melty. I would definitely choose to eat these if they were in the house, big chunks of chocolate and a little softer in texture so they soften even quicker when you dunk them in a hot drink!
7. Sainsbury's triple chocolate cookies
Another triple chocolate cookie option because they are the best and also the supermarket ones that I have tried so far (part 2 with the 2022 trys?) These ones were super chocolatey and rich with a softer texture- They were really good definitely fitted the bill for a triple chocolate cookie.
6. The gluten free Hob Nob
Whats this I see a 'glutenus' brand providing a gluten free option? I' ve never tried a 'normal' Hob Nob so I didn't really have any expectations but it was surprisingly really good, a oaty base topped with a thin layer of milk chocolate the perfect middle ground biscuit (for this one is definitely in the biscuit and not cookie catagorey) not to sweet and not to savoury! And it wasn't to crunchy- No broken teeth were present over here!
5. Into the top 5 we have...Rhythm peanut butter cookies
Now I love any cookie that contains any sort of nut butter, It is the best feeling to bit into a cookie and find a glorious centre of nut butter. This cookie is super soft and chocolatey topped with crunchy peanuts and filled with a smooth peanut butter it definitely hits those peanut butter cookie cravings!
4. Ryhtem choclate cookie minis
Isn't everything better when its mini? These cookies are not only super cute but delicious as well, full of choclate chunks they are packed full of flavour and a little crunchy but 10 seconds in the microwave and there like there fresh out of the oven. The perfect cookie snack for when your craving the chocolate but don't want a full cookie.
3. Down to the top three...Deliocusly Ella cookies
Now whilst these are frozen so take a little bit of extra time as they have to be cooked, they come out super soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. I usually love to make the cookie recipes on delicously Ellas app but these are great for when I don't have time to bake but still want to enjoy a yummy treat. And with me they will always be dipped in almond butter for that extra wow factor.
2. Oreos
Number two has to be the famous gluten free Oreos, tasting exactly like I remember normal Oreos to taste like they are rich in there choclate flavour with a smooth cream filling however there definitely on my list for being a certified biscuit for there are no soft centres here. These ones also soften super quick in hot drinks and look good to!
1-Now the spot of cookie number one goes too.....Livias cookies!!
Whilst they may not be the softest they are packed full of flavour, served with a little dipping pot of nut butter these biscuit/cookies are reventlutinary. The perfect sized snack, and there are some new ones on the rise which I'm forever looking to find (might have to be an online order).
I hope you enjoyed reading my cookie ratings, What did you think, did you agree with me? What would you have changed about my ranking? Go and comment your thoughts on @rubysgfkitchen on instagram!
