Imagine sinking your teeth into the perfect oatmeal raisin cookie. First, there’s the initial resistance of the ever-so-slightly crispy edges. Then, just as that resistance gives way to the cookie’s luxuriously soft and chewy interior, you’re hit with a symphony of buttery and brown-sugary flavors, punctuated by pops of super soft and sweet raisins, along with some occasional hints of complementary coconut. “It’s pitch-perfect!” You exclaim. “We agree,” we respond, “and it’s gluten free.” Shocked, you reach for the box, and there it is, plain as day: Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Oatmeal Coconut Cookies with Raisins. Well, I’ll be darned...

Now made using an updated recipe that results in an even softer, even fresher-feeling texture, these Gluten Free Oatmeal Coconut Cookies are a true triumph of gluten free baking. Each box contains six Cookies made with a blend of rolled oats and coconut flakes, along with tapioca and rice flours, brown sugar, and plenty of butter. Just like classic oatmeal raisin cookies of old, these Gluten Free Cookies are especially excellent when served warm, fantastic when dunked in a glass of milk (or your preferred non-dairy alternative), and spectacularly suited for ice cream sandwiches and whoopie pies.
