If you are wanting a sweet treat, but are being a little health conscious or are on a high protein diet or gluten free, then O Cookie Os might be right for you!
They are definitely more donut like than cookie like, so don't let the name fool you.
They are a wayyy more dense version of a donut, I'm guessing due to the added protein and good stuff they have in there.
We stumbled upon them at a night market, and the proprietors were very friendly and explained each of the items to us that we were looking at.
Their branding is super cute, with the cookies going in a little black and white box with a red bow and clear window showing you your goodies. We ended up ordering four O Cookie Os:
-O Daddy O: This was a butterscotch flavor and it was VERY butterscotchy. If you're a fan of that flavor, you will love this one. It was a little dry for my taste, but once I had it with my morning coffee, it did go pretty well with that.
-O Sunny O: The name on this one is very apt because it's a super "sunny" flavor, with an orange creamsicle taste. I don't usually like citrus and cream together, but this one actually worked well with that combo.
-O Monster O: Just like a Monster Cookie! This one was my favorite and was most similar to a normal cookie flavor, with M&Ms, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. So good. The base is an oatmeal cookie style flavor, making it more crumbly than dense like the rest of the O Cookie Os we had.
-O Sprinkly O: This one was like a sugar cookie with sprinkles on it, like a birthday cake. It was the most "mellow" flavor of all of the ones we tried, because of the light flavor of the sugar cookie base. If you're looking for a light flavored treat but with a lot of protein (11g!), then this could be your favorite.
These aren't the same as normal cookies or normal donuts that you're probably used to; they are definitely more dense and have a little flavor of something added in, but that is the point of them.
If you are on a gluten free or high protein diet, or just a little more health conscious, these could be a good sweet treat option for you! read more
