I bought two flavors of these small, gluten free cookies: 1.) chocolate and 2.) fig, with chocolate cream and soft fig fruit centers, respectively. It was good to find another good alternative to traditional fig bar cookies (that are made with wheat flour).

Each box of these organic cookies made in Italy for Jovial Foods (North Franklin, CT) contained 6 packets of 2 cookies each. The chocolate cookies were slightly crunchy with a creamy filling. Both flavors were satisfying without being too rich, and paired well with coffee/tea -- and also with imaginary chocolate and fig and coffee ice cream sundaes I was conjuring up, possibly for later this week.

Today was Day #3 of Chocolate, Fig and Coffee Theme Week.
