Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and the Mint Family Theme Week.
Today's gluten-free, dairy-free Chocolate Mint Cookie dough was manufactured for Sweet Loren's, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA).
Aroma notes included: peppermint and chocolate (cookie). And as with any "freshly baked" cookies, these small, pre-formed cookies (that came from a package of refrigerated dough) smelled good right out of the oven.
The baked Chocolate Mint cookies had a relatively soft texture, with slightly more crispy edges. And yes, as the name Sweet Loren's suggests, the number one ingredient was sugar.
For those wanting something sweet, but needing strictly allergen-free, companies like Sweet Loren's offer some convenient and attractive options. The cocoa powder, molasses and chocolate chunks added flavor depth that I appreciated.
Ingredients: "Sugar, Flour Blend (oat, tapioca, potato starch), Palm Oil**, White Confectionary Chips (sugar, palm kernel** and palm oil**, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, salt), Filtered Water, Cocoa Powder, Molasses, Chocolate Chunks (sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, vanilla, salt), Sea Salt, Baking Soda, Peppermint Oil."
Allergen-related information: "Made in a dedicated room free of gluten, wheat, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Manufactured on shared equipment with products containing egg and soy. Strict allergen cleaning controls and testing are in place to ensure allergen control standards are met."
