Review: The Complete Cookie - Peanut Butter

Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie is a vegan cookie that's more like a nutrition bar. I thought peanut butter might be a good flavor to balance out the added protein. I did like this better than the white chocolatey macadamia Complete Cookie, but it still has an aftertaste that reminded me of a PowerBar. 

The texture was soft and made me think of the peanut butter Grandma's cookies at first. After eating a lot of it though it started to feel dense and dry. 

If you're craving a cookie, this might not hit the spot. But it's not bad when you consider it has 16 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber while being eggless and dairy free. If you're on a road trip or stopping for a quick snack at the gas station, this will probably be more filling than other options. 

Peanut butter Complete Cookie ingredients: Enriched Wheat Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Chicory Root Fiber, Peanut Butter, Protein Blend (vital wheat gluten, pea protein, rice protein), Invert Sugar, Vegetable Glycerine, Cane Sugar, Peanuts, Palm Fruit Oil, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Baking Soda, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum.

Review: Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie Peanut Butter

Taste: Strong peanut flavor, sweet, slight nutrition bar aftertaste 

Texture: Soft, dense, a little dry 

Can you tell it's vegan? Maybe, you can tell it's a nutrition food

Worth buying again? I would eat this again but it's not at the top of my grocery list

Overall: 4/5

Review: Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie - White Chocolaty Macadamia

The Complete Cookie from Lenny & Larry's is a giant vegan cookie with added protein,  fiber, and other nutrients. They have a lot of flavors including traditional favorites and some fun, unusual flavors like chocolate donut and apple pie. 

Is it the best cookie ever? No. But for a vegan cookie that's basically a protein bar, it's not bad.

The first ingredient is their protein blend, and you can tell. It has a little bit of a nutrition bar, health food taste. I consider it a delicious vegan protein bar, but wouldn't compare it to other vegan cookies. 

It's really big and dense. I liked it at first, but it was hard to finish. I might like a smaller version more. I see on their website that they also have smaller, crunchy cookies. Those might be better.

As far as the white chocolaty macadamia flavor goes, I thought the white chips and macadamia nut pieces were too small and that there weren't enough of them. When I think of white chocolate macadamia cookies, I picture big pieces of both.

I generally prefer less processed foods with shorter ingredient lists. But the long list here makes more sense because of the added protein and fiber. Plus most vegan baked goods will have extra ingredients in order to replace the eggs.
