Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Coconut Crisp Cookies

Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Coconut Crisp Cookies

I haven’t been very active on the food blog (or any of my blogs for that matter!) lately. My computer crashed and crashed hard a while back and, on top of that, I have been so affected by the pandemic that (truth be told) I allowed everything to get me out of my regular routine. While my family, thanks be to God, hasn’t been personally touched by the Coronavirus, the fact that so many other families have been touched and often tormented by it has shaken me to my core. For better or worse, I am an insanely empathetic person and don’t just feel other’s pain.. I FEEL it.

I decided a few weeks ago to stop reading every news story and stop visiting personally (through social media) with every person who has suffered a loss. I made the decision to pray for them but not to read every single thing going on. It’s keeping me sane.

Ironic thing is, just when I made this decision and decide to get back into my normal routine – my computer checked out on me!

2020 has a real attitude, doesn’t it?

Back to “Normal”ish

If you’ve read my food blog before or know me, personally, you know that Cookie Monster is my spirit animal. I love cookies… I live for cookies. They’re one of my favorite things to bake and eat! So I decided to jump back into the food blog with a review of some extra, extra wonderful cookies I just discovered: Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Coconut Crisp Cookies (link to the cookies on Amazon). I had never seen them on store shelves before, but recently saw them at my favorite grocery store in the “cheap” bin.

If I’d ever seen them before, there wouldn’t be any of them left to go in the bargain aisle – I’d have bought them all!

These cookies are absolutely outstanding. They have such a distinctive and delicious taste of coconut (one of my favorite flavors), while giving an extraordinary crunch – something, as a dunker, I appreciate in a cookie. While these cookies were (past tense, we ate them all) fantastic right out of the bag, they were Heavenly with coffee as well.

These cookies are available on Amazon (gluten-free as well as the original) and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I just noticed that there is also a Tate’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip (Amazon link) cookie and I am pretty much beside myself.

This human Cookie Monster feels like it’s Christmas morning.

I hope and pray that you and your loved ones are well and safe. I’m thinking of you and praying for you. I hope you will, now – more than ever, find the things that bring you joy and embrace them every chance you get. For me, that’s family (including my cats!), cookies, and old movies.

Stay positive and stay safe. We will get through this! ~ Joi

Tate’s Coconut Crisp Gluten-Free Cookies with Coffee

First Words Out of Your Mouth Will Be, I’ve Never Eaten a Better Cookie!

July 2, 2012 By Joi Sigers

A few weeks ago, I was sent a box of gorgeous premium oatmeal cookies to review. They were wrapped so beautifully and the cookies, themselves, were real works of art. As a bona fide cookie monster, I was drooling before I even took a bite. In all my years of doing food reviews, I’ve never seen a more beautiful job of packaging and attention to detail.

Now, having said all of that, if the cookies didn’t measure up to the fanfare, I’d have been disappointed.

Fortunately, Coyote Oatie Cookies are so uncommonly delicious, disappointment’s the last emotion you’ll experience. Not counting the disappointment you’ll feel when you go back for one and realize they’re all gone. Then the disappointment is intense, profound, and very deep.

About Coyote Oatie Cookies

Our Mission at Coyote Oaties is to bake the freshest, most amazing cookies every day, never compromising integrity, customer service, or the highest standards of excellence. We’re confident you will love our cookies and will want to share them with others.

Made with whole rolled oats and real cream butter, our cookies are baked fresh with all the goodness grandma intended. There is no white sugar or flour, 0 trans fat and absolutely no preservatives.

All the good, all the flavor. We ship them quickly for freshness. Enjoy sending them as gifts, but by all means– keep some for yourself!! – From Coyote Oaties Website

The box arrived in the mail on a day when the only people at home were my youngest daughter (Stephany) and I. The others were working long hours and… quite frankly… that sealed their fate. Stephany and I wanted to save a few cookies for them, really we did. However, as soon as we took a bite – we knew that while things didn’t look good for the rest of the family – they looked DANG good for us.

Basically we threw a cookie party and only invited ourselves. She told me that she hoped I would tell everyone, in my review, that these were (without a doubt) the best cookies they’d ever find. I promised to do so. In between bites.

Honestly, these are the best oatmeal cookies in the world. Even people who don’t love oatmeal cookies won’t be able to put them down. That’s the case with Steph, actually. Being the elder cookie monster, I personally love all cookies. Oatmeal cookies are, in fact, a personal favorite. My husband also loves oatmeal cookies to distraction. If he hadn’t been out of town, I’m almost certain I would have saved him one. Almost.

Steph, however, has never gone out of her way for oatmeal cookies. She loves sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and anything remotely chocolate – but, until Coyote Oaties, I’m not sure I’d ever seen her eat an oatmeal cookie. She’s a believer now!

Coyote Oatie Cookies come in a wide variety of flavors and, trust me, you can’t go wrong with any of them. The ingredients generously piled into these Heavenly cookies will blow your mind. Choices include: white chocolate, walnuts, cashews, raisins, dark chocolate… Each bite is something true cookie lovers will never forget. You’ll think, “I’ve lived for a moment just like this!”

Order these wonderful cookies by the dozen, 1/2 dozen, or crates. The crates are available for a variety of holidays and special occasions. If you were to give these cookies as a gift to someone, trust me, they’ll sing your praises forever more.

Coyote Oatie Cookies are fresh, delectable, gorgeous, and you can taste the quality with each bite. They’re melt in your mouth delicious and I’m just about to die for one right now!

I strongly suggest you go to Coyote Oaties right now and read more about these outstanding cookies. I love when I’m sent food to review that I love so much I end up ordering more. That’s certainly the case with these cookies. I’m two minutes away from ordering more right now!

I loved each variety but if I had to put them in order of my preference, they’d read like this: Goji Almond Oat (I absolutely cannot stay out of these cookies), the Goji Orange MintChip, the Goji Chocolate Chip, the Goji Cherry Cacao, and the Goji Ginger Walnut.

The Goji Almond Oat Cookies are addictive – they should come with a warning label saying as much. I’m also totally hooked on the Goji Orange MintChip cookies. The only way to describe them is to say they taste like Christmas would taste if it had a flavor. The citrus of the orange reminds me of the fruit baskets that are always around the house during the Holidays and the mint makes me think of candy canes.

So, there you have it. They taste like Christmas.

The Goji Cherry Cacao and Goji Chocolate Chip cookies love to be dunked in milk. They’re super with Rice Milk (a personal favorite).

The Goji Ginger Walnut cookies may come in last in my list but don’t think they aren’t special – ginger just isn’t one of my favorite flavors for some reason. I LOVE the smell of ginger, but the flavor always leaves me scratching my head. My daughters FLIPPED for this variety though.

Just as well, it frees me up to concentrate on the rest of the gang. And by concentrate I mean gobble. If you (like me) have healthier eating in mind for 2011, but have no intention of compromising on flavor and food enjoyment, these are cookies you’ll want to try. They’re wholesome, delicious, nutritious, and perfect for kids of all ages.

They’re ideal to pop into lunch boxes too.
