"Carb Safe" chocolate chip cookies

[sci_lite]

hey everybody,
I and a fellow atkinseer decided to test taste a product we found at Trader Joe's here in Cambridge, MA. There's no realy title other than "Carb Safe chocolate chip cookies". She tried the double chocolate chip, I tried the regular, they come in 4 packs, so we switched 2 for 2. The regular chocolate chip are pretty good, although dry enough that you do miss the milk to dunk them in. The double chocolate aren't all that hot, I'm eating one now, it's pretty bland and crumbly. I don't think I'll buy these again, although they were only 10c more than an entire Atkins bar!

I did try those here in Washington (most likely the same cookies).
The one thing I noticed is the ingredients listed "Partially Hydroginated" fats. I really try and stay away from those.

I guess "Low Carb" is not always "Low Carb and healthy".

I usually buy cookies made by "Low Carb Creations", which are really good and dosen't have the bad stuff in them. Must be others around too...

I've tried all the Carb Safe products from Trader Joes and I think you should stick with the Candy rather than the Cookies. The bars are very good and incredibly inexpensive ($1.49 for 3 oz), and the 99 cent chocolate mouse pillow bars are quite good.....an apt description, which tastes like chocolate-coated chocolate mousse.

This is the only stuff I've tried that even resembles chocolate. Metabolite and Atkins tastes just like a bunch of goo in the mouth sorry... I've been a believer in the good 70% chocolate all my life, so even Hereshey's bars are not really considered chocolate in my world.
Many chocolate manufacturers such as Lind's have sugar free products, but I never checked their carb count.
