I have a tasty giveaway for you! I recently sampled all (8) varieties of Jo-Sef's gluten free cookies, and they were very well received by my family. They are crispy, not overly sweet, and perfect for dunking into your favorite beverage. Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of this post for your chance to win (8) boxes of Jo-Sef's gluten free cookies... that's one of each flavor!

About Jo-Sef's Gluten Free Cookies:

"In addition to being gluten free, all Jo-Sef products are egg free, cholesterol free, lactose free, peanut free, additive free, and preservative free. And they’re kosher too!

All Jo-Sef’s product are processed in a Gluten and Nut free facility."

Most people love creme filled sandwich cookies, and my family is no exception! Jo-Sef makes gluten free Vanilla O's, Chocolate O's, and Cinnamon O's; all are delicious! While my kids were most enamored with the Chocolate O's (which reminded them of Oreo cookies), I fell in love witht the Vanilla O's, which reminded me of my beloved Lorna Doone shortbread cookies that I can no longer have. The creme filling in Jo-Sef's O Cookies is softer and more homemade tasting than in any other creme filled sandwich cookie I have had. Yum!

My kids were thrilled to try Jo-Sef's gluten free Animal Cookies in both Chocolate and Vanilla flavors! These crunchy, classic, animal shaped cookies have proven to be a favorite afternoon snack with my kids. They especially love the idea of taking these in there school lunches when school starts again!

Jo-sef's gluten free Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cinnamon Square Cookies are crisp and delicious in a simple way; perfect for when you want a not too sweet treat with your favorite hot beverage. I particularly enjoyed the Vanilla Squares with a cup of chamomile tea before bedtime.

FAQ:

Are your products all certified gluten-free?

"All Jo-Sef products are CSA certified which means they meet the strictest criteria for absence of gluten in product ingredients, processing and packaging. The CSA Recognition Seal denotes the most risk-free choice for all people eliminating gluten from the diet. CSA requires that we address all ingredient, production and training elements, and products are tested using the most sensitive ELISA test presently available in the United States. The R-Biopharm RIDASCREEN® Gliadin test has a lower limit of quantification of 5 parts per million. Products must test below the level of quantification of this test to qualify for the CSA Recognition Seal."
