Rule Breakers Vegan Gluten Free Snacks | Birthday Cake Blondie Cookies | Plant-Based, Dairy, Nut, Soy, Allergen Free, Kosher | Soft-Baked, Safe for School Snacks for Kids and Adults (Pack of 4)

I have a perfect storm of food allergies that made these cookies seem like a godsend for me. I'm allergic to eggs, peanuts and tree nuts, also diabetic, have diverticulosis, and cannot tolerate most sugar substitutes, which means that most allergen friendly/vegan options are not for me for one reason or another. Plus, I live with someone who is gluten free. I was incredibly excited to find these cookies that we actually can eat and which had pretty decent reviews. I wasn't sure what flavor to try, so I went for the birthday cake and chocolate chip combo. The birthday cake cookies are amazing! They taste like eating cookie dough, with none of the weird Play-Doh texture often found in this type of cookie. I also loved that they were diverticulosis friendly, given the 3g of fiber per cookie. However, the chocolate chip cookies were a big disappointment. They definitely do have that weird aftertaste that you sometimes get with allerge and friendly cookies especially the soft ones. Don't know if the oil is more noticeable in those, or if it's a function of the kind of chocolate chip that they use, but it was a big difference in quality. I was also a little disappointed that the Box only contained 4 cookies, but that's my own fault for not reading more carefully. I bought a bunch of different varieties to tape tab, so it'll be a while before I need to reorder new cookies, but when I do the birthday cake box is definitely on my list! I would say no matter how much you love chocolate chips, give that variety a miss.

To heavy

I couldn’t decide between birthday cake or chocolate chunk so I decided to get the variety box and when I had the birthday cake out of the variety box it literally tasted exactly like a cupcake (in my opinion) it was amazing! so once I finished those 2 I then ordered a box of just the birthday cake ones and they all taste like berries? All four of them…. they were absolutely horrible and kind of stung my tongue. I had to throw them out - I’m scared to order again and have them go to waste but I do see that they carry other products and for somebody that’s pretty much allergic to everything I don’t have many options when it comes to pre packaged food so I am going to give a couple of their other products to try !

This is one of those things that's hard to review because taste is subjective. But I did notice that most bad reviews are more about expectations than quality or taste. 'I thought it was going to be..." or "This isn't like...".Personally, I received one of these in a vegancuts box and loved it so much that I bought a 4 pack off Amazon. The downside is the price is ridiculously high, making these an 'every now and again' indulgence.As far as some of the negative things I read:- Packaging clearly states these are blondies or brownies, not cookies. If the blondies you do enjoy or are used to are hard like cookies, then I have some bad news for you: you have been living a lie your entire life (or maybe, reconsider that the things at Starbucks should NOT be the baseline for what you know)- Birthday cake flavor is akin to birthday cake flavored ice cream, not an actual birthday cakeAlso subjectively, I haven't experienced any other vegan, packaged dessert snack as good as the Birthday Cake blondie. I'm not saying there isn't a better snack, I'm saying the ones I've tried so far aren't better than this.... most are dry rocks or taste like nasty protein bars. Would have been nice if those who claim there are better ones out there actually name them for the rest of us. I also only tried the Birthday cakes one, so I have no idea about the other flavors. Maybe the others are horrible, I wouldn't know.

EDIT - NEW:The customer service is SO fabulous. I was taken care of with kindness and promptness. I've got what I ordered now!EDIT:On my next order 3/3/19: return policy is needed after all. Just dropped $50 on birthday cake 24 pack and received the chocolate chunk instead. Just tried them and they are not as good as the cake flavor in my opinion...the cake is just SO good.I’ve been wanting to try these for a good month now. Them being available on Amazon is definitely a game changer because of the shipping and of course return policy just in case.Return policy not needed. Ordered on a SUNDAY at 3pm. Standard 2 day shipping. Got excited the next day and checked for fun. THEY WERE DELIVERED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER BEING ORDERED ON A SUNDAY! Ok, impressive.Let’s move on to taste... wow. I’ve been vegan for about two years and these might be my new favorite sweet snack. Birthday cake used to be my favorite flavor before I stopped eating dairy and these marked all of my checkboxes. They’re soft like brownies, just the right amount of sweet, and of course they’re pretty darn healthy for being a dessert.10/10, you’ve got a customer for life!

They taste ok, the texture is a little weird and the sprinkles are gone.I’m not sure I would buy again.

Purchased so a friend could have a treat at a birthday party. Kid approved.

I bought these as a 12 pack - they were very expensive, but were delicious - at least the ones that were not stale!PROS -Unbelievably delicious for a Vegan cookie!Like knock your socks off delicious!CONS -VERY expensive!!Of the 12 pack I purchased, 3 of the cookies the packaging was apparently not sealed correctly so the cookies were rock hard stale - and ended up in the trash.Having to throw away 25% of the cookies - makes them even MORE expensive!!
