I was so excited to get these because I thought it would be a great healthy snack to keep at my desk. I ordered these and other flavor (double chocolate chunk) and after eating a couple of each, noticed that one of the cookies had bluish green mold on it. I assumed it was a bad one in the batch. I saw on the manufacturer's website that these should be stored in the freezer since the shelf life is 90 days (due to natural ingredients and no preservatives). I immediately put them in the freezer after getting them 3 weeks earlier. The next 4 cookies I opened had that same mold on it and after I examine the rest, I found that they all were moldy. Apparently Amazon had them stored in their warehouse for a while before I rec'd them. Since there were no dates stamped on the cookies, I have no idea how long they sat in the warehouse before I got them.
I will not be ordering these again and will be wary of ordering other food products from Amazon.com. They were great about refunding my money and I will continue to purchase from amazon, just not short shelf life food items.I'm a veg who makes vegan baked goods and generally uses applesauce or banana as an egg substitute, so I'm no stranger to fruit in baking. However, these cookies have an overwhelming fruity aroma, smell and taste, that I found hard to like and even swallow. I'm guessing it might be the prune puree in the ingredients. Oh and there were a disappointing number of chocolate chips in them one cookie had two small chocolate chunks. With no chocolate to compensate for the fruity aroma 2 stars.
However, I find these filling and better with a big cup of coffee. So if you like fruitiness and want something filling for a breakfast on the go, this can be a good vegan breakfast item.Vegan. Natural. Kosher. Big cookie. Mild delicious chocolate flavor. Very soft with some chewy oats mixed in. Kind of big for a snack, but is nice for quick breakfast or meal replacement. Substantial. Vegans will especially find these cookies useful, nourishing, and convenient. 310 calories per cookie. 6g of protein. This cookie was a Vegan Grocery *** TRIPLE+ *** in the 24 pack, which is no longer available. Hopefully the good word will again flourish for the benefit of everyone. Also really like Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookie Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk, Vegan, 3-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) which has been popular with the Community.

Thank you.I believe this is the first 'vegan' product I have ever knowingly tried that is touted as vegan. The title 'vegan' in anything rather tends to scare me (as in my ignorance I have nothing to compare vegan items to, coupled with a sincere love of dairy).
However, Amazon dropped the price of these to a point where I could no longer deny my family trying them.
Here is the best that I can do to describe the taste (and please, my vegan friends, do not have a stroke at the level of my simplicity I mean no disrespect):
They taste like cookie dough cookies not cooked. If you like/enjoy cookie dough you should love these cookies. My entire family does/did (past tense as the entire 12 cookies were WOLFED down by my cookie-dough loving crew).
NOTE: if taken from a FROZEN state (where we store all our Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies), they require only **20** seconds to totally heat up. The non-vegan varieties we heat for 30 seconds and still have a cold-spot or two. These TOTALLY heat through, for us, in 20 seconds and are unbelievably delicious.I heard about these cookies many, many years ago from Weight Watchers meetings. I used to eat them a lot, but had basically forgotten about them. While running a search on Amazon, these popped up and, seeing they were vegan (I am now a vegetarian, attempting to eat vegan as much as possible), I had to try them. They are every bit as magically delicious as their non-vegan counterparts that I ate many years ago. I store them in the freezer, as recommended, and I pop them in the toaster oven on "toast" for about 5 minutes (microwaving them works, toasting is just better tasting if you have a few extra minutes adds a bit of toasty crunch on the outer layer, while still leaving the cookie moist and chewy exactly how I like them!). At around 300 calories, they are very filling without going overboard, and full of healthy, natural ingredients. If I am super hungry, I add a soy yogurt and an apple and I can go until dinner on this filling meal. I LOVE these cookies!
