Well, I intended on taking a picture of the cookie for a review, but I ate that thing like a mom sneaking a cookie in the pantry while her toddler asks "what are you doing Mommy??" The texture was a lot like those soft-baked cookies in the red pkg (do they even still make those?) & It did not crumble or make a mess when I bit into it. It wasn't quite as sweet as those soft-baked cookies, either, but it is a very close comparison for me. I couldn't believe how good it was! And I still eat full sugar treats! I find reviews can be skewed as some people haven't had sugar or carbs or whatever for like 9 months then they review a cookie. I would totally recommend these & am going to order the chocolate chocolate chip ones right now.
Where to begin, this cookie changed my life. I've been a low-carb eater years and definitely helps with that sweet tooth craving on the go or at home. The macros are great for the goals I'm trying to hit. Unfortunately, other protein cookies on the market just don't deliver in taste, marcos or texture. In my opinion, the Quest cookies hit all 3! Out of 4 flavors available, this is probably my 3rd favorite simply based on preference. Regardless, I'd have any of the cookies to fulfill my protein/low-carb needs while enjoying what feels like a cheat meal. Thank you Quest!
Great cookie! Warmed it up for 20 seconds in the microwave. The closest protein cookie I've had to a real cookie. Very good for a keto diet. Highly recommend!
They're not the greatest tasting treat, but what can you reasonably expect from a "healthy cookie"? From a taste/flavor standpoint I'd give them 3.5 out of 5 stars. From a texture/consistency standpoint I'd give them 5 out of 5 stars (they definitely "feel" like a soft, chewy cookie). From a macro/calorie standpoint I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars. They're a bit high on calories considering they're not very large in size, but they have a good amount of protein and they're very low on sugar. Carbs are a bit high though so I'd dock them a star for that.
I am trying to live a low carb lifestyle, but I admit, I miss my carb-filled, sugary sweets. As any low carb dieter will tell you, most diet snacks end up leaving you with a mouth full of sadness.
These cookies, don't. And that is a great thing for me. They're moist, have a great texture to them, and really hit the spot when you're on the verge of quitting your diet. I've tried two flavors now, the chocolate chip and the snickerdoodle flavors, and both are worth purchasing again. This far, neither has impacted my blood sugar or kicked me out of ketosis.
My only complaint is they have a faint aftertaste, most likely a result of the sugar substitute. Many are probably not bothered by this, but my taste buds are really sensitive to artificial sweeteners. All that said, the aftertaste is comparatively mild, and soooo worth it.

Description
The Quest Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie is the next evolution in protein flavor. We’ve managed to pack in 15 grams of protein per cookie while maintaining low sugar. Every Quest Protein Cookie is satisfyingly sweet, soft and chewy, and packed with nutrition. Ditch the guilt of cookie and chocolate cravings and indulge in this sinfully sweet snack.
I have been obsessed with these since they came out. Finally a protein cookie that isnt full of sugar. Chocolate chip and peanut butter are the best flavors so far. Oatmeal raisin and gingerbread are decent when the craving strikes. The double chocolate is a little dry but still edible, I never really buy them anymore though. I like these way better than regular quest bars. Soft and chewy, sweet enough for people who don’t have a huge sweet tooth. Great if you warm them up.
Now. On to the new addition in the family. PB chocolate chip. The texture is amazing. So soft and chewy. The closest one to an actual cookie. I was blown away. Until...the entire cookie was littered with large whole peanuts. Not chopped like the PB cookie. Texturally this doesn’t work in the cookie at all. I ordered an entire box, so I am now spending 5 minutes removing the abomination of nuts from my cookie. If the peanuts were removed this would be my favorite.
These cookies are so good. I've had to cut sugar, diary and wheat out of my diet and baked goods are something I miss every day. When I saw these in an airport I was willing to give them a try as it is so hard to find anything that ticks all the boxes. They have a good texture, although it is a little unusual. Not really like real oatmeal raisin cookies--but please, they are not real oatmeal raisin cookies! However, they are pretty darn good.
The only drawback is they are made with a fairly high amount of sugar alcohol and I can only eat one pack a day without very unpleasant side effects. So, as long as I eat them in moderation they are great!
Sugar Alcohols are not digested and cause gas and bloating in high amounts. The gas is very antisocial--do not eat at work! :) For home consumption only, haha.
The macronutrient balance in the chocolate chip (the only one I am interested in) is perfect for a ketogenic diet. I have had a love-hate relationship with checolate chip cookies ever since I was a child. I always wanted to eat them, but hated myself for eating them. Now I can eat chocolate chip cookies and actually feel good about it! Also, I always thought chocolate chip cookies were too sweet anyway, and this is just right. These cookies taste like a splurge, but are still on-plan. Thank you, Quest.
So these Cookies are actually really good and very filling. When you are looking for a snack and you don't want junk, these are excellent to have around. I did price comparisons with just about all the online vendors and Amazon has the best price. Do yourself a favor and try these and the double chocolate. High Protein, low Sugar, yummy flavor; go for it!
These are delicious. We bought them as a treat for our Type 1 Diabetic son but now we all eat them as a guilt-free treat. For our son - we send in a cookie (they are individually wrapped) to school. They keep it on hand for when one of the other students has a birthday treat - our son doesn't have to miss out - he's perfectly happy having his cookie.
We introduced my sister to them (who is on a keto diet) and she is hooked too!
I will say the chocolate chip are the best - both the fudge and peanut butter ones are a bit dry.
