🩺🍪 HEART Exam: Goodie Girl S’mores Sandwich Cookies
Today on the exam table we have Goodie Girl S’mores Sandwich Cookies — and friends… this one is a Tachycardia Alert 🚨💓
This is hands down my favorite cookie that comes in a box (bakery cookies are a separate category in my heart).
My top two flavors?

🎉 Birthday Cake

🍎 MyPlate Teaching Moment
When we think about MyPlate, ideally:
🥦 ½ plate = fruits & vegetables
🌾 ¼ plate = whole grains
🍗 ¼ plate = protein
🥛 Calcium source included daily
These cookies?
They are not a meaningful protein source.
They are not a fiber source.
They are not contributing major micronutrients.
And that’s okay.
Because here’s the thing:
Food is not just fuel — sometimes it’s quality of life.
These cookies may not nourish my body in a big way, but they absolutely nourish my joy. And mental health matters too.
Treats can live inside a balanced lifestyle. 🍪
🍪 E = Eating
Texture:
Crunchy outer cookie
Smooth cream filling
Flavor profile:
One vanilla cookie
One chocolate cookie
Sweet on first bite
Subtle cinnamon note
Classic cookie comfort
It’s not quite like another cookie I can compare it to — it just tastes like a really good cookie.
⚠️ Portion control warning:
If I eat directly from the box?
We have a problem.
I portion two cookies onto a plate and close the box. Otherwise… tachycardia becomes reality.
Packaging note:
The cookies sit in a plastic tray with a thin inner seal. If that inner liner isn’t closed well (hello children who sneak cookies 😅), they can go stale. I recommend sealing tightly or transferring to an airtight container.
Although honestly… they rarely last long enough in our house to stale.
Even my non-gluten-free family loves these.
In fact, my husband and kids are known to bring me a box when:
They want to apologize
They want to bribe me
They want to make me smile
They know this is my favorite.
🛒 A = Accessibility

Allergy-friendly labeling makes it easy for celiac families
As someone with Celiac disease and eosinophilic esophagitis, clear labeling matters. And this one feels safe for me.
💓 R = Rhythm Rating
🚨 TACHYCARDIA 🚨
By far my favorite boxed cookie.
Dopamine boost.
Rough-day rescue snack.
Quality-of-life enhancer.
📣 T = Tell Others & Tips
✔️ Portion before eating
✔️ Pair with fruit to add fiber
✔️ Add a calcium source (hello dairy-free milk)
✔️ Enjoy mindfully and guilt-free
Life is short.
Not every day is good — but there’s something good in every day. Sometimes that “something” is two s’mores cookies on a plate.
Reminder: I am a nurse practitioner, but I am not providing medical advice. I’m simply sharing what works for me living with Celiac disease and food allergies.
Let’s all live safe, happy, healthy. 💛
