🩺 Simple Truth Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
A Nurse Practitioner’s Sweet HEART Exam 🍪
Welcome back to the food clinic, friends! Today’s patient is Simple Truth Free From Unwanted Ingredients Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough — yes, the name is a mouthful, but so are the cookies.
As always, I’m a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (but not your Nurse Practitioner). This is just my personal experience — not medical advice. Let’s run this cookie through its HEART Exam!
💓 H = Health Snapshot
Each cookie clocks in at 120 calories, with 6g fat (3g saturated), 19g carbs (3g fiber), and 1g protein. There’s even a tiny hint of iron (like a sprinkle of nutrients whispering “I tried”).
These cookies are:
✅ Gluten Free
✅ Vegan
✅ Non-GMO
✅ Free from the FDA’s Top 9 Allergens — no milk, eggs, soy, wheat, sesame, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, or shellfish!
They use a gluten-free flour blend made with oat, chickpea, and tapioca flours.
Oh, and they can be frozen for up to two months or baked from frozen—just tack on a few extra minutes to the bake time.
Simple Truth’s “Free From 101” list means they skip over 101 ingredients they consider unhealthy. Love that commitment to clean eating — and baking!
🍽️ E = Eating Experience
Straight from the oven (baked at 325°F on a silicone mat), I let these little cuties cool for a few minutes before diving in.
🍪 Texture:
Small but mighty—smaller than some other GF/DF refrigerated doughs.
Soft and chewy center.
Slightly crisp edges (the perfect contrast).
Mini chocolate chips = major win.
Taste-wise, these hit that nostalgic chocolate chip cookie craving without tasting “gluten-free.”
👩👩👧 My family verdict:
Husband: “We need to buy more.”
Daughter (the non-allergic foodie): “They’re really good!”
Me: Already preheating the oven again.
💰 A = Accessibility & Value
Purchased at Mariano’s for $6.49 in the refrigerated section (near Loren’s GF/DF cookies). You’ll have to look carefully—they like to hide in the back like shy little cookie patients waiting for triage.
💓 R = Rhythm Rating
These cookies earn a solid Tachycardia ❤️🔥 — sweet, convenient, and full of chocolatey goodness.
Perfect for when I want dessert that feels homemade but requires zero effort.
💡 NP Tip: If my family ever wants to “bake me a treat,” this is the one. Just don’t forget the parchment paper—because love shouldn’t stick to the pan.
💬 T = Tell Others
Yes, tell everyone—especially the ones who think “gluten-free” means “sad cardboard.” These are proof that allergen-friendly can still mean yum.
I’ll definitely buy again. And maybe again. And again. (For science, of course.)
💖 Final Impression
Simple Truth’s gluten free cookie dough is officially charted and cleared for repeat prescriptions (er… purchases). Affordable, allergy-safe, and family-approved.
👩⚕️ Reminder: I’m a Pediatric NP, but not your NP — this review is purely for fun, not medical advice. Always check labels and ingredients for your own health needs.
💗 Until next time—live safe, happy, and healthy.
