Birthday cake flavor is usually a big No for me, but these were actually good! They are indeed crunchy/crumbly cookies, but they taste like a real homemade sugar cookie type thing. Very buttery and sweet floury flavor. No artificial grossness. Plus cute little rainbow colors throughout. A good cookie.

I bet they could make an AI of me based on this blog. Anyway, I didn't expect to like these overmuch, since I'm not a big chocolate-flavored-things enjoyer, but yet when I got the news that there was a new oat circle flavor and it was on sale!!!, I bought like 3 boxes instantly. I'm a sucker for the oat circle. My first reactions was "wow, this is not sweet at all", which was surprising compared to the other flavors, and so I didn't like it. But after a few more bites that contained larger size choco chips, I got into it. They are drier and less sweet than the other flavors, which is a nice change of pace. A little more one-note: oat, chocolate, flour. It grew on me, so I'm glad I bought 3 boxes!

These are a solid EL cookie! Similar to the oatmeal ones and whatever other holiday one I had recently, they're sweet and flavorful and not in a weird "gluten free" way (no offense). Lots of ginger pieces in here, which is nice. Sure, they're still pretty dense little crumbly balls, but at least they taste good!

These are, surprisingly, really good. Definitely the best tasting Enjoy Life cookie, and maybe product. That means they're like a REAL cookie!! Now, I've never actually had an apple cider donut, but these do have little apple chunks in (like an apple fritter!) and have a good amount of warm pie type of spices. Plus, a nice soft/chewy texture. Very pleasant, very impressive. Would definitely buy again.

At first I thought: these are bad, with just a very strong mint flavor, but after a few more I thought hey, they're not so bad. Nice chocolate chips in there, and they're definitely minty all right.

Aw, look at that cute lil pengie. Too bad these are a holiday offering, because I think they're one of the better Enjoy Life cookie options out there. These are indeed soft, and certainly more chocolate-flavored than mint-flavored, but still have a nice minty vibe. The texture is good, and they grew on me the more I ate them. Enjoyable. No actual peppermint pieces, only little dark choco chips.

My overall take on these: they just aren't that good. Nut free, soy free, sunflower free, lentil free, all good qualities, but the egg/milk/wheat-freeness really hurts these I think (sorry fam). Texturewise, the random crisped rice in there is very weird, and the taste is vaguely minty more than marshmallowy. They are chocolatey too, it's true, and crumbly. Not BAD, but very strange. No actual marshmallows in there either, just crispies and choco chips. I think the mint flavor is better because at least it tastes like what it says it is?

Hey, a new Enjoy Life product! Most of their stuff is really "meh" for me, but I do like the breakfast ovals and chocolate, so I thought I'd give these a shot. And in fact, they taste good! But they are SO freakin' small, haha. Basically they taste like a solid oatmeal raisin cookie, albeit a little dry, and the shape is a sphere instead of, you know, a cookie, but the flavor is there. Would eat, but would think "why so small and round though?".

This tastes like a dark chocolate bar, all right! The nice thing about dark choco is that it really doesn't contain any allergens in the first place. So, even though this is dairy and wheat and egg free, that doesn't affect the taste or texture at all. It's a solid dark choco bar with 4 sizeable squares, with a good snap to them too. The bad thing about dark choco is that it just isn't as good as milk or white choco, per my tastebuds. So, they did what they could, and it's not a super dark choco (50 some percent?) which I like, but it's still not my favorite treat. Definitely pleasant though.

Despite maple not being one of my preferred flavors, this was pretty good! The fillingness and hearty texture of the breakfast oval form, and the taste was mostly just cinnamony, which I like.

Surprised that I haven't had (or at least reviewed) these yet! There's so many combos of enjoy life soft/crunchy mini/normal cookies. And it seems I really didn't like the crunchy version of these, but this soft baked pack wasn't too bad. It tastes basically like a slightly cardboardy, flavorless version of chewy chips ahoy, which isn't the worst thing in the world. No weird flavors, just not a ton of flavor.

Alas, these are not great. Even compared to other Enjoy Life cookies, which themselves are not great when compared to "normal" cookies. To be fair, this bag was expired by 1 week, so maybe I got a bad batch here. They had a weird flavor, not sweet, but somehow tasted "off" -- soapy almost. The texture is great, they look good, but the taste was very weird (and I don't think it's the choco chips to blame, just the cookie bit).
