Organic Vanilla Bean with Green Tea Sandwich Cookies

I know, I know... this is different for me. I'm not a chocolate fan normally and you all know it. However, I do love a good chocolate sandwich cookie with a creamy center and couldn't pass up a chance to review a new product.



What they say:
"Sustainably harvested from a beautiful orchid, organic vanilla is one of the most interesting and irresistible flavors in the world. Our simple and delicious filling blends pure, organic vanilla and just a hint of sweet organic green tea to create the perfect complement for our rich chocolate cookies. We hope you enjoy them."

What I say:
Pros:

Good Flavor. The green tea in the vanilla cream isn't an overwhelming flavor and doesn't fight any of the other flavors.
Nicely sweet. Not too chocolatey.
Cons:
After growing up with a trademarked-not-to-be-named chocolate sandwich cookie, I was a bit sad with my experience with this product.
Not enough cream filling- if you like to do the "twist and lick" with your sandwich cookies you will be VERY disappointed.
The chocolate cookie was too crumbly and didn't have a familiar texture.
Costly: The individual snack packs range from $1 for 4 cookies up to $3 for the same size. The box starts around $3 retail upwards to $5.

Overall Rating: Tasty, but not my familiar favorite. If you are looking for a healthier alternative, however, give these a try and fill those junk food cravings safely.
