Rethinking The Dough Boy

I’m not afraid to admit it – the Pilsbury Dough Boy used to be on my Freebie Five. He’s damn close to being the perfect man. He cooks, he is always in a good mood, and he’s not obsessed with his looks. And really, any man who makes baking that easy is tops in my world.

For obvious reasons, the Dough Boy is no longer Freebie Five. I miss him, but can’t justify having him on the list.

But, today I’m proud to tell you all, that there is something out there that can make the yearning for the Dough Boy a little less painful. It’s Glutenfreeda Foods, Inc line of ‘Real Cookies’.

Much like the Dough Boy, these cookies come pre-made and can be baked straight from the freezer. I was hesitant at first about how these would turn out – I’ve grown skeptical about pre-made GF products. But in the spirit of Glutastic, I cleared my preconceptions and sent Fiance to the kitchen to bake them.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. Our kitchen and living room smelled of freshly baked cookies, they smelt like the kind of cookie that is normally packed with gluten. I knew these had potential! Then came the taste test, any premade dough has to pass the freezer test. Frozen cookie dough should taste just as good as it does cooked. And these tasted great frozen. That was two checks in the pro column. And then, before I knew it, they were ready. It was time to try the final product – and to thank Fiance for slaving over a hot stove all night to make me cookies.

The Verdict: Damn Tasty.

These cookies were insanely normal. There was not a hint of GF’ness about them. Yes, GF’ness is a term, just like anything ending in ‘ish’. We hoovered them and have already added the next container to the grocery list. We found these at Superstore, I heart Superstore more and more everyday!

Try them, love them, thank me later!
