There are two cookies in each package&#8230;these are normally sold in boxes of 12 packages, but I was able to purchase single packs online from Netrition.com for $1.99 each.<\/p>\n<p>The Double Chocolate Chip cookies tasted just like the chain-grocery store bakery kind: chocolatey and moist &#8211; cakey, with just a hint of chewiness.  The Oatmeal Raisin cookies were both sweeter and firmer&#8230;they were tasty, but there was really nothing about them that suggested &#8220;oatmeal&#8221; to me&#8230;they were more like chewy sugar cookies with raisins.<\/p>\n<p>Although &#8220;Chef Jay&#8221; describes his line of products as &#8220;healthy-style bakery goods,&#8221; &#8211; I&#8217;d be more inclined to describe them as &#8220;value-added&#8221; bakery goods.  These are still made from sugar, butter and refined flour, after all, so &#8211; while they have less fat and calories than Mrs. Fields&#8217; cookies &#8211; they aren&#8217;t strictly &#8220;healthy&#8221; either.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit, though &#8211; they were rather satisfying.  Although I wouldn&#8217;t recommend these as a meal replacement (due to the lack of fiber and micronutrients), I could think of worse things to eat to satisfy a craving for chocolate or sweets.<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:4.0&#8221; &#8220;Quality:5.0&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:3.5&#8221; &#8220;Value:4.0&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Chef&#8221; Jay Littmann is the creator of the Tri-O-Plex line of protein-fortified bars, cookies, puffs and brownies.\u00a0 Chef Jay products are sold through a wide variety of online [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[42,119,223,272],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":508,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions\/508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
