Kashi TLC cookies

I wanted to write about how much I love, love, love Kashi’s new TLC (Tasty Little Cookies) Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookies.  I can still do that, but I can’t give you a link to them, because they aren’t even listed on the Kashi website.  How odd.  We bought them at Target about a week ago, so they’re out there, somewhere, but perhaps they haven’t been distributed nationally yet.  In any case, I think they’re fabulous.  They taste “good for you” because they’re full of chewy grainy bits, but that also helps them taste homemade.  They aren’t overly sweet but do contain real chocolate and not that fake carob stuff, and they’re a large, hefty cookie.  Flippy and I were eating them as “breakfast on the run” for a couple of days, and I think we could make a fair argument that it was a healthy decision.  I like them more than Flippy does, but we have different taste in cookies—for example, she loves the “soft-batch” type of cookie, and I think they taste nasty.  So, these Kashi cookies might also be something you either love or you leave.

In the ingredient department, they’re full of good things.  Each cookie contains seven whole grains (oats, rye, barley, sesame seeds, and a few others) and three grams of fiber.  They only have 130 calories each (which is pretty good considering that they’re large), but they contain a fair amount of fat (5g per cookie).  There’s no trans fat, which is good for your heart, but will still go straight to your thighs.

If these sound like your sort of thing, do give them a try if you can find them.  I wanted to to try the oatmeal raisin flavour, but we can’t find them at the grocery store and we haven’t been back to Target.  Target is an evil place where they force you to spend at least $100 before they let you leave, so we can’t go there very often.

  2. Can you fill me in on the Nutritional Value of the TLC Cookies?
    Fat content, calories, sodium especially? I am trying to look it up for a Weight Watchers friend.
