Almondina Almond Cookies, Variety Pack Flavors, Non-Dairy and Kosher Thin Cookies, Toasted with Natural Ingredients, Sweet and Crunchy Biscotti Snack, 4-Ounce Package (Pack of 6)

Edit, 3/28/16: Putting stars back to five after being informed of current Amazon price, which is approximately what I previously considered a normal grocery-store price.Edit, 3/7/13: With this edit, I downgrade this excellent product from 5-stars to 1-star. The soaring price is completely out of control.The already highish price for my last order six months ago has now gone completely crazy, IMO. Plus, they are no longer offered as a "Prime" item, although the 3rd party vendor is offering free shipping. They darn well should. The price has increased by about fifty percent since my last purchase, which also shipped free. Probably has to do with the difficulty of shipping these fragile cookies and customer blowback and returns. Whatever. They are still available at Trader Joe's and, sometimes, at regular grocery stores. I am not a super cost-conscious shopper, but I don't want to be a complete fool either.***I found these great little cookies looking for anything low-salt in the cookies/cakes/pastry line. I will admit that eating one is not exactly the same ecstatic experience as eating a really top-quality brownie.But that's a good thing, I've decided! They are delicious but don't seem to bulldoze willpower in the way that a super sweet, buttery-rich treat does. They are very crispy, similar to a hard biscotti but still easy and pleasant to munch on because they are thin and bite off easily.And not only are they low in salt, they are also quite low in calories. I like a little something sweet with my coffee in the mornings. A couple of these cookies gets it done for me for at a remarkable 67 calories! I have never before felt satisfied with any accompaniment to my coffee at anywhere near that number of calories.Now let's not be crazy: This is not a substitute for an egg mcmuffin or any kind of traditional breakfast. But for what is essentially a light, tea biscuit, it goes an awfully long way. And I ~love~ them!Edit, 9/9/12: I just placed an order for 4 x 6 packs, i.e., eighty bucks worth of cookies, more or less. It became just too much of a burden to repeatedly order them 2 x 6. Someone complained about them being broken up. That's a problem...they break. I've bought them broken up at the grocery store, too. Realistically, this is not much of a problem unless you are serving them at an elegant "tea." I don't have a problem with a lot of them being in bite-sized bits.Amazon's price is a little higher than it once was. Not sure what is happening with the price at the grocery store. I mostly order them so that I don't have to hunt them in the grocery store...they are a bit of a category buster and can be hard to find even in stores that have them. One day I went to Trader Joe's where I had been buying them; their shelf location was unchanged but they only had a couple of packs left. I'm Amazon Prime and Brown brings them right to my door in two days. What's not to like.

My mom LOVES these cookies. They do not sell them where she lives and she was soooo happy that I was able to buy them for her on Amazon. Light almond cookie - great with coffee or tea.

As a cancer patient with attendant treatment nausea, I was looking for something with candied ginger bits that would compare favorably to Trader Joe's Triple Ginger or Whole Foods Raincoast gingerbread crisps.There are 15 cookies in each box. Six boxes in each package. That's a total of 90 biscotti sized cookies. . Each cookie is the length of the standard biscotti. but is very thin. Pretty goodI compared it to Raincoast Gingerbread crisps.Almondina has NO salt. That's why it tasted like some nostalgic memory of my childhood in Europe. But comes from Ohio.Unfortunately it does have sugar as its third ingredient. which rings diabetic alarm bells. One serving (4crackers.34g) Total sodium 0% total carbs 20.Raincoast gingerbread crisps, neat little seasonal crackers out of British Columbia, have 75 mg of salt per 3 crackers serving. Total carbs 9g per serving. Protein 2g.Since Raincoast crisps were winter seasonal at Whole Foods I began searching for year around substitute.Despite sugar, the ginger Almondina looked promising. The first ginger Almondina I tried was sweet, flat tasting without a trace of ginger, but thick and hard. The second one I tried from the same box had nice bits of candied ginger.So ginger Almondina is an acceptable substitute flavor wise to Raincoast gingerbread crisps, assuming you check out your blood sugar and blood pressure response.I cant say whether it will have any effect on my nausea, so will keep the scopolamine patch by my ear. But these are quite tasty if a bit too sweet for my taste.

These are so incredibly delicious, love them especially with brie. Also sometimes roll brie in honey and crushed pistachio as well A+

This is our favorite go-to breakfast treat to serve along with morning coffee or tea. I love the crunch factor and the flavor and it's easy to serve with a lower calorie range too. We buy these by the boxful to have them on hand every day.

I love those thin crispy cookies

I am accustomed to buying/eating this product as sold by Trader Joe's. I was, however, thrilled to be able to buy this from Amazon. My delight was ended the moment I opened the box to begin eating the Almondina. It was oh so stale and dry & rendered tasteless by virtue of just plain old old stock. How could you sell something so old and stale? Do your customers a favor. Tell them you have no product stocked. Do not sell this old dried out stuff to anyone else that requests to order it after me.May I pls. return for refund? I can't eat it.Pls. reply. Thanks
