Hey! Soooooooo the nice peeps at Eat ‘n Park’s Smiley Cookies contacted me and wanted to send me COOKIES! I could not say no. BUT I DID actually verify with them that they are vegetarian because I saw glaze and didn’t want them to have gelatin in them. I actually hadn’t ever heard of Smiley Cookies before; they’re based out in Philly and make — you guessed it — cookies with smiley faces on them! They are cute!!! And they came in a cute package which of course my mom is going to reuse for who knows what:

They have flower and GASP STARS AND HEARTS TOO!!!! OOMMGGG. AND they have a section where you can make your own custom cookies, from the shape of the cookie to the color combinations of the smiley face. HAHAHAH and they even have a pirate smiley LOL.

Mine were white, round and had faces in all colors of the rainbow! I searched and took the yellow one before my mom and sister could take it

I was actually expecting this cookie to be super sweet, considering they are sugar cookies (they have named it all-purpose cookie dough) + there is the glaze. Surprisingly, the cookie wasn’t sweet at all! Or not too sweet. Not an overpowerful sweet. The glaze is hard and complements the cookie with enough sweetness to not turn off people who don’t like too sweet, but may not be enough for you if you have a huge sweet tooth at the moment (and if you know me, I like REALLY sweet things). It’s crumbly, so eat over a trash can or something. I got these on Wednesday, and I just ate some from a Ziploc bag and they STILL taste fresh; they’re not stale at all. They are freakin huge — 250 cals from each cookie! Half a cookie would be good for me if I had willpower to not finish an entire cookie. Definitely can’t deny that they are SO cute.

Now get clickin’ and remember, if your cookie gifts don’t make you smile for any reason, we’ll be happy to refund or replace them — guaranteed!

• Taste: 7 — pretty plain, but these cookies are really about simplicity and the smiley face makes up for the taste.
• Crust and center moistness: hard glaze, crunchy/crumbly cookie, but not dry
• Value: $13 for a dozen of their custom made cookies, which is just over a dollar for each giant cute cookie. Once you factor in Fedex shipping cost (they don’t charge tax!!) the value fits what you get in return.
• Overall: These cookies definitely make a cute statement! Unique, fun and not crazy expensive like gourmet shops. I would put Smiley Cookies on the list of gifts to get others. 9
