Simple Mills: Ready-to-Eat Cookies – Double Chocolate, Toasted Pecan and Chocolate Chip Cookies Review + Giveaway
This past March when I attended the Natural Products Expo one of my favorite booths was the Simple Mills booth. The booth was bright, inviting and just simple. That is what I enjoy about Simple Mills. This is a company that keeps it simple, while providing a tasty product.
During the expo, I had the opportunity to sample a couple of products, and when I saw that they had a new cookie line, I knew I wanted to investigate further. I inquired to Simple Mills so that I could sample their new cookie’s and when I reached out they were generous enough to send me a their newest sweet offering.
Let me start by saying that the products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge courtesy of Simple Mills. This post may have affiliate links but this in no way will influence the review to follow and all opinions are my own.
Simple Mills was generous to send me a trio of their new Ready-to-Eat Cookies including –
Chocolate Chip Ready-to-Eat Cookies – These cookies are sweetened with coconut sugar but they have no coconut flavor. The ingredient’s are simple and includes almond flour, coconut flour, tigernuts (a prebiotic root vegetable) and coconut oil. The chocolate chips were a good sweetness, and there is no grainy or residual after taste.
Toasted Pecan Ready-to-Eat Cookies – These contain only 11 ingredients including a Nut Flour Blend of Almonds, Pecans, Coconut, Tigernuts, Tapioca, Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil, Arrowroot, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt, Baking Soda, Konjac Root, Rosemary Extract (For Freshness), and Cream of Tartar. The toasted pecans were crunchy and before I knew it I had eaten half the bag.
Double Chocolate Ready-to-Eat Cookies – I am a fan of chocolate and even more so when it is doubled! These also contain few ingredients including a Nut Flour Blend of Almonds, and Tigernuts, Tapioca, Chocolate Chips (made of Cane Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter), Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil, Arrowroot, Vanilla Extract, Cocoa, Sea Salt, Baking Soda, Konjac Root, Rosemary Extract (For Freshness), Cream of Tartar

Make sure the oven is actually the correct temperature before putting those cookies in by using an oven thermometer.
Never melt the butter for easy mixing unless it calls for it.
I like to chill drop cookie doughs for at least an hour or two before shaping and baking. It seems to help them hold their shape better/not spread as much.
If you already know they’re a hit, double/triple and freeze. When word gets out that you made a batch of “those” cookies & didn’t make enough for everyone…..
Don’t eat a lot of the cookie dough, or you won’t have very many cookies!
I very seldom make cookies, so I’m the one who needs tips from others, because mine don’t always turn out right!
To be honest, I’m not a big cookie Baker. Sadly; I stay so busy with my 3 year old son, that I seem to be more of a Pillsbury Cookie cooker. My tip is if you want a soft and gooey cookie set the timer 5 to 8 minutes less than what the recipe calls for. If it’s still too raw than simply add 2 additional minutes and check after each timer reset!
Use parchment paper for super easy clean up.
Do not use a dark colored cookie sheet.
Follow the recipe. Always follow the recipe. 😉
don’t overbake cookies
Pms heaven lol. Need this asap!
Make sure your eggs are fresh and crack them in a bowl to avoid shells and bad eggs.
Don’t put too much flower!

When the recipe calls for the dough to be chilled, chill it at least 1-2 hrs for the best result!
Only cookies I’ve ever made were the pull apart and bake cookies. 🙂
I like to chill my cookie dough for a little bit before baking. Keep checking on them so they don’t burn.
I like to chill the cookie dough first, then dig in! Thank you so much.
My best tip is to take your time and enjoy it.
Make them with lots of love!
My tip is to refrigerate your cookie dough before baking.
If you’re measuring something like molasses, first coat your measuring cup with a little cooking spray.
Use unsalted, room temperature butter.
My best tip is to keep an eye on them while they’re baking!
I like taking all the ingredients out that I need
Don’t overbake! Cookies are better gooey rather than burned.

I use parchment paper for cookies or any baking and nothing ever sticks and it is a breeze to clean up.
dont over or under bake
My best cookie making tip is to put extra sugar in them. It makes them more crispy and delicious! I’m bad.
Don’t overcook cookies!! Don’t overcook cookies!! What is it about people that compels them to burn cookies before they’re convinced they’re done??!! It’s better to undercook than overcook cookies!! Don’t overcook!!
Set a timer! I always leave my cookies in the oven too long.
My only tip is to refrain from eating too much of the dough before you actually make the cookies.
I always set the timer a couple of minutes before the recipe says for so I can check them and usually they are done.
Preheat the oven.
Using parchment paper helps them to brown evenly and also no sticking.
mmmmmmmmm, cookies…….
My best cookie baking tip is to make them with someone you love. It’s much more fun….
My best cookie making tip is to use a cookie scoop to keep cookie size uniform and to place the scooped cookie dough on cool cookie sheets.
Remember that cooling cookies is like light baking so even if they are bit soft that they firm up after they are done cool off!
Refrigerating the dough until firm first. I make a bunch of dough and keep it in the fridge for a tray or two at a time.
do not under bake cookies
parchment paper makes clean up easy and quick.
My best tip is to closely follow the recipe and don’t over bake… some cookies bake very quickly!
Use a cookie scoop to get the same size & round cookies each time.
I like to use the butter sprays to coat the pan it is less messy
Undercook the cookies compared to overbake them! They taste better and are softer!
Read your cookie recipe carefully before starting
Don’t under cook the cookies
make sure the oven is completely heated up to the proper temp before starting to bake!
Don’t overcook the cookies.
check the oven temperature
Let your butter get to room temp.
I would say add in less chocolate chip. You get more cookie taste.
always cool them on wire racks! i never used to do this, but once I started doing it, i have not stopped because it makes the cookie so much crispier and chewier 🙂
Biggest is to let dough chill before cutting out shapes of cookies. Regular you can use right after mixing.
use parchment paper to line your pan
I recommend slightly cooler and longer cooking times for thorough cooking.
