I remember them, but I didn't know they had a low sugar version. I have to stay away from floury stuff though, and do my best to keep the sugar alcohols to a minimum. I bet they're good though

yummy, I avoid buying them because I can not eat only one or two, if I open them the whole pack is as good as gone.

I've seen them in stores .. but don't buy them because I'm sure I couldn't eat just one .

There was a documentary on TV last year about the Voortman's company ... they were one of the pioneers in removing all transfats from their products.

I buy them for "emergencies." My favourite is the oatmeal. None of the ones we have tried have the firm texture of regular Voortman cookies.

However, they are made with flour. The only ingredient difference is that they have no sugar in them.

I think these cookies will be around for a long time because they are not advertising "low carb", they are advertising "no sugar." And they are not much more expensive than their regular line of cookies.

Good work, Voortmans!
