I have purchased these cookies twice now (I'm backlogged, but I was afraid that Amazon wouldn't stock them again) and I'm slowly eating my way through them.

Many people have attempted to describe the taste and I agree with most of the previous descriptions - they are not hyper sweet or milk chocolate-y, but rather almost like a darker chocolate taste. Don't take me calling it dark chocolate to mean they're bitter, because they're not, but imagine the taste of a normal Hershey's bar if you removed half the sugar. You'd still get the nice taste of chocolate, but just in a more subdued fashion. If you have a chocolate craving, and not a sugar craving, you'll love these cookies. If you have just a simple sweet tooth and a craving for sugar, well these may not be quite what you're looking for.

One thing to keep in mind is that these are what I would classify as "very hard" cookies. Most of the cookies you find on the grocery stores now days contain quite a few fatty ingredients that make the cookie yield in your mouth instead of crunching. These suckers crunch. A lot. I would even go far as to say that if you have dental issues, milk would be a requirement to eat these. The texture is very similar to eating Nature's Valley granola bars (not the chewy ones).

I love, love, love the Cinnamon Graham Alphabet Cookies. They are hard to find in the stores, and the one place I always could find them is no longer carrying them. So, I bought a Pack of 12. Unfortunately, they were just about to expire, and they were stale. My husband and son ate them anyway, but I was disappointed. I would be nervous about ordering them again. Pity, because when they are fresh, they are 5-star cookies.

I recommend these cookies to any chocolate lover - the cookies have a deep, rich cocoa flavor....they're low fat, yet quite tasty -- a delicious and nearly guilt-free snack!

The cookies are very yummy, and have a good amount of chocolate taste to them, and just the right amount of crunch :) I would definitely buy these again, but probably not from amazon. I bought the 12 pack of cookies mid-August, and ALL of them expire in the beginning of November 07. I know you CAN eat things past the expiration date, but if I'd known the expiration date was 3 months later, I wouldn't have bought a 12 pack of them!

If they taste this good, so close to their expiration date, I imagine the fresher ones are even better!

These are a great snack to have on hand and carry in the diaper bag. They are a wonderful treat for my two-year-old son who is allergic to milk and eggs. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have the extra exposure to the ABCs, huh?

Though resembling nothing like the common graham crackers found in most grocer's cookie aisle, these small squares are quite delectable and relatively guilt-free.

I have ordered these twice now, they taste so good! I also tried the chocolate wheat-free ones, they were awful, I would not order them again, but have been waiting several weeks for the grahams to be stocked!

Newman's Own Organics Alphabet cookies are very chocolatey and very crunchy. The first time I tried them I was hooked! My two children also think they are fantastic. If you are have not tried organic cookies before, these cookies are a good starting point.

I've had a great experience with the Newman's Own Organics Newman-O'S Ginger-O'S, and was very pleased. So I decided to try Cinnamon Graham Alphabet cookies.

These cookies are not as sweet as the Newman's Own sandwich cookies, which is a big plus. These are quite tasty with a good balance of natural sweeteners and the right amount of cinnamon. While I prefer a strong cinnamon flavor, these cookies did not disappoint me. It makes for a nice treat. They barely pass my all-important "dunkability" test, or how they taste when dunked in milk. While they dunk very well and absorb milk quickly and awaken the flavor of the sweetener and cinnamon, the cookies are so small that you'll be dunking fingers along with cookies.

There are a few minuses; but given the quality of the cookies, they're minor:

1) The cookies are smaller than I thought, so be careful giving them to small children. But I'm sure they'll love them.
2) Because of their size, it makes them very easy to overeat them. Despite their all-natural organic ingredients, they're still cookies: They're not very nutritious, they're very sweet and are high in calories. Self-control is essential.
3) These cookies are amazingly hard to chew; they are very crunchy. Eating them helps me to appreciate how hard dogs work to chew dog biscuits. Your molars will get some work chewing these down.

As with all groceries sold by Amazon, I suggest buying a pack at a supermarket and trying it before buying the case. But I'm confident you will not be disappointed.

After googling these and seeing that some people are obsessed with the arrowroot variety, I thought I would give them a try. They taste basically like graham crackers or maybe animal crackers with strong taste of honey. It's great that they have no trans fats, minimal chemical ingredients, are mostly organic, and "non-profit"; but they're nothing to get excited about. The hard texture is a pro/con in that it forces you to eat carefully, and limits your desire to gorge. These are good non-lethal commercial cookies, but like all commerical cookies are lacking in nutrition and taste.
