Recently, low carb sweets seem to be everywhere, but are they any good? 

Low carb diets have become more of a common thing to hear about, and brands have begun to advertise to their ‘low-carb’ and diabetic clientele. Now to answer the question, these snacks are surprisingly good.

The most popular snacks that came up when searching for “low-carb snacks” were HighKey mini cookies and Quest Soft and Chewy Cookies. After trying both of these low-carb cookies, there’s definitely a reason they’re so popular. 

First up, and in first place with a 10/10, were the HighKey mini cookies. With a total of 12 carbs per a seven-cookie serving, these cookies tasted almost identical to the infamous Chips Ahoy cookies, but healthier. 

These HighKey cookies are a great substitute treat for those who are trying a low carb diet, or those who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Sticking to a low carb diet can be difficult but treats like HighKey mini cookies, can make it more manageable. 

The second snack and coming in with a 7/10, is Quest Soft and Chewy Cookies. Coming in with a slightly higher 19 carbs per cookie, these cookies are single serving, large cookies and come in a pack of four. These cookies would definitely be a hit for the “soft-cookie” lovers, but to others they aren’t anything special. 

Quest Soft and Chewy Cookies are also a good substitute treat for a low-carb lifestyle, but these cookies unfortunately do have that chemical fake sugar taste. Most diet-type foods do have a fake sugar taste so for those who are used to it or don’t mind it, these cookies are a great option. 

Although both of these low carb alternatives have a good taste, overall, the HighKey mini cookies took the gold. For those who are on or are looking to start a low carb diet, these cookies are definitely worth a try.
