Joydays reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Low-glycemic formula, blood-sugar friendly
  • Soft-baked, chewy cookie texture
  • Colorful, eye-catching packaging
  • High-fiber, portion-controlled packs
  • Occasionally dry, cakey texture
  • Noticeable sweetener aftertaste
  • Small cookie size, scant quantity
  • Inconsistent, muted flavor intensity

Joydays earns largely positive reviews as a low-glycemic, low-sugar cookie that satisfies sweet cravings without spikes, with many comparing the soft-baked texture to Chewy Chips Ahoy and praising colorful packaging, generous chocolate chips, fiber, and portion-controlled packs. Reviews also flag downsides: frequent dryness or “healthy”/aftertaste notes, small cookie size, inconsistent texture, and polarizing flavors (notably peanut butter), making them a better-for-you alternative rather than a true classic cookie replacement.

  • I enjoyed these colors more than I expected, considering their nutrition. I’m glad I tried them!

  • Kind of pricey for the number of cookies that you get but I really liked the low sugar content. I only see chocolate chip cookies in the store, would love to try other cookies from Joydays as well, if they are able to keep the price lower?

  • Love the cookies! Been trying to reduce my sugar intake and I am glad that new products are popping up with healthier ingredients and not loaded with sugar

  • They are good and healthy

  • The texture was crunchy which I love. I like that it is made with dark chocolate but the flavor is strong. If you love dark chocolate then you’d love these cookies.

  • As far as healthier cookies go, these are not terrible. It helps to satisfy a craving and they won’t spike my A1C.

  • These cookies were pretty good, but not so good that I'd go out of my way to get them again. I also wouldn't pick them over a regular cookie, especially given how expensive they are, but they could be a good choice for someone trying to cut down on sugar. They taste like other pre-packaged soft-baked cookies you can buy (sort of like the chewy Chips Ahoy cookies). They had a slightly healthy taste but no weird or unpleasant flavor.

  • I really liked the idea of healthier and low sugar cookies but didn’t really enjoy the taste - not for me

  • These were good for what they are. They obviously do not compare to cookies with a lot of sugar, but they are good alternative for those trying to be healthier. Unlike regular cookies, it is hard to eat more than two of these at a time.

  • The cookies tasted great and have only one gram of sugar per cookie!

  • Good product for my son’s treat. No sugar added, but very satisfying. Sweetness is just right, my son enjoys 2 or 3 pieces as daily snack. I hope the price would be bit lower.

  • Joydays makes a delicious cookie. I could not tell that this was a low sugar cookie. I have been trying to eliminate the sugar in my life and this cookie fits my lifestyle well. The portion size is perfect and great for taking to work in my lunch.

  • I bought one package at Walmart. There were 10 cookies in a package. They were soft and chewy. I liked them. Good snacks.

  • I was hoping to really like these cookies but they have an odd taste and texture. They would be good for someone who is watching their sugar intake and likes the taste of added fiber.

  • The inner plastic tray is very thin and fragile. The price point is high compare to its taste. It's not sweet at all and full of the healthy ingredients and benefits. The taste is chocolate liquor with just a hint of bitterness in soft texture. Not the tastiest cookies I ever have of the chocolate chips flavor but I still like it. A good try.

  • Taste just like the soft-baked Chips Ahoy cookies! I bought these for my sister, who is looking for a lower sugar cookie alternative, and we found these and they have such a good, healthy taste to them.

  • The taste isn't great, but if you have dietary restrictions this could be a good cookie alternative for you

  • Did not really enjoy this cookie. The flavor was not really what was expected of a double chocolate chip brand. I believe that there are better options for the same type of product.
