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 love the brand's mission. The cookie itself doesn't have any depth, took a bit to get used to but it is as expected from a fairly clean carb and sugar cookie.

  • The cookies are well-baked with a delightful golden-brown hue, indicative of a crisp exterior and a chewy interior. Each bite reveals a generous distribution of semi-sweet chocolate chips that melt beautifully, providing a rich and indulgent experience. The texture strikes a pleasing balance between crisp edges and a soft, gooey center, making them ideal for those who appreciate both crunch and chewiness. The cookie dough has a buttery, slightly caramelized flavor, which complements the sweetness of the chocolate without being overwhelming. The quality of the ingredients is evident, contributing to a well-rounded taste. However, some may find the cookies a bit on the sweet side if they prefer a more subdued flavor profile.

  • Less sweet cookies. They are two small cookies in each packet. It seems wasteful to have that much packaging. It tastes ok, but the texture feels off. It's almost grainy. It's not gluten free.

  • Perfect snacks and loved the taste without the effect of sugar. It did not increase my weight when i was having it. I bought few more after this testing. Loved the idea and ingredients.

  • These cookies were so delicious -- it was really hard to eat just one packet at a time. They have great taste and consistency, and I love that they're low in sugar. I just wish the price was lower because they're a bit pricey to buy regularly.

  • Honestly the cookies were excellent for the sugar content. I found that I could eat them without experiencing any sort of crash afterwards, as advertised. I feel like the packaging could be revised especially for the multipack boxes as there is a lot of wrapper waste. However, it was convenient to be able to throw a pack in my bag when I was ready to go.

  • The cookies were a little bit crumbly and were a bot bland to my liking. The macros were however great as it contained fibers and proteins.

  • Great taste for being low sugar! They have a great cookie-like texture, and the fiber in them kept me feeling surprisingly full for a few hours. I got a variety pack, and the chocolate chip, double chocolate, and peanut butter cookie flavors all live up to their name. Definitely will buy again.

  • The **Joydays Sampler Cookie Variety Pack** offers a healthier snack option with three flavors: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Double Chocolate Chip. Each cookie has 3g of protein, 3g of sugar, and 5g of fiber. The cookies are soft-baked but can be a bit dry. They’re not overly sweet, making them ideal for those on a low-sugar diet. The individually wrapped packs are convenient, but the texture may not appeal to everyone. Overall, they're a solid choice for a low-sugar, high-fiber snack.

  • The taste is very ordinary, the chocolate is bitter, and when I take it out of the box, it has fallen into a pile of pieces.

  • I was really excited to try these cookies! I love that they're a healthy alternative when I'm craving a sweet treat, but they are pretty expensive for a small pack. They taste more like a fig newton than a chocolate chip cookie.

  • I really enjoyed these cookies! They are great heated up with some lite ice cream. My favorite is the peanut butter flavor.

  • I was so pleased with these chocolate chip cookies, and the impressive nutritional profile! The taste and texture was very reminiscent of chips ahoy soft baked cookies, but with the added benefit of fiber, and without the sugar and carbs. I love that they come pre-portioned, which makes them easy to take on the go and prevents me from overeating. I'm excited to try the other delicious flavors!

  • I like the packaging and the cookies had good flavors. I’m not a fan of the texture however others might prefer it. It was akin to a soft cookie.

  • I've only tried the peanut butter. It was very good and I did not have an artificial sugar taste. I wish the cookies were bigger.

  • The flavor is good, but the cookies are a little dry. I like that they're in individual packs, and they're easy to throw in a lunchbox. Not overly sweet!

  • I liked the mild, chewy sweetness of these cookies. They are a bit expensive but would be worth it for anyone who needs to be conscious about their sugar intake/spikes.

  • I like that they are healthier, low-sugar cookies, but unfortunately I have to say they don't taste that great. They are crumbly and lack the texture and chewiness of regular cookies. It's a shame as I like the health benefits but won't be reaching for these.

  • Love that these come individually wrapped so it's easy to stay within portion control. I like that it's very low in sugar. In fact, the cookies had a strong dark chocolate taste. (Not very sweet at all). Perfect if you like that almost bitter-ish dark chocolate taste. Great for on the go or as an afternoon pick me up
