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 loved how healthy these cookies were even when they tasted amazing! The 3 grams of sugar really stuck out to me I’ve never seen a brand that even compared with this.

  • Tasty!

  • I tried the Double Chocolate cookies and was very disappointed. They tasted gross and were incredibly expensive. Will not buy again

  • I wish it had a bit more protein but the taste was spot on. I must admit the package was gone in just 2 days! Tasted fresh but even better warmed up.

  • I liked these cookies! They are tasty, not too sweet, the 2-pack is convenient for me. I like that they are not too sweet and the chocolate chips are made of dark chocolate. However, the children did not appreciate them, they were not sweet enough. I would like the price to be lower, after all, for me it is expensive as a snack

  • These taste great for having only 3g sugar per serving (2 cookies - though it was hard to not eat more than that at one sitting.) Only a slight hint of date flavor . Love the fiber content and soft-baked cookie texture. The box had 6 to-go packs of 2 cookies. The steep price of more than $1 per cookie would keep me from purchasing again at regular price.

  • These cookies are edible; that's all I'll say about them. I'm glad they're low sugar, low carb and high fiber but I'm not willing to sacrifice taste and texture completely for the sake of nutritional value.

  • Our whole family enjoyed JoyDays! We picked chocolate with chocolate chips cookies. Those little cookies melt in your mouth. Delicious! (Just a bit pricey though)

  • I love that these are healthier than regular cookies but the taste just wasn't where it needed to be in my opinion. They, sadly, didn't come close to scratching the chocolate chip cookie itch, for me.

  • The flavors aren't great compared to their sugar-loaded dessert competitors. But that's just it: this is for you if you're looking to curb your sweet tooth without compromising on nutritional goals. I have tried the chocolate chip (on the chalky side) and peanut butter (peanut flavor is present but not similar enough to my mom's homemade cookies). The issue I have is with the price point: a single pack of 2 cookies comes out to $2.22 (when purchasing the 3 x 6 pk on Amazon). It's higher than I'd like.

  • These were very tasty chocolate chip cookies, i love that they're "better for you" and low sugar. they had a bit of an aftertaste from the sweetener but not too bad. would buy again.

  • Cookies were pretty dry and crumbly overall. They had that fake-sweet taste that the sugar alternatives frequently have. I would not get these again. I got the chocolate chip, peanut butter, and double chocolate variety pack -- my husband thought the peanut butter ones were okay.

  • These cookies are a good option for those who want to decrease their intake of sugar. I like the added fiber and protein. They are a bit expensive. Would love to see a gluten-free option.

  • Overall a nice snack but does taste a bit artificially sweetened.

  • I had purchased the variety box of Joydays. The problem we ran into was with the unexpected taste like many of others have pointed out. It wasn’t the absolute worse, but I don’t see my family reaching for these. I do appreciate the benefits of the cookies and my favorite were the chocolate chips ones.

  • I tried the chocolate chip cookie flavor. The ingredients and nutritional value are very good. The texture and lack of sweetness was not my personal preference though.

  • Great taste peanut butter cookies, clean ingredients! It is easy to take it on a road trip or school. I would buy it again.

  • Tasty but a bit dry. Think they would be better if they added some apple sauce or something to help make them moist. Overall a good tasty product! I would buy again!

  • I like how it tastes much less sweet than normal cookies. Small individual packs ideal for snack at work. Would love to try some other flavors.

  • Sooooo Yummy! They are just the right size for an anytime treat and they are 100% kid approved my kids won’t stop asking for them.
