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 like how low cal and low sugar these are. They were hard to find tho. They were in the diabetic section of the store and not with the cookies

  • It’s definitely a cookie that will satisfy your sweet tooth but you can also tell it’s a healthier cookie by the taste. This is a cookie I would eat when I’m trying to be healthier, lose weight, etc. I say that bc the flavor wasn’t great but it wasn’t horrible. It has a soft chewy texture.

  • Joyday cookies aren't for me, but my 17 year old son really liked them and ate them all. I thought they were too much like a typical high-protein bar in both the taste and texture. I gave them 3 stars due to my household's differing opinions.

  • I loved this cookies they are delicious and they are a healthier version of the regular cookies, I like they have a good amount of fiber and the best thing is that they just have 1 gr of sugar per cookie, definitely they are great option for a craving.

  • These cookies were ok. They kind of reminded me of fig newtons in flavor. The nutritional content is pretty good. A fair amount of fiber and a bit of protein. Taste just wasn’t doing it for me. Definitely not chocolate chip cookie taste you’d expect.

  • You can definitely tell they’re a “healthy” cookie, but not at all in a bad way. They pair well with a cup of coffee!

  • I didn't love the taste of it compared to a typical chocolate chip cookie and wouldn't purchase again. I was surprised by how small the cookies were and felt the packaging could be made smaller.

  • Love the softness of these cookies and the fact that they're a healthier, guilt-free option! Note that they do taste "healthier" and are quite expensive.

  • Tasty classic delight

  • The taste is okay for a health cookie, but not anything near a true cookie.

  • I found these cookies to taste truly unpleasant. They were smaller than I expected and did not taste like regular cookies. While they were soft, both the taste and after taste were not enjoyable. This is not something I would substitute for my go-to cookie brands.

  • These cookies are chewy and moist and have a decent amount of sweetness. They’re kinda pricey and not as good as regular cookies but if you have a lot of dietary restrictions these might be a good option.

  • Not particularly impressed with these. Maybe since it is a 'healthy' cookie I should have expected it to taste healthy instead of indulgent, which was the case. First, they are found in the health supply part of the store (think bandaids, not cookies) so it is something you would have to be on the lookout for in order to get them. And, as you might expect, in that section of the store the prices are higher. Second, this is a SMALL box of cookies so the price per cookie is up there. Third, the taste is not that great. These are dry and bland. I guess they would do in a pinch. Maybe if you are looking for a dessert while on a diet this would do, not so much for the taste buds but for the mind. I like that they are lower in sugar though. Probably would not recommend or purchase again.
