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 bought these through a thingtesting offer. I had low expectations but was still let down. They are so, so dry, and not even remotely sweet. After eating it, I felt like I had eaten nothing. It somehow feels like a healthier dryer version of a fig newton, or other date-based bars. If I was expecting the food to be a granola bar or similar, I wouldn't be so dissapointed. But because it markets itself as a cookie, I was expecting something at least in the same ballpark as a cookie? Would not buy again.

  • Just discovered Joydays' delicious low-GI cookies, and I’m obsessed! They’re the perfect guilt-free treat—tasty, satisfying, and great for blood sugar balance. Ideal for keeping cravings in check while enjoying a sweet snack. If you want delicious bites that are good for you, Joydays is a must-try!

  • I love that this cute package of cookies has 5 grams of fiber and only one gram of sugar! They’re soft and chewy and taste a little like fig newtons (maybe because of the dates?). A guilt-free treat- even my teenage daughter likes them!!

  • I saw Joydays free testing opportunity and I couldn't say no - a HEALTHY cookie? Who knew of such a thing? I love the packaging and their site -- I can see why organic lovers flock and would love to buy this product, especially for their kids. They have a nice range of flavors and quantities to choose from - along with a super box with all of the flavors. I tried the peanut butter. While I enjoyed them, I can't say I'm a huge sweets person to begin with, so I wouldn't see myself snacking on them often. However, if you're on the go, looking for a little sweets to indulge in, I would recommend as its a heck of a lot better for you than digging into a box of Oreos.

  • The texture is like sand and there is absolutely no flavor.

  • I enjoy these cookies as a lower added sugar option. My family especially likes the taste of the chocolate chip and double chocolate options. While I wish there were more cookies that came in a package, I would purchase this product again.

  • Wanted to love these but just couldn't get behind them. Cute packaging but the actual taste of the cookie is exactly as advertised: barely any calories (and barely any flavor in my opinion). These are great for people counting calories.

  • got one of these free as part of a rebate deal thing. not easy to find but they're quite good and low in sugar. a lot like those belvita cookies you see. great afternoon snack option or light breakfast snack with coffee

  • These are reallllllllyyyyyyyy gross. They taste like straight artificial sugar and the texture is kind of weird. Do yourself a favor and eat a real cookie, or 2 real cookies, you don't need to punish yourself like this.

  • Joydays cookies offer a low-sugar, high-fiber treat that's great for those watching their sugar intake. The flavors are decent, but some may find the texture a bit dry and the taste slightly artificial. They're a good alternative for health-conscious snackers, but don't quite match the indulgence of traditional cookies.​

  • I don't have to eat low sugar for medical reasons, but appreciate that this option exists for those that do. I found the cookies to be a bit dry, as I like a moist cookie. If you like a crunchier cookie, these may be great for you!

  • I love the chocolate chip cookies. They are low-sugar and I love the option of it being a healthier alternative for those who are health conscience but love sweet treats.

  • Each bite is satisfying, and they’re great for anyone who’s trying to cut down on sugar without missing out on a delicious treat. I love the variety of flavors they offer—there’s something for every craving. Definitely a go-to for me now!

  • Wanted to love these for the low-sugar qualities. They were just too dry for my liking...

  • I have tried their products before, not the tastiest in my opinion. They had a review for the Joy Days Tote bag though. Which was not quite what I thought I was reviewing considering it’s mainly sweet treats.

    Received a free product from Joydays
  • My dad is a diabetic and he doesn't have many choices at Walmart when it comes to sugar-free cravings that keep his blood sugar level under control, so I'm glad that he has a brand new option in Joydays when he shops for food at Walmart.

  • I love the flavor of these cookies, despite them having lower added sugar than many of their competitors. Had I not known about the lower added sugar content, I never would have guessed it by the taste. My family loves these, as well, and I have bought them multiple times.

  • I love cookies, but the sugar is awful in some of them. These are not only really good for me, which is a huge plus, but it has way less sugar than normal cookies and I still feel like that craving is filled.
