Her focus has been on creating delicious snacks that prioritize wholesome ingredients without compromising on taste.<\/p>\n<p>The twice-baked cookies ($4.99 for a 5-oz. bag) are outstanding. They&#8217;re self-described as part cookie, part biscotti. I lean toward the latter because of the crunchy texture and buttery flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Each serving of four cookies has 100 calories, 2 g. of protein, 15-17 g. of carbs and 4-5 g. of fat, depending on the variety. They are dairy-free and peanut-free but made in a facility that handles tree nuts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The cherry white chip was a delight. The Michigan cherries had a nice tartness, and the chocolate had a complementary sweetness.<\/li>\n<li>The flavor of orange and cranberry came in two parts. First, you get the zesty orange and then the wonderful dried Michigan cranberries.<\/li>\n<li>The blueberry lemon was deliciously fragrant and reminded me of a tart or a scone.<\/li>\n<li>I thought of the cinnamon chocolate chip as a crunchy, dunkable and yummy cookie.<\/li>\n<li>The prevalence of the white chocolate chips took the brownie chocolate crunch up a notch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Cooper-Street-granola-bakes-300x270.jpg\" alt=\"Cooper Street granola bakes\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Cooper-Street-granola-bakes-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Cooper-Street-granola-bakes.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I also loved the granola bakes ($17.99 for a 12-pack). They&#8217;re soft and chewy without falling apart easily. The base is made of roasted pumpkin seeds, chia, golden flax seeds and quinoa.<\/p>\n<p>Each bar has 110 calories, 2 g. of protein, 18-19 g. of carbs (2 g. of fiber) and 3 g. of fat. They are dairy-free, peanut-free and&#8211;unlike the cookies-tree nut-free.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every bite of the oatmeal cranberry, which combined cranberries and white chocolate, was so enjoyable.<\/li>\n<li>The blueberry pomegranate nailed the perfect amount of sweetness. In fact, I&#8217;m surprised that combo isn&#8217;t more prevalent in other products.<\/li>\n<li>The Michigan cherries really shine in the cherry chocolate granola bake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can purchase Cooper Street Snacks from its website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos by Cooper Street Snacks<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was excited to accept an offer to try the line of twice-baked cookies and the line of granola bakes from Cooper Street Snacks, which focuses on using locally sourced fruits and ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9570,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[352],"class_list":["post-9565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-beverage","tag-cookies"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9565"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9574,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9565\/revisions\/9574"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
