Chips Ahoy! Gluten Free cookies have been announced by Nabisco as the brand's latest product developed with the needs of gluten-free consumers in mind. The cookies are reported to feature the same taste and texture of the original, but have a certified gluten-free recipe to make them suitable for consumers with a gluten sensitivity. The cookies were developed by the brand over the course of many years in order to get the recipe just right with a taste and texture that is as close to the original as possible.
Chips Ahoy! Gluten Free cookies differentiate themselves from the signature blue branding of the original with white packaging that's easy for consumers to spot on store shelves. The cookies are rolling out this month to retailers in the US.
