Leaf Hydrox America's Original Cookie, 8.6 Ounce (Pack of 6)

These are delicious... I always meant to try them but hey oreo was always on sale... then they disappeared from stores... Come to find out when researching...OREO IS A KNOCK OFF VERSION.So when they were re-released with all the natural ingredients and made in the USA I was like OK gotta try em!So let's start off by saying better ingredients and better taste.The cookies are crisper and don't turn into complete mush in milk... the crisp cookie part is less sweet than a oreo cookie.Maybe cause the use cane sugar and not corn syrup.... I dunno corn syrup product seem to leave my mouth feeling yucky...The filling is just as much as an oreo if not a tad more... but not over blown....The filling when licking it is still dense but creamy and smooth.... its very satisfying from my stand point of picking the cream... this beats oreo again.So all around THESE ARE BETTER THAN THE OREO who copied them.These are as pricey as a pack of oreos at full price... But then again I WONT PAY FULL PRICE for Oreos.... they better be on sale...lolThese I WILL PAY FULL PRICE FOR.There is something to be said for made in America with quality ingredients.I'm glad I bought the box of these... now I'm not buying oreos cause this case pack is dated for a year from now... so I got time to enjoy them...I'm so glad I took the plung and just ordered them.

Just delivered. Got my ice cold glass of milk. Happy old man Thanks to the Leaf Company for saving these great cookies. Way better than those tasteless Oreos.

From the time I was a little kid, Hydrox were always my favorite over Oreo. These have none of the “bad stuff” in them (HFCS), and are made in the USA. A win/win. The cream inside of these cookies is vastly superior to “the others”. Creamier and tastier. My husband and I both taste a huge difference, and eat these. Worth the wait if out of stock…THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM BACK!

Just bought Hydrox for the first time, after hearing about the David-and-Goliath story of how Oreo has been hiding the Hydrox product on store shelves, pressuring retailers not to carry Hydrox, or threatening retailers with fewer varieties of Oreos if they do carry Hydrox. Couldn't resist buying these to support the little guy, and caring less about the taste. Much to my surprise, the cookies are quite good! They are firmer than Oreos, which means they don't dissolve in milk quite as quickly, but I think that just lets you enjoy the cookie more. The cream filing is quite thick, and I agree with those who say there is better balance of sweetness in the Hydrox, and the cookies are more chocolatey. The only drawback was that in the package I opened, there were a good many broken ones, which rather detracts from the eating experience. The cookies don't seem to adhere to the filling, but I don't know if that is a shipping/handling issue or maybe something in the recipe that needs to be worked out. If the next package is similarly broken, I will lodge a complaint.Yes, they are a bit expensive, but have you seen the price of Oreos lately?

I grew up in the 90s with Oreos always around the house, and it was a very normal thing to come home from school and dunk a few Oreos in a glass of milk.Every now and then over the last 20 years, my dad would wax nostalgic for Hydrox and say that as much as he enjoyed Oreos, he really missed Hydrox. So when I stumbled across news that Leaf was going to be bringing back the original Hydrox recipe, I knew I had to get an order in as soon as they came out--both for me and for him.Unlike many other reviewers, I don't have a memory of the original Hydrox (by the time I came of age to care about such things, the few reincarnations of Hydrox were poorly-executed reproductions by Keebler and Kellogg.So, while I can't claim first-hand that they're "just like I remember" or anything, I can objectively say that these are a superior cookie to Oreo. I can only eat a few Oreos plain before being overwhelmed with the sickly-sweet flavor and Crisco-like consistency of the creme (though dunking them in milk mellows them out, which is how I always eat them).These, on the other hand...well, let's just say that I have to watch myself in order to avoid eating more than one whole package in a single sitting. The sweetness is present but not overwhelming, and the deeper, richer, darker chocolate flavor offsets the sweetness nicely. The creme has a much softer, creamier flavor and firmer texture. The whole cookie stands up much better and more cohesively than crumbly Oreos do, and it's also noticeably heftier than a standard Oreo. I will say that Oreos actually take to milk slightly better--Hydrox's firmer, denser (and probably higher-quality) wafer actually doesn't absorb milk as readily as Oreos do, but holding the Hydrox cookie in the milk a good bit longer helps to overcome that and has the benefit of forcing you to pace yourself. (Oreos get soggy much quicker than Hydrox do.)All that said, the ultimate review of the cookie may actually come from my father, who called me on the afternoon of September 28, when he received his package, and told me that I was the best son ever and that the cookies were *exactly* as he remembered. (He then called me a few weeks later to let me know that his supply was getting low. That made it very easy to decide what to get him for Christmas.) I don't buy a ton of snack foods or sweet things, but this is one thing I think will be regularly holding a place in my cupboard for a good, long while.

These are very good cookies. Unfortunately it takes a long time to get. them. Nothing against them but they aren't sufficiently better than Oreos and Oreos are easy to find.Leaf was (is?) having production issues. Of the 6 packages received all were short 5 plus cookies. So you might not actually get what you pay for.

Great match to the original Hydrox Cookie. Don't melt in your hands when you dunk them and taste was spot on. Now I wish for the variety pack that had the Original Hydrox, Vanilla and Half Chocolate/Half Vanilla in one package that we loved so well 60 years ago.Only negative was Amazon delaying shipment for weeks.
