It isn't. Read the Nutrition Facts (per 3 cookies): 160 Calories, 11 Grams of Fat, 3 Grams of Saturated Fat, 18 Grams of Carbohydrate....the same, or worse, than most cookies containing sugar. These cookies may be "sugar free", but the implied health benefit is completely imaginary. Furthermore, at over 50 cents per ounce they are the most expensive packaged grocery cookies you can buy, which is completely unjustified by ingredient cost, and flavor, which is adequate but not exceptional.
It's an unfortunate fact that some companies prey upon consumers who seek or need "special" products by forcing them to pay huge premiums for the product. Using Murray's formula, a can of Diet Coke should cost at least $3....but it doesn't, simply because production costs do not justify the premium and the market will not tolerate such an unconscionable mark-up. Neither should you. Don't let your health or dietary concerns override your common sense and lead you to pay preposterously inflated prices for "special" products that, upon close inspection, provide no legitimate benefit. |

Usually if it says sugar free then it means it has a chemical taste. But not these cookies they taste just like the regular cookies. I highly recommend them. You do not have to be a diabetic to eat them. They are made with splenda and I use splenda in a lot of things, I also use the brown sugar splenda in my cooking. These cookies are great. |

I think they taste as good as any other basic vanilla creme cookie. I like a bite of sweet at night but sugar keeps me awake so these fit the bill. The special that was going on when I got them made it a great deal. They cost up to $3.99 a pack where I live.....so this is a SWEET deal.
They still have calories so you cannot eat the whole bag but they don't spike your sugar. Three cookies are 130 calories and 6 gms of fat. They are very sweet anymore and you may feel sick. |

Have you ever noticed that smaller food seems to taste better? One pouch is one carb and very satisfying. No meaasuring is always good too. |

When I learned a couple of years ago that I was heading toward diabetes and needed to cut out as much sugar as I could I knew I needed a "sweet" substitute. I tried various products and found Murray Sugar Free cookies. I like oatmeal cookies anyway so gravitated toward their cookie. I promise I couldn't tell they didn't have sugar in them. I'm so addicted to them that I even carry them when I travel (wonder what the suitcase inspectors think?!) My grandkids even recognize MY cookies and now ask for them over the sugar-loaded kind. Trouble is, I can never find them. I don't know if they're just very popular or the wholesaler doesn't bring enough. It could be that I buyt 4 to 6 packages every time I DO find them. Murray says I can find them at Wal-Mart but never have although they do have the other flavors. Now I look to Amazon and they don't have them either! I have a hint of how drunks feel when they can't get their liquor! Please, Amazon, hurry and get a supply before I run out! |

Merritt "filmreviewstew.com" | 2 | 2 | 5 | 1243641600 | Diabetics With A Sweet-Tooth --- REJOICE! | When I was diagnosed with type-II diabetes about two years ago, it felt like a death blow. I mean, I love sweets. And my favorite were peanut butter cookies (my wife also made a mean peanut butter cheesecake that I still crave to this day but am able to hold off thanks to these Murray Sugar Free Cookies). I'd tried other sugar free items but they all had a seriously bad after-taste to them. The artificial sweetners were pretty bad.
But the Murray brand are pretty darned good. And I can eat about 6 of them that equal 32 carbs (I'm a tall guy --- 6 feet, three inches --- with a big frame). There's no horrible after-taste and the peanut butter flavor is just enough to satisfy my slavering pallete.
If you're looking for a quality cookie that won't shoot your blood sugar up into the statosphere, these are a great option. |
| 388539 | 388539 | B000AY9UBQ | A2UDBMXH1TUTB4 | NJ | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1336521600 | Fab, as long as you understand what's in them! | My fiance & I are following a reduced carbohydrate eating plan. Given that these are sugar free, they are great for when you need something sweet, but with a slighter glycemic impact than regular cookies.
They taste almost like Girl Scout Thin Mint patty cookies! They are NOT, however, low in calories, or free from ingredients that some may feel are "unhealthy".
Since people's ideas vary greatly as to what is bad for them & what is okay, there is some understandable controversy. In my opinion, most of America is over weight because they don't know HOW to eat, but that's just my take on things. Everything is conflicting. Low carbohydrate foods are higher in calories & vice verse. I have an extreme digestive sensitivity to Malitol (Maltitol), which is a sweetener used in most sugar free chocolate items. While these cookies don't contain Malitol (Maltitol),there are very few items available that are without it.
Bottom Line: They taste great! My suggestion would be to check the ingredient list & nutritional information each & every time you purchase, I recommend purchasing in a grocery store, rather than online. |

I took them to a friend's house and they had no idea the were sugar free until I told them. I snack on them at work and willl be trying other varieties by Murray. |
| 388541 | 388541 | B000AY9UBQ | A29313797NGT9L | Eddie Wannabee | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1244073600 | Good enough! | For people avoiding sugar, Murray Sugar Free Cookies Oatmeal, are good enough! This whole thing about sugar free products got me intrigued and confused at the same time. Some products that advertised as being sugar free have a lot of other sources of sugar, like alcohol, that are high. The feeling I get with Murray's is that they are reliable in their claims. I see them in all sorts of reputable publications and that gives me encouragement regarding their advertisement. As to the taste I can say they are pretty good tasting. Have tried their other ones and this one and the chocolate are the ones I favor. Who am I? Hungry hungry all the time for sweets but I realize not all sugar free items are created equal. For now a decent 4 stars rating! |
| 388542 | 388542 | B000AY9UBQ | A31ASDA3Z5BCYZ | Leigh | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1243468800 | Delicious! | I ordered these cookies for my husband as he's diabetic and loves peanut butter treats, so it was no surprise that he really liked them. What was surprising, however, was that I liked them, too! As a rule, I do not like peanut butter anything, and can barely stand the smell of it. But these cookies aren't your typical peanut butter cookie. They are pleasantly fragrant, delicately buttery and crisp (no mealiness like most others), with good-sized pieces of peanuts mixed in. Just delicious! |

I guess that makes them sugarfree. They certainly don't taste like they are. I despise the taste of fake sweetners, but the folks at this company did a great job. The cookies are very yummy! I only gave it four stars, because I prefer soft and chewy oatmeal cookies. |

They give me the great taste of sweet chocolate without the guilt of blowing my diabetic or my weight loss diets! And I feel like I get so many of them since they're small! I also love the fact that they're portioned out for me.
I can't say enough about these cookies and cannot wait until they're available on the shelves again! Please hurry, Murray! :) |

I picked up a package of these and used them for a cookie crust on a cream pie with Jell-O Sugar-Free Instant Pudding & Pie Filling, Chocolate, 1.4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24) and whipped cream lightly sweetened with non-sugar sweetener. The result was gorgeous and tasted pretty good even to those of us who can have sugar. For him? He told me "You know I can't have sugar." and when I told him it was sugar free he dug in with gusto. He said "It's not even my birthday and I feel like I got the best present."
It was so easy to make, and the crust was his favorite part. I gave him an extra package of cookies I bought and he enjoyed those a lot too.
Love these for making it so much easier to make special treats for my uncle. |

I bought these cookies thinking they would be a poor substitute but SURPRISE, they really do have a huge chocolately taste and while they won't take the place of home-made fudge or gourmet chocolates, they are still satisfying.
They are tiny, not much bigger than a life saver really and come in 80 calorie packages so I don't have to worry about portion control. Also, it can be hard to get enough fiber in your diet every day so I like the fact that these have 3 grams of fiber per package. My husband is a type II diabetic and these do have 16 grams of carbs but because of the fiber, they don't spike his blood sugar.
The only downside to these is they do have 3g sugar alcohol which can cause some people stomach upset.
I'm still probably going to have goodies this holiday season but with these cookies in my pantry, I know I won't indulge as often. |
