Review, Our Son Cole: Caveman Cookies

A few weeks ago, we had Cole on Episode 25 of The Paleo View on our kids show and he talked a lot about his favorite things about being a paleo kid. One of the things he talked about was Caveman Cookies, a natural ingredient, simple, and paleo-friendly cookie that we personally enjoy a great deal.

Apparently, he was so enthusiastic about it that he endeared himself to the founder of the company herself, who sent us a box of the newest flavor, New World. Inspired by this really cool thing that made him feel like a rockstar, Cole decided he wanted to write about Caveman Cookies for the website (his first blog post!). The following was written by a seven year old and merely proofread by a thirty-two year old.

I got a new Caveman Cookie flavor in a package today. I really liked it! It was called New World, but you can’t buy it yet because we got a preview. Sorry,but I will tell you the ingredients: maple syrup, honey, almond meal, pecan meal, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, spices. That’s it! It’s really good.

I bring these cookies to school for treats instead of eating the gluten cupcakes and cakes that my friends and teachers bring sometimes. Like today my teacher brought in Pixie Stix but I had a Caveman Cookie. I keep them on a shelf in the classroom because they last a long time. I like Tropical flavor the most because it reminds me of my favorite fruit, pineapple, even though there’s no pineapple in it.  It only has these ingredients: almond meal, honey,  coconut, macadamia nuts, ginger. Now I also like New World as a favorite.

p.s. from his parents: Cole loves to read the comments you write on the blog and Facebook page – so please let him know what you think of his first blog post; maybe he’ll write more!

We purchase our Caveman Cookies at Spencer’s Market, a daily discount site for REAL food. Cole’s favorite flavor is Tropical, but every flavor is awesome!

    Thanks, Cole! I might have to get some for my daughters. But one of them doesn’t like pineapple (crazy!) so we’ll have to try New World or one of the other flavors.

    That is an AWESOME idea! I think I should suggest that to my brother (around your age) to bring to school as a
    treat”…of course after they come out for sale! Thanks. Great post!!

  • Sarah || Celiac in the City

    Hi, Cole! What a COOL post. You did a great job — and I got to learn more about these cookies I have been hearing so much about. They sound yummy, I’m going to have to try them. (and share some with my gluten-free nephew too) He’s six and he loves the Eat Like a Dinosaur cookbook from your parents. We reviewed that book, just like you did a review of the cookies and we had a great time doing it. Keep up the good work, buddy!

  • Michelle

    Great review Cole! I may just have to check them out myself!

    Awesome post, Cole. Please ask your mom and day about nutfree schools and suggestions. :)

  • Michelle

    Great post! Is there a “no nut” policy at your school? If so, how do you get around that?

  • Ellen

    I immediately went over to Spencer’s Market to buy some Caveman Cookies! I’d seen them there but hadn’t bought any yet. You inspired me, and I’m sure my kids are going to love them!

  • Lauren

    Yum! Those sounds fabulous, Cole. Thank you for the review!

  • Evelyn

    Great post Cole!!! I hope I can get some of those cookies here in Montreal, Canada!
    By the way, we got our ELaD copy in the mail on Tuesday and I read your story part to my kids as a bedtime story…. they loved it and want to eat like dinosaurs!!! We went through all the recipes and they picked what they want me to cook up!
    You and your family will be our inspiration so please keep writing and we will keep reading :)

  • Jennifer D

    Awesome post Cole. I will have to show this to my 3.5 yr old son. Thanks for the post!

  • Darcie

    Cole, thanks so much for your post! I have to go shopping for some Caveman Cookies so that we can try them too. My two boys (ages 7 and 3) don’t really like to eat a lot of meat and vegetables right now, but we have your Eat Like a Dinosaur cookbook and we have read your story together and tried some of the recipes. So far they really like the Fool’s Gold and mint ice cream! We also decided to plant a garden this year because you and your family make gardening look like lots of fun. I want my boys to be more like you and your brothers so keep up the good work and please write some more blog posts for us! I would especially like to see blog posts when you try new foods so that I can encourage my boys to try them too. Thanks!

    Great post Cole. Love that you think ahead and have a stash of cookies for the days when “not healty” treats are given. Love the review. Will show my boys. Show them that their are other kids who eat Paleo.!! this rocks!!

  • Dana

    Wow, Cole, thanks for telling us about these cookies! I had never heard of these before, and now I cannot wait to try them! I think my grandsons might like them, too (if I am good and don’t eat them all up ;) .

  • Mary

    Great review, Cole! These look delicious, now that I know you love them so much, I have to give them a try! :)

  • Holly

    Thanks Cole- I have not tried these yet, but now I think I am going to go get some. I think my 11 year old daughter will like these if I tell her that they received your stamp of approval!

  • http://freckledfoodie.tumblr.com/ Rachael

    Hey Cole, I wish I had some of those cookies, you made them sound so yummy! I bet if we were hanging out you would share one with me :)

  • Terra B

    Hey Cole – Thanks for the review. My 8 year old also has to keep treats around for when they give out snacks at school so maybe she will like these cookies too. I appreciate that you included the ingredients in your review (she can’t have eggs so this is perfect!) Tonight I will show both my girls your blog post with the hope that a review by someone their age will inspire them. I hope you post more blogs because I loved this one! Thank you!

    PS: are you going to see the Croods? I would love to see a movie review from ya!

  • MrsCad

    Hey Cole! Great review! I will have to look for that flavor when it comes available. The cookies sound delicious!

    Cole, those sound like a really good treat! I keep things like that in my cupboard at work – my friends like to eat cakes and cupcakes too – so I never feel like I’m missing out. I’ll have to try some of these cookies! Thanks for telling me about them.

  • Zachary

    Hi Cole! I will probably have these “Caveman Cookies” myself!
    from: Zach a Paleo kid like yourself
    I think you’re awesome! My email is zacariasreagan@gmail.com if you want to write me back.
    P.S. Two things. One, I have “Eat Like a Dinosaur”! My favorite recipe is 50/50 bacon burgers. And two. I’m 8 years old and live in Springfield, PA. Actually, three things. I like legos. Do you?

  • Karen

    All good information. My 8 yr old son also doesn’t eat treats brought in by teachers or classmates. We’ve sent in other replacement items, but now, knowing that they last a long time, we will now by these cookies for him to keep at school like you do. Thank you.

  • justlove

    Hi Cole!
    I live in Australia and think you and your parents are great for helping us all make good decisions about the food we eat! Thanks for reviewing Caveman Treats, I’ll be sure to see if i can order them here. :D

  • Molly

    Hi Cole, You did a great job. Even though I am a grown up with no kids that live at home anymore, I just may buy some Caveman cookies for me because you made them sound so wonderful. Thank you for your review!

  • Jen

    Great job, buddy! Keep up the great writing and eating!

  • Deanna

    I’m definitely interested in trying these cookies! I may even dabble in making my own version. Thank you for sharing Cole and keep posting. My 8 month paleo baby will soon be a paleo kid so I’m working on developing a repertoire of goodies. Thanks!

    Great job, Cole. I have a new grandson named Finnigan and some day he will like Caveman cookies too. Right now he only drinks his mom’s milk. His parents like to read the “Eat like a Dinosaur” book i got them for Christmas. Keep up the good work, Cole!

  • Jarrie

    Fantastic job Cole!!! I think my daughters will like to try these cookies. My oldest daughter is allergic to corn and my youngest daughter has fructose malabsorption. You are a great role model. Keep up the great work.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jennifer.chase.9277 Jennifer Chase

    Thank you so much for posting this review! I look forward to buying some for my daughter to enjoy. She likes pineapple too so we will try the tropical flavor first.

  • Lindy E.

    Hi Cole – I have a question for you! Do you ever get made fun of at school, or feel left out, when all your friends and classmates are eating other stuff and you are the only one eating something different? I am a mom of 2 boys, and my older son is just a pre-schooler right now, and we are slowly introducing more paleo-friendly snacks and recipes for him, but sometimes I am afraid he will feel left out when he gets older. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks!

    p.s. If it is easier for you to email me, my email is lindye4@yahoo.com. Thanks Cole!

  • Jen A

    Thanks for the great idea :) even my high schooler could use a sweet treat when she can’t eat what they have in class!
