Already a massive fan, I packed my cookies last weekend thinking they’d be a nice little trail snack for a 15-hour foot race.
They became one of the highlights of my first 100km ultra. I could easily grab a handful and snack while on the go while hiking, walking, running my way to the finish.
Hour after hour of gels, electrolytes, and sports nutrition can leave you craving something that tastes like… actual food. Every time I reached for one of these cookies, it felt like a tiny morale boost. Butter, caramel, a touch of salt. Real ingredients. First, it’s the crunch, then it’s the perfect hit of salt and butter that never gets old.
By hour 12, I wasn’t dreaming about burgers or pizza. I was looking forward to my next cookie.
Did these cookies carry me across the finish line? Of course not. Months of training did that. But they made the journey a whole lot more enjoyable.
I’m not convinced that these cookies didn’t propel me to exceed my goals and end up on the podium.
I think that I just found my new, go-to run fuel!
