Sandies Pecan Shortbread, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

I have been eating these cookies most of my life (and I'm no youngster). These cookies have changed. I bought a package of them today and took them back to the grocery store, thinking that something was wrong with them. They tasted funny and seemed kind of stale. They gave me a different package which solved the stale problem. However, the taste is just not good. I don't know what Keebler has done to these cookies but I'm done buying them. They are just flat out not as good as they used to be.

The price was great. They were packaged properly with very little damage I see now. This is my first time trying these and I think they are great. The expiration date is well into next year. They won't last that long before they are eaten I guarantee you. I ordered more of them.

I just bought a package of Keebler Sandies hoping to dig into that nostalgic taste I remembered from years back. Ugh! These cookies taste awful and kind of stale, although the expiration date is good. Last week I was sick and my spouse bought me a box of the Keebler Zesta crackers. They tasted stale and flat. Gone is the unique taste. Rather, now they taste like Premium crackers. I don't know what Keebler has done with at least these 2 products, but I won't buy Keebler anymore. Who know WHAT ingredients are in these now, but they're gross.

these are not the 'Sandies' I used to know and love. I thought it was just me, but then I read all the other reviews and felt I had to chime in.Why do companies have to mess with a good thing? If it comes to cutting the quality or upping the price a bit, I'd be glad to pay a little more.

When I was growing up, my mother used to buy these cookies for us. They were crunchy, light and had a great flavor. I have recently bought a bag of thes cookies and they are absolutely terrible. How disappointing!! They are tasteless, greasy and dense. I will not buy again!!!!!!

As of Nov 2007, each 16 gram serving contains 2 grams of trans fat! That is 1/8th trans-fat by weight, and more than 1/8 by calories!!! (Please consult the packaging for more current information, many manufacturors are removing trans-fat. Beware: they may legally claim 0 grams of trans fat when they have half a gram PER SERVING, which is very significant for small serving sizes. So you should look for the words "partially hydroginated" in the ingredient list. If you see "partially hydrogenated" then you know the product has artificial trans fat and you should NOT buy it.)Don't take my word for it that this is bad, because here are some quotations from the survey articleMozaffarian et al "Trans Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease,"The New England Journal of Medicine, volume 354,pages 1601-1613 (2006).Here are a few quotations from this article:"given the 1.2 million annual myocardial infarctions and deaths from CHD ["coronary heart disease"] in the United States, near-elimination of industrially produced trans fats might avert between 72,000 (6 percent) and 228,000 (19 percent) CHD events [i.e. "heart attacks"] each year. These estimates are based on the replacement of trans fats with carbohydrates. In practice, however, trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils would most commonly be replaced with unhydrogenated (cis) unsaturated fats,6 which may have additional potential benefits as compared with carbohydrates. If such additional potential benefit is considered, greater proportions of CHD events (12 to 22 percent) might be averted."Note that the disproportionate percentage of heart disease attributable to trans-fat is astonishing, since the authors point on on the first page that trans-fat makes up only a tiny proportion of the american diet:"The average consumption of industrially produced trans fatty acids in the United States is 2 to 3 percent of total calories consumed."They conclude"On the basis of evidence from in vitro experimental studies, dietary trials, and prospective observational studies, the consumption of trans fatty acids from partially hydrogenated oils provides no apparent nutritional benefit and has considerable potential for harm."Professor Willett (one of the co-authors of the above article) is the chairman of Harvard's nutrition department, the author of the medical school textbook "nutritional epidemiology", and the most-cited author in his field. He has also written about trans-fat for a general audience in his book "Eat, Drink, and be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide for Healthy Eating."

I have loved Pecan Sandies for many years. Since late 2008, they didn't seem the same - either I changed or they did. My family agreed there was something wrong, we exchanged some at the store, bought a few weeks later from another store... they're different. They used to be kind of buttery soft and 'sandy,' but now they're cruncy hard and the flavor tastes like something was left out. I was hoping it was a bad batch, but now it seems like my favorite cookie is no more.

These cookies are unbelievably good. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea; perfect alone.I stopped buying them because I just could not stop eating them. If I could buy them in packs of three or four, then I could have them in the house again.
