Schar Shortbread Cookies Gluten Free

Schar Shortbread Cookies Gluten Free present as a tidy 7.1 oz bag of European-style shortbread aimed at shoppers who need or prefer gluten-free options but still want a classic tea-time biscuit. On grocery shelves you’ll most often find them in the gluten-free / specialty diet aisle or tucked near other packaged cookies and crispbreads; in some stores they may sit alongside imported European brands or the natural foods section rather than the mainstream cookie bay. They fit into casual occasions — an afternoon tea, a light dessert after brunch, a school lunch or a travel snack — and they travel well for picnics and road trips. Schar’s brand positioning reads premium and specialist: a European, free-from identity aimed at consumers with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and shoppers who equate “gluten-free” with thoughtful ingredient choices. Label claims emphasize certified gluten-free, non-GMO, “made with real honey,” and “no preservatives or lactose,” but the product is not labeled organic. In plain terms the cookies are an industrially produced packaged snack containing refined flours, added syrups, modified starches and emulsifiers. Sensory-wise the cookies are crisp and crumbly with a shortbread, buttery mouthfeel (from the vegetable fat blend including shea and high-oleic sunflower oil), a mild honeyed sweetness and a faint lemon note; they come in a branded plastic pouch that’s convenient for dunking in coffee or packing into a lunchbox. Rituals around these cookies are simple and domestic: a petite plate with afternoon tea, a quick sweet bite between errands, or a familiar comfort for those avoiding gluten.
