GH taste tests gluten-free biscuits

Here at Good Housekeeping we love a biscuit, but for those with gluten intolerances, buying them can be tricky. So we decided to taste-test a number of gluten-free varieties and let you know which are our favourites.

Doves Farm Organic gluten-free Stem Ginger Cookies

These stem ginger cookies from Doves Farm taste just as you would expect a good ginger biscuit to: crisp, crunchy and with just the right amount of ginger and spice. They're ideal for dunking in your tea, or try whipping up a cheesecake with these as your base.

Available from Sainsbury's and Ocado, £1.95

Sainsbury's Freefrom chocolate chip cookies

We really liked these cookies from Sainsbury's, which have a generous amount of chocolate and a decent crunch. Enjoy with a cup of coffee in the afternoon or a glass of milk.

Available from Sainsbury's, £1.35

Making a change from the regular flavours of gluten-free biscuits, these peanut cookies from Mrs Crimble's are delicious and, with a good scattering of peanuts, you're guaranteed lots of peanut flavour and texture. They're crying out to be dunked into a good cup of tea.

Available from Tesco and Sainsbury's, £1.89

Waitrose Love Life gluten-free oat & raisin cookies

Waitrose has managed to create a gluten-free biscuit that's a little softer in texture than the others. There's a hint of spice, a good quantity of raisins, and they have a little chew, which we like.

Available from Waitrose, £2.10
