What's the actual texture and sweetness like, compared to a regular cookie?

The texture is typically denser, softer, and less crispy than a standard sugary cookie due to its high protein and fiber content. It won't have the light, crumbly melt-in-your-mouth feel of a traditional butter cookie. The moisture from ingredients like whey protein and erythritol also contributes to a softer, sometimes slightly chewy consistency that firms up if stored in a cool, dry place.

For sweetness, erythritol and steviol glycosides (stevia) provide most of the sweet taste without the added sugar. The result is a clean sweetness that doesn't linger heavily, but the intensity can feel different from sugar. Some people notice a very slight cooling sensation from erythritol, or a subtle aftertaste from stevia, which varies by individual sensitivity. If you are new to these sweeteners, trying one cookie first is sensible to see how you perceive the flavor. The 'Red Velvet' taste itself is a dessert-like profile, aiming to mimic the cocoa and vanilla notes associated with the classic cake.
