No idea what these are called. Also *sighs* some ranting.

I don't buy almond milk... substitute milk with a dash of almond extract?
Really don't care if there's flour or eggs in them. *shrugs* They're snackable and the fruits have vitamins and there's the oats.
Gluten free isn't a consideration since it's not a problem for me (or many other people). *sighs* It's just the next fad food catch phrase for most people. *grins* Guess they can't say 'nut free' since there's the almond milk which if you're allergic really is a big deal involving the ER in the immediate future after consumption.

Now let's talk about Colorado where marijuana is being added to all sorts of things you wouldn't think about; drinks, candy, cookies, gum, lip gloss, granola. Things people don't think about young children needing to be protected from but if they can't read or it's out of the packaging....

can you just substitute real milk for the almond milk in the cookies? for those of us who like oatmeal-raisin cookies but who don't drink almond milk.

i think my favorite part of that nyt article was the guy saying "for crying out loud, secure your weed". hee. i'm not surprised that pot is sneaking into candy and chocolate and all kinds of things that people can eat, tho. i mean, it's legal now, people can do what they want with it and are no doubt trying to figure out how to make the most money from it.

Don't know about substituting. There was no name for this either so no idea where to find that out.
I never bought almond milk. If the almond flavoring needs to be in there then I might try a couple drops of extract but I'll use dairy milk instead of almond milk.

Remember the whole we have to do something so children aren't misled into drinking or eating things like cleaning products that looked like food products? This is real close to that. Medication that looks like candy shouldn't be left around for unwary consumers, esp. if they're children.
But yeah, I can see where people are going to try to cash in on the new you can have this product now. It's what all the cool kids are doing and new products need to get a foothold in the market.
