The beloved cocoa and creme sandwich cookies will be available in two new gluten-free varieties next year, the brand announced Monday.

Both gluten-free options will hit shelves in January.

Fans of the classic cookies erupted with excitement on Twitter.

“Best thing to ever happen,” one user wrote.

“As someone with Celiac, I couldn’t be happier right now,” another said.
