This is a better-than-average packaged cookie, made with nutrient-dense ingredients like almond and flax flour instead of refined wheat flour. However, it's still a treat with significant sugar content (7g added sugar per 29g serving).
Benefits:
- The nut & seed flour base provides some nutritional value (healthy fats, protein, minerals) unlike typical refined flour cookies
- Clean ingredient list without artificial additives, preservatives or problematic oils
Concerns:
- High sugar-to-fiber ratio (8g sugar to 1g fiber)
- Small serving size (29g = 4 cookies) could lead to overconsumption
- Relatively high in saturated fat (3.5g) from palm shortening, though from a better quality source
If you're buying cookies, this is one of the better packaged options due to its real-food ingredients. However, treat it as an occasional sweet - the 150 calories per serving are still mostly from sugar and fats. For a more nutritious sweet snack, consider date-based treats or dark chocolate that have better nutrient density. If buying these, pre-portion into single servings to avoid mindless eating, as the small serving size can be deceptive.
