What You Should Know

You’d find this boxed pack of gluten-free Confetti Cookies in the specialty or gluten-free snack aisle, or grabbed as an easy treat for lunchboxes or parties. The colourful sprinkles and sweet cookie batter give a nostalgic, birthday-cake vibe, but the long ingredient list (shortening, multiple added sugars, maltodextrin, modified celluloses, emulsifiers and gums) points to ultra-processed formulation engineered for a soft-chewy texture, sweetness and shelf stability.

Common Questions about Confetti Cookies, 6 OZ

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! These cookies are gluten-free and dairy-free, which is great if you have dietary restrictions. However, they do contain some sugar and are not high in protein or fiber, so they're more of an occasional treat than a health food.
