Mini Confetti Crunchy Cookies, 6 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these mini confetti cookies in the gluten-free/snack aisle or near the checkout — a colorful, kid-friendly treat that reads playful and nostalgic (think party cookies and lunchbox surprises) while being marketed as a 'free to eat' alternative. The ingredient list and additives reveal an engineered, shelf-stable crunchy cookie: palm oil shortening, sprinkles with waxes and color extracts, gums and modified starches point to a highly processed texture and formulation rather than a simple homemade biscuit.

Common Questions about Mini Confetti Crunchy Cookies, 6 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a loaded term! These cookies are gluten-free and dairy-free, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. However, they do contain added sugars and aren't particularly high in protein or fiber, so they’re more of an occasional treat rather than a health food.
