What You Should Know

You'd find these brightly speckled mini cookies in the gluten-free or snack aisle — an easy grab for lunchboxes, movie nights, or a playful, nostalgic treat. The colorful sprinkles, palm oil shortening and a long list of gums and modified starches point to a crunchy, shelf-stable, industrially produced cookie and hint at ultra-processed manufacturing rather than a simple baked-from-scratch 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.
