What You Should Know

You'll find these in the cookie aisle or the gluten-free section — a packaged snap cookie that's easy to grab for coffee breaks, lunchboxes, or a pantry stash. They feel nostalgic and comforting like a classic ginger snap, but the crisp, uniform texture and long shelf life come from refined oils, isolated starches and emulsifiers, which are hallmarks of industrially formulated snacks.
