What it is

Crushed chocolate cookies are pieces of baked goods made from ingredients like flour, sugar, cocoa, and fat. They are prepared by baking a cookie dough and then breaking the finished cookies into smaller fragments.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add crushed chocolate cookies to provide flavor, texture, and visual appeal to various food products. They are commonly used in desserts like ice cream, frozen yogurt, and as toppings or inclusions in snack mixes.

Health notes

As a composite food ingredient, crushed chocolate cookies are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed as part of a typical diet. Their nutritional impact depends on the overall composition of the cookies, which often includes added sugars and saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. They also advise keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate individual food additives rather than composite food ingredients like crushed chocolate cookies.

Allergen info

Crushed chocolate cookies commonly contain major allergens such as wheat (gluten), milk, and soy. Some varieties may also contain eggs or tree nuts.
