Sandwich Cookie

A sandwich cookie is a sweet cookie or wafer that has a creamy filling sandwiched between two cookie layers. The cookie layers are typically made from flour, sugar, oil, and flavorings, while the filling is often made from sugar, oil, and flavorings. They are a popular snack and dessert item.

Manufacturers add sandwich cookies to foods for their sweet taste and texture. They are commonly found in cookies and biscuits, non-alcoholic beverages (often as a flavor or topping), and other frozen desserts. They can be used as a standalone snack or incorporated into other desserts.

Sandwich cookies are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily a source of sugar and refined carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the common ingredients used in sandwich cookies, such as sugar and fats. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption of sandwich cookies.
