Sandwich Cookies

Sandwich cookies are a type of cookie made from two wafers, typically chocolate-flavored, with a sweet, creamy filling in between. When used as an ingredient, they are often crushed or broken into pieces. They are a manufactured food product.

Manufacturers add sandwich cookies to other food products, most commonly ice cream and frozen desserts, to provide flavor, texture, and visual appeal. They contribute a sweet taste and a crunchy or chewy element.

Sandwich cookies are a processed food product that typically contains added sugars and saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars and suggest limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a food product, sandwich cookies are subject to general food safety regulations by the FDA. They are not evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
