What it is
Sugar cookies are a type of baked good made primarily from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, often flavored with vanilla. They are typically flat, round, and have a crisp or chewy texture.
Why it's used
When listed as an ingredient, sugar cookies are often incorporated into other food products to add flavor, texture, and bulk. They are commonly found as pieces or crumbs in ice cream, frozen yogurt, and various snack mixes, providing a sweet, buttery, and sometimes crunchy element.
Health notes
As a baked good, sugar cookies are not regulated by the FDA as a food additive. They typically contain significant amounts of added sugars and fats. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars as part of a healthy eating pattern. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate composite foods like sugar cookies.
Allergen info
Sugar cookies commonly contain major allergens such as wheat (gluten), milk, and eggs.
