About Cookie thins

Cookie thins are delicate, crisp cookies often made by thinning traditional cookie dough and baking until crunchy. Originating from European baking traditions, these cookies are enjoyed globally as a light dessert or snack, often paired with tea or coffee. Typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, cookie thins are calorie-dense and offer small amounts of macronutrients like carbohydrates and fats. However, they are generally low in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Variations may include spices, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor and texture, increasing their nutrient profile slightly. Despite their modest nutritional contribution, they are a popular indulgence for their satisfying crunch and rich taste.

Health Benefits

• Cookie thins provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, which can help temporarily boost stamina.
• If made with nuts or seeds, they can offer small amounts of healthy fats and vitamin E, supporting skin and heart health.
• Whole-grain or oat-based versions may contain minor dietary fiber, beneficial for digestion.
