About Crushed cookies

Crushed cookies are finely broken pieces of baked cookie dough, which may originate from various cuisines, with recipes historically stemming from European, Middle Eastern, and American culinary traditions. Primarily used as a topping or base for desserts like cheesecakes and puddings, crushed cookies are made from flour, sugar, butter, and flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate, depending on the cookie type. Nutritionally, crushed cookies are high in carbohydrates due to their sugar and flour content, and they contain fats from butter or other oils. They are calorie-dense and typically contain minimal amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins, depending on the recipe and ingredients used.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content, which can support short-term physical activity.
• Contains small amounts of calcium if made with enriched flour or dairy-based ingredients like milk or butter.
• May supply small quantities of iron if enriched wheat flour is used in preparation.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from wheat), dairy, eggs, tree nuts (if included in the recipe)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if no gelatin or animal-derived additives are present)

Not suitable for: Vegan (due to dairy or eggs in traditional recipes), gluten-free (unless specialty gluten-free cookies are used), nut-free (if nuts are present in the recipe)

Selection and Storage

Store crushed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain freshness and avoid moisture absorption. For longer storage, keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
