About Homemade cookie

Homemade cookies are a baked treat originating from various global cuisines, particularly European and American traditions. Typically made with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and additional flavorings like vanilla or chocolate chips, they offer an enjoyable balance of taste and texture. Depending on the recipe, homemade cookies can be moderately high in carbohydrates and fats, serving as an energy-dense snack. They may provide small quantities of protein, calcium, and iron, although their micronutrient content varies based on added ingredients like nuts, seeds, or whole-grain flours. While a delightful treat, they should be consumed in moderation due to their sugar and calorie content.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, especially if consumed before physical activity.
• Can offer dietary fiber if made with whole-grain flour, aiding digestion.
• Source of trace minerals such as iron and calcium, particularly if fortified or made with nutrient-rich ingredients like almond meal.

Selection and Storage

Store homemade cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze them for longer preservation to maintain freshness and texture.

Using ingredients like whole wheat flour or adding nuts can slightly increase protein content.

Homemade cookies can be a healthier option compared to store-bought ones if made with nutrient-rich ingredients like whole-grain flours, nuts, seeds, or less sugar. However, they are still high in sugar and fat, so should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

What is the recommended serving size for homemade cookies?

A typical serving size for homemade cookies is 1 medium cookie, approximately 30-40 grams, containing around 150-200 calories. To prevent overeating, consider pre-portioning cookies or pairing with a healthier option like fruit or nuts for balance.
