About Sugar m and m cookie
The Sugar M&M Cookie is a sweet, baked dessert originating from Western cuisine, particularly popular in the United States. These cookies combine a traditional sugar cookie base with colorful candy-coated chocolate pieces (M&M's), offering a soft and chewy texture with bursts of chocolate flavor. Nutritionally, they are calorie-dense with high sugar and fat content due to ingredients like butter, sugar, and M&M's. On average, a typical cookie (about 2.5 inches in diameter) contains approximately 150-200 calories, 8-10 grams of fat, and 15-20 grams of sugar, with minimal protein and fiber content. While not nutrient-rich, the cookies provide energy from carbohydrates and fats, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content from sugar and flour.
- Contains small amounts of calcium and trace minerals like iron from enriched flour used in the cookie base.
- The M&M's chocolate provides a minor amount of antioxidants due to cocoa content, although not significant.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
