About Tollhouse cookie
Tollhouse cookies are a classic American dessert originating from the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, in the 1930s. They are traditionally made with ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. A standard Tollhouse cookie contains carbohydrates, fats, and some proteins, offering approximately 80-100 calories per cookie depending on size and recipe variations. While primarily enjoyed as a treat, they can also provide small amounts of calcium, iron, and magnesium from the chocolate and other ingredients. However, they are high in sugar and saturated fats, making them a food best enjoyed in moderation.

- Offers small quantities of magnesium from chocolate, which benefits muscle and nerve function.
Dietary Considerations
