About Waffle cookies

Waffle cookies are a delightful treat that originated from combining the texture of waffles with the portability of a cookie. Popular in European and American cuisines, they are small, flat, and often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or chocolate. Their nutritional profile largely depends on the ingredients but typically includes carbohydrates from flour, fats from butter or oil, and sugars used for sweetness. They contain modest amounts of protein from eggs and some fiber if whole-grain flours are used. Store-bought versions may vary in their nutrient content due to added preservatives and flavorings.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to the carbohydrates from flour and sugar.
• Contains small amounts of protein, which supports muscle repair and immune function.
• May provide trace minerals like calcium and iron if enriched flour or dairy ingredients are used.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, eggs, dairy (if milk or butter is included)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets (if no animal-based gelatin is used)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (due to eggs and butter/milk if present), low-carb or ketogenic diets

Selection and Storage

Store waffle cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag and thaw at room temperature when needed.

Common Questions About Waffle cookies Nutrition

How many calories are in waffle cookies?

The calorie content of waffle cookies depends on the recipe, but on average, one medium-sized waffle cookie contains between 80-120 calories. Homemade or store-bought varieties might differ due to added sugar or butter content.

Are waffle cookies keto-friendly?

Traditional waffle cookies are not keto-friendly due to their high carbohydrate content, often containing 15-25g of net carbs per serving. However, you can make or find low-carb versions using almond flour, coconut flour, and sugar-free sweeteners.

Are there any health concerns with eating waffle cookies?

Waffle cookies are generally high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can contribute to weight gain and spikes in blood sugar levels if consumed excessively. Additionally, they may contain unhealthy fats like trans fats if made with margarine or processed ingredients.

What is the recommended serving size for waffle cookies?

The recommended serving size for waffle cookies is typically 1-2 pieces, which amounts to about 100-200 calories. For balance, pair them with a source of protein or healthy fats to prevent blood sugar spikes.

How do waffle cookies compare to regular cookies?

Waffle cookies are generally lighter and crispier than regular cookies, with a unique texture due to the waffle iron cooking process. However, they may have similar sugar and calorie content depending on the recipe, making portion control important for both types.
