Market Pantry Gingerbread Mini Frosted Sugar Cookies are pre-frosted mini gingerbread cookies designed as a convenient snack or dessert option.
The nutrition facts reveal that these cookies contain 130 calories each, with a high content of saturated fat (2g) and sugar (13g), contributing to their energy-dense nature. While they provide some essential nutrients like calcium (0mg) and iron (0.36mg), the lack of fiber and protein makes them less nutritious.
Analyzing the ingredients, these cookies are classified as highly processed due to the presence of artificial flavors, colors (like red 40, yellow 5), preservatives such as calcium disodium EDTA, and stabilizers like modified food starch and carrageenan. These elements indicate extensive processing to enhance shelf life and appeal.
Given their high sugar content and lack of nutritional benefits, a healthier alternative would be whole grain cookies or homemade versions made with brown sugar and natural ingredients like butter instead of margarine.
