Chocolate Chunk Cookies — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Chocolate Chunk Cookies by Aleias TREAT — score 45/90.
An indulgent cookie with a genuinely clean, short ingredient list — real butter, eggs, sorghum flour and actual chocolate, no artificial junk. It's still sugar and butter at heart, so it's a treat, not health food.
Why this verdict
- Cane sugar is the #2 ingredient, plus more sugar in the chocolate chunks — this spikes blood sugar
- Butter and milkfat make it fat-heavy and calorie-dense
- Short, clean list with real butter, eggs and chocolate — no artificial additives
- Whole grain sorghum flour is a small redeeming whole-food element
- Bottom line: a genuine indulgence, fine occasionally, not an everyday food
Ingredients (12)
- Chocolate chunk (sugar, cocoa, cocoa butter, milkfat, soy lecithin, vanilla) (moderate) — Real chocolate but built on sugar — adds sweetness and saturated fat
- Pure cane sugar (moderate) — Added sugar and the #2 ingredient; spikes blood sugar and is the main reason this is a treat, not a health drink.
- Tapioca Flour (moderate) — Refined starch used as a gluten-free base; fast-digesting carbohydrate
- Whole grain sorghum flour (safe) — Actual whole grain — brings some fiber and is the better flour here
- BUTTER (moderate) — Real dairy fat; fine in small amounts but saturated.
- eggs (safe) — A real whole-food binder with protein.
- cocoa powder (safe) — The actual chocolate, but only ~4.5% of the cookie.
- Cream of Tartar (safe) — Simple leavening acid, harmless in this amount
- Chocolate extract (safe) — Flavoring extract, used in tiny amounts
- Baking Soda (safe) — Standard leavening agent.
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
- Soy Lecithin (moderate) — Common emulsifier in the brownie; mild but adds to the additive pile.
