Chocolate Chunk Cookies — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Chocolate Chunk Cookies by Aleias TREAT — score 43/90.
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 (caution) — First ingredient. Each serving is a straight shot of added sugar with no redeeming nutrition.
- Tapioca Flour (moderate) — Refined starch binder.
- Whole grain sorghum flour (safe) — Actual whole grain — brings some fiber and is the better flour here
- BUTTER (safe) — Real dairy butter, though a minor part of the fat.
- eggs (safe) — Genuine brioche enrichment; a real ingredient doing real work.
- cocoa powder (safe) — Additional cocoa solids for depth.
- Cream of Tartar (safe) — Simple leavening acid, harmless in this amount
- Chocolate extract (safe) — Flavoring extract, used in tiny amounts
- Baking Soda (safe) — A basic leavening agent. Completely standard.
- Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
- Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
