Lambertz Chocolate Cookies — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Lambertz Chocolate Cookies by Lambertz ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A premium-positioned chocolate cookie built on the hyper-palatable triad: refined wheat flour, sugar as the #2 ingredient, and palm/coconut shortening, with a second sweetener hiding in the candied peel.

Why this verdict

• Hyper-palatable triad: refined flour + sugar + palm/coconut shortening
• Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of the chocolate
• Two sweetener sources (sugar plus glucose-fructose in the candied peel)
• Palm and coconut shortening pile on saturated fat
• NOVA 4 ultra-processed despite the premium framing

Ingredients (10)

• UNBLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR (moderate) — Refined flour used to thicken the sauce; low fiber, raises the carb load.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Vegetable shortenings (palm oil, coconut oil) (concerning) — Refined tropical fats, very high in saturated fat; the engineered fat that makes the cookie melt in your mouth.
• CHOCOLATE LIQUOR (safe) — Ground cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The actual cocoa; brings flavonoids and real chocolate flavor.
• Cocoa Butter (moderate) — Natural cocoa fat; fine in small amounts but adds to a heavy saturated-fat load.
• NONFAT DRY MILK (safe) — Reconstituted milk solids; benign filler.
• Whey Powder (from Milk) (safe) — Dairy protein byproduct; neutral filler.
• HAZELNUTS (safe) — A genuine whole-food source of healthy fats — but a minority ingredient here, behind sugar and oil.
• Low fat cocoa powder (processed with alkali) (moderate) — Dutched cocoa; flavor is fine but alkalizing strips much of the flavanol benefit.
• Candied orange peel (orange peel, glucose-fructose) (concerning) — Sugar-soaked peel carrying a second sweetener, glucose-fructose syrup, into the formula.
