Milano Sugar Free Cookies

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Mar 31, 2006

Milano cookies are just plain excellent. Fortunately for me, God did not bless me with a sweet tooth, but if he did, Milano cookies would be my weakness. Milano Distinctive Cookies have 180 calories 10 grams of fat, and 11 grams of sugars for a 3 cookie serving size. Milano Sugar Free Cookies have 170 calories, 9 grams of fat, no sugars but 6 grams of sugar alcohols and a little added sucralose [brand name: Splenda] per serving (3 cookies). Not much difference really, except for the sugars, but still a lot of fat from just 3 cookies. I think this is one case where sugar free doesn't mean a whole lot!

The taste is still excellent in the sugar free version. All that fat, 13% of the recommended daily amount, gives the cookie a soft but crisp crunch. The chocolate is more like a thin layer - not very sweet, but there is that distinct chocolate taste. One package has 12 cookies and costs about $3.00. If you can put just one cookie in with your lunch, then it's not a bad way to satisfy a sweet tooth. If you're like me, and have a severe lack of will power, and can't keep the bag in the house without eating the entire thing in 2 days, then I say, leave it alone!
