American-style chocolate chip cookies are energy-dense sweet biscuits made from butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and chocolate chips. They are high in fat (predominantly saturated from butter) and sugar, and provide modest protein from eggs and flour. A typical cookie (20–30g) contributes around 100–140 kcal. They offer little nutritional benefit beyond energy.
Best enjoyed as an occasional treat in the context of a balanced diet. Home-baked versions allow control over sugar and fat content — substituting some butter with nut butter or using dark chocolate chips increases the nutritional profile modestly.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
