Fat
There are 8 grams of total fat in two butter crisp cookies. Be sure to review the nutrition facts label below. The 8g of total fat includes 5 grams of saturated fat. That’s equivalent to 25% of the recommended value for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Sugars
The fact that crispy butter flavored cookies have a few grams of sugars is not a surprise. What I would like to point out, however, is that of the 10 grams of total sugars in two cookies, all 10 grams are Added Sugars.
Added Sugars
Added sugars are just that – sugars such as table sugar or corn syrup – that is added to a recipe or as a final part of preparing food. It’s distinguished from natural sugars that are found organically in food. For example, the lactose in milk is considered a natural sugar.
Added Sugars as % of Daily Value
To put this into context, the FDA recommends individuals consume less than 10% of total calories from Added Sugars.
So if you consume 2,000 calories daily, the FDA recommends limiting Added Sugars to 50 grams, which equals 200 calories (10% of 2,000 calories). Likewise, if you normally consume 1,500 calories daily, the recommended limit would be 37.5 grams of Added Sugars (150 calories).
Nutrition Facts
Total Sugars include 10g of Added Sugars.

What is Soy Lecithin?
Lecithin is a food additive generally used as an emulsifier in the production of food. A naturally occurring fat, it is known to boost metabolism.
Soy Lecithin is extracted from soybeans and composed of choline, fatty acids and phospholipids. When used as an emulsifier, soy lecithin helps foods combine. Meaning, it’s used to prevent ingredients in a food item from separating. For example, creating a homogeneous mixture of oils and water.
One of the most commonly used food emulsifiers is soy lecithin. Alternative sources include sunflower, egg yolk, guar gum, xanthan gum, and gelatin.
You will find soy lecithin (and other emulsifiers) in mayonnaise, salad dressings, chocolate, soups, sauces, and baked goods, among other processed foods.
