Total Sugars
As mentioned above, carbohydrates deliver half of the total calories these cookies. What I think you should know is that half of those carbohdyrates are added sugars. Specifically, there are 22 grams of carbs per serving, including 11 grams of Added Sugars.
Added Sugars
Those 11 grams of Added Sugars make up about 45 calories, 25% of the total calories per serving.
The FDA recommends no more than 10% of total calories from added sugars. For example, if I eat 2,000 calories, I would limit added sugars to 200 calories. That’s 50 grams. If I eat three Milano Dark Chocolate cookies that contain 11g, that’s 22% of the recommended amount for an entire day.

Milano Dark Chocolate Ingredients
There are fewer than a dozen main ingredients in these cookies. Here is the list of ingredients in Pepperidge Farm Milano Dark Chocolate cookies.
Enriched Wheat Flour, Semi Sweet Chocolate, Sugar, Vegetable Oils (palm and/or soybean and hydrogenated soybean), Eggs, Cornstarch, Salt, Baking Soda, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors, and Nonfat Milk.
What is Enriched Flour?
During the production of certain foods such as breads and other baked goods, certain minerals and natural vitamins are stripped away to improve texture or shelf life. For example, the bran and the germ are extracted from the wheat. In an effort to improve the nutritional value, food producers add back vitamins and minerals.
Accordingly, Enriched Flour typically contains Thiamine Mononitrate (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), and Folic Acid (B9).
Foods that typically contain Enriched Flour include bread, brownies, cake, cookies, crackers, donuts, pasta, and pizza.
