ESTIMATED FITNESS TIME TO BURN 130 CALORIES
Calories in Each Cookie
With 130 calories in each serving and three cookies per serving, there are just over 43 calories in a single cookie.
Total Sugars
As a consumer, one of the things to review on the nutrition facts label is amount of sugars per serving. Many (not all) brands report a separate line item with Added Sugars.
The added sugars refer to the additional sugars included in the recipe when the food is produced. That’s distinct from natural sugars, which are found naturally in foods (e.g., lactose in dairy milk).
Added Sugars
Pepperidge Farm Apricot Raspberry Cookies contain 10 grams of Added Sugars per serving. That is high.
About 30% of the total 130 calories are derived from added sugars.
SUMMARY OF ADDED SUGARS PER SERVING
Considering the product under review is a package of cookies, it’s no surprise to see added sugars. For a couple comparison points, check the added sugars in a Dunkin’ Chocolate Frosted Donut or Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats.
Total Fat
It’s also worth pointing out that three cookies contain nearly 5 grams of total fat, including 2.5 grams of saturated fat.
Saturated Fat
According to the U.S. FDA, eating too much saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of developing adverse health conditions.
The % daily value on a product’s nutrition facts label can be helpful guide for choosing foods and maintaining a balanced diet.
If one part of a meal contains a high %DV of saturated fat or sodium, for example, an overall diet can be balanced by selecting another food with a low %DV of those same nutrients.

Price
I went to Publix this afternoon to check the current price of the Pepperidge Farm Verona style cookies. The Apricot Raspberry flavor comes in a 6.75 ounce package with 18 cookies per container.
The current price is $5.09 per package. That works out to about $0.28 per cookie.
