Total Sugars
We are talking about cookies here so it’s no surprise that a significant portion of the carbohydrates are sugars. Specifically, one serving contains 12 grams of total sugars.
Added Sugars
What I want to point out for you is that all of the sugars are added sugars. There are 12 grams of Added Sugars in two cookies. Added sugars are those that are added during food production and may include, for example, table sugar, syrups, honey, or dextrose, among others.
The distinction is that natural sugars occur naturally in foods such as milk, fruits, and vegetables.
