Vanilla Wafer

Vanilla Wafer is a small, crisp sweet biscuit commonly used as a snack or in desserts such as layered puddings and pie crusts. It is known for its light vanilla flavor and crunchy texture, and is popular in American baking and packaged-cookie assortments. Nutritionally, Vanilla Wafer is energy-dense at 455kcal per 100g and is primarily a source of refined carbohydrates and added sugars rather than fiber or protein. It provides only modest amounts of micronutrients and contains some saturated fat, so it tends not to be very filling. Because these cookies are typically made from refined flours, added sugars and other processed ingredients, they are considered an ultra-processed snack; enjoying them occasionally is reasonable, but swapping to whole-grain or lower-sugar alternatives will give more fiber and lasting satiety.
