Pros and cons
What we like
- Crunchy, toasted texture designed for dunking
- Lightly sweetened, at 50 calories per cookie per the brand
- Real almonds in the ingredient list
- Short ingredient list built on flour, sugar, eggs and almonds
- Works with coffee or tea
What could be better
- Contains tree nuts (almonds), along with wheat, egg and soy
- Uses artificial colors (Yellow 5 and Yellow 6) and artificial flavoring
- 6.6 oz pack is smaller than the brand's 9 to 12 oz cookie packs
- A crunchy biscotti won't suit anyone who wants a soft cookie
Key features, explained
Toasted biscotti, built for dunking
Almond Toast is a biscotti-style cookie: toasted, crunchy and, in the brand's words, shaped for easy dunking in your coffee or tea. That's the whole idea of the Coffee Treats line, and this pack leans into it. The package directions say so outright: "Dunk in your favorite coffee or tea for an enhanced drinking experience." Through the window you can see long, golden slices flecked with pieces of almond.
Ingredients and almond flavor
The ingredient list is short. Enriched bleached wheat flour, sugar, invert syrup, eggs and almonds lead it, followed by 2% or less of baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, salt, calcium propionate, artificial colors Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, soy lecithin, benzaldehyde, and natural and artificial flavoring. No oil or butter appears on the list. The almond taste comes from the nuts plus flavoring, which is why the package front says "Artificially Flavored Cookies."
Lightly sweet, 50 calories a cookie
Stella D'oro describes Almond Toast as lightly sweetened, and the product notes list 50 calories per biscotti cookie. That's a handy figure if you keep track of snacks through the day. The brand's own pitch is simple: almond toast and coffee as the best way to start your day. It fits a morning routine better than a dessert plate.
Allergens and pack size
The allergen statement reads "Contains: Wheat, Tree Nuts (Almonds), Egg, Soy." With almonds in the dough, this one isn't for anyone with a tree nut allergy. Each pack holds 6.6 oz of these Coffee Treats. Like the rest of the range, it comes from a brand that started as a small Italian bakery in New York City in 1930 and built its name partly on biscotti.
