A 10 oz bag that mixes mini Margherite, marble, chocolate and iced citrus cookies. Here's how this Stella D'oro assortment stacks up for entertaining and everyday coffee breaks.
Quick verdict
Lady Stella is Stella D'oro's grab bag: mini chocolate and vanilla flavored Margherite, marble cookies, chocolate cookies and citrus cookies with icing and sprinkles, all in one 10 oz bag. It's the simplest way to put out a varied cookie plate without opening five packages. The colorful sprinkles do bring a long list of artificial colors, which some households will want to avoid.
Pros and cons

- Mix of chocolate, vanilla flavored, marble and iced citrus cookies
- Mini Margherite offer a taste of another Stella D'oro classic
- 10 oz bag is meant for sharing, per the brand

Key features, explained
What's in the assortment
Stella D'oro lists five cookies in every Lady Stella bag: Mini Chocolate Margherite, Mini Vanilla Flavored Margherite, Marble cookies, Chocolate cookies, and Citrus cookies with icing and sprinkles. That spread covers plain, chocolate and frosted in one go. The package window shows the mix clearly, with pink-iced, sprinkle-topped pieces next to dark chocolate shapes and golden vanilla flavored ones. No other Stella D'oro pack we cover mixes as many styles in one bag.
Built for entertaining
The brand pitches Lady Stella as perfect for entertaining, and that's where an assortment earns its keep. Instead of buying several packs and arranging them, you open one bag and the plate already has color and contrast. Stella D'oro says the 10 oz bag provides enough to share with friends and family. It also works the quieter way: a few pieces next to your favorite cup of coffee, which is how the brand positions most of its range.
Ingredients and colors
Because this bag mixes several recipes, the ingredient list runs longer than on Stella D'oro's single-style packs. The base is enriched wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil (palm and/or soybean), cocoa powder, whole eggs and egg yolks, with soy flour and modified soy protein. The sugar sprinkles bring Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and Blue 1, plus confectioner's glaze and carnauba wax. The cookies add Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 3, caramel color and titanium dioxide. Calcium propionate is the preservative, and the allergen statement reads "Contains: Wheat, Egg, Soy."
Where it fits in the Stella D'oro range
Stella D'oro began in 1930 as a small Italian bakery in New York City and grew into a household name on Italian-style cookies, breakfast treats and biscotti. Lady Stella is the sampler of that world, with the brand's Margherite appearing here in mini form next to frosted and marble cookies. If you already know you love one particular cookie, a dedicated pack gives you more of it. If you're feeding a crowd with mixed tastes, the assortment is the better fit.
