How much fat is in a cookie?

Answer 1

It depends on the flour.

White flour is fat-free, though whole grain flour does have fat, about 1.8% by weight. That's because a cereal grain is made up of three parts -- bran, which is packed with fiber and some fat, germ, which contains most of the fat as well as many nutrients, and endosperm, which is nearly all starch and protein.

In general, white flour is made up of just the endosperm, so it is fat-free. Whole-grain flours, because they contain the bran and germ as well as the endosperm, also contain some amount of fat, and thus they can spoil.

Note that whole-grain flours, even though they contain a small percentage of fat, are still healthier eating; there's a lot of nutrition in the germ, bran is a good source of fiber, and even much of the fat comes in 'good' forms like omega fatty acids.

Answer 2

it depends on the type of cookie, size of cookie, ingredients of the cookie, and stuff like that... there isn't any specific amount because every cookie is different.

Answer 3

Flour is made from wheat which is an all natural plant product, so as far as I'm aware, flour is fat-free.
