The struggle to find a cookie that won’t make you feel like you are committing gluttony is real. Trust us, we get it.

As Father S. astutely observed, these cookies are “big enough to share,” meaning you can easily split them up into three servings to be enjoyed over the course of a few sittings. Breaking up a Nunbelievable oatmeal raisin cookie into thirds leaves you with three delicious servings that are only 110 calories each – that’s about the same as a large apple! 

However, a serving of one of nunbelieveable’s oatmeal raisin cookies has even less sugar than the average apple, which clocks in at about 19 grams of the sweet stuff. In contrast, a third of a Nunbelievable oatmeal raisin cookie has just ten grams of sugar total, only six of which are added in. The rest is just natural sugar from the cookie’s wholesome ingredients. Can I get anAmen?
