Chips Ahoy!

Sugar content & low-sugar alternatives for kids

Chips Ahoy! is Nabisco's chocolate chip cookie — Original, Chewy, Big Chewy, and a long tail of filled and flavored spinoffs. We reviewed 120 Chips Ahoy! variants: a three-cookie serving of Original carries 11g of added sugar, and the Chewy, Big Chewy, and fudge-filled versions run higher. 108 of the 120 land in our lowest sugar tier. The honest problem isn't any single cookie — it's that one labeled serving spends roughly half a young kid's daily added-sugar budget, and three cookies is not where most kids stop.
