What food group is chocolate chip cookies?

Cookies, including chocolate chip cookies, belong to the "sweets" or "dessert" food group. They fall into this group due to their high sugar and fat content, and they are typically consumed as treats or snacks.

The major food groups recommended for a balanced diet are:

1. Fruits

2. Vegetables

3. Grains (whole grains are recommended)

4. Protein (lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, nuts, seeds)

5. Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese)

Chocolate chip cookies do not fall into any of these major food groups as they are not a significant source of essential nutrients. They are primarily enjoyed for their taste and do not provide the same nutritional value as foods from the main food groups.

It's important to consume a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods from all the major food groups to ensure adequate nutrient intake and overall health.
