Barilla Pan Di Stelle Cookie - How Many Calories?

How many calories are in a Pan di Stelle cookie?

The current Italian manufacturer panel for Pan di Stelle Biscotto gives 485 calories per 100 g. One reference cookie weighs 7.8 g and provides about 38 calories. Two cookies, 15.6 g, provide about 76 calories; three, 23.4 g, provide approximately 113 calories.

Three cookies contain 5.62 g sugars, 4.91 g fat, 1.73 g saturated fat, 1.83 g protein and 0.98 g fiber. These amounts are calculated from the 100 g panel; the manufacturer's per-cookie figures may be rounded separately. Check your own pack for different sizes or market-specific recipes. The three-cookie example for Annas Orange Thins weighs 13.5 g, compared with 23.4 g here. The same cookie count does not mean the same weight across products.

Ingredients and allergens

The current recipe includes wheat flour, sugar, sunflower oil, butter and 7% fresh milk. It lists cocoa at 3.6%, chocolate at 3.5%, sugar pieces at 2% and hazelnuts at 0.8%.

Ingredients include wheat, milk, egg, soy and hazelnuts. The manufacturer also warns of possible traces of other nuts, mustard and sesame. The biscuits should therefore not be treated as gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan. Pan di Stelle spread, cake and ice cream are separate products. The distinction between lactose-free and dairy-free matters for milk allergy; milk and butter are ingredients in these cookies.

With milk or in a dessert base

Three cookies contribute about 113 calories when eaten with milk; add the nutrients for the actual milk type and amount. The manufacturer's breakfast example also includes milk and almonds, so its total is not the calories in the cookies alone.

Weigh biscuits before using them in a dessert base. Dividing 100 g equally among eight portions contributes about 61 calories and 3 g sugars per portion from biscuits alone. Butter, cream and other ingredients are additional. Unequal portions receive different amounts.

Source and recipe differences

The figures come from the manufacturer's Pan di Stelle Biscotto page. They have not been blended with an older 6%-milk recipe or a different pack's nutrition panel. Calcium, iron, cholesterol and vitamins are unreported here and remain unknown; milk in the ingredient list does not provide a measured calcium amount.
