Challenge
Chocolate chip cookies are a global favourite, but today’s health-conscious consumers are raising the bar, expecting familiar treats to align with trends like sugar reduction, added nutrition or even functional benefits. Reduced-sugar formulations often risk leaving a lingering aftertaste, dryness, or loss of mouthfeel, while adding fibre can affect dough handling and bake stability.
Azelis’s solution
We have developed a reduced-sugar, high-fibre chocolate chip cookie that delivers indulgence without compromise. By combining NutraSweet™ Natural for clean, natural sweetness with prebiotic fibre, the cookie achieves a healthy range of under 1.5 g sugar per serving and a boost of gut-friendly fibre. The prebiotic fibre, Fossence® P95 also adds to achieving a chocolate cookie that also supports and improves gut health at the same time, without sacrificing the overall quality, taste and texture of a classic chocolate chip cookie.
