Yes, cookies are not the most healthy thing, but there are better and worse ones. It is not just even about it containing some sugar. Why replace the spices that made a traditional cookie special, with more sugar? What is distinctive about sugar?

Biscoff is a highly spiced cookie that's less sweet than most American cookies.

And sugar is special because it's essentially a drug that our brains are programmed to seek out and eat more of.
