  • Meringue contains sugar and egg white but almost no fat. This version is roughly 380 kcal per 100 g.
  • The filled cookie combines butter in the dough, oil in the hazelnut filling and cocoa butter in the glaze, taking it above 500 kcal per 100 g.
  • Cookies are calorie-dense—340–500 kcal per 100 g here—so the number in a portion matters as much as the recipe.

Cookies vary widely in diameter and thickness. The table pairs the selected count with a typical gram weight for that cookie.
