Kitchen Sink Cookie — Panera Bread

Is the Kitchen Sink Cookie a good deal?

At a typical $4.99, the Kitchen Sink Cookie at Panera Bread gives you 800 calories and 9g of protein — 1.8g of protein and 160 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 45/100, which ranks it #12 of the 53 dessert items we've priced across every chain (the typical dessert item returns about 1.5g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — it carries a lot of sugar (62g), and saturated fat is steep (24g). If you want more for your money in the same category, Twisted Churro at Costco Food Court scores higher (85/100 value, $1.49).
