For some reason, don't ask me why, on the mainland today we bought a bag of Chips Ahoy! "Real Chocolate Chip Cookies." Ingredients: Enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate {vitamin B1}, riboflavin {vitamin B2}, folic acid), semisweet chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate, cocoa butter, dextrose, soy lecithin - an emulsifier), sugar, soy bean oil and/or partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, high fructose corn syrup, leavening (baking soda and/or ammonium phosphate), salt, whey (from milk), natural and artificial flavor, caramel color.

Our ingredients: Butter (cream, natural flavoring), sugar, brown sugar (sugar and molasses), egg, vanilla (water, organic alcohol, extracts of organic vanilla beans), white flour (unbleached wheat flour, malted barley flour {a natural yeast food}, niacin {a B vitamin}, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate {vitamin B1}, riboflavin {vitamin B2}, folic acid {a B vitamin}), salt, oats, baking soda, semisweet chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla extract). A little disturbed, we're making plans to shorten that list.
