Dunkin’ Donuts Brown Sugar Cookie Frozen Coffee Has 1030 Calories. What’s in It?

‘Tis the season for holiday-themed drinks at coffee shops. 

Coffee chain Dunkin’ Donuts officially unveiled its holiday menu Wednesday, which features the new Spiced Cookie Coffee, as well as several returning seasonal flavors including the Brown Sugar Cookie Frozen Coffee, Peppermint Mocha and Cookie Butter Cold Brew. 

A large Brown Sugar Cookie Frozen Coffee takes the cake for being the most caloric  with 1030 calories, according to Dunkin’s official nutrition guide. 

For reference, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend somewhere between 1,800 and 3,000 calories depending on sex, age and activity level. For someone consuming 2,000 calories a day, this could put you just over half the allotted amount for the day. 

The drink is also packed with 153 grams of sugar. That’s more than six times the amount of daily sugar recommended for women by the American Heart Association, and more than four times the amount recommended for men. 

Dunkin’ has not made caffeine content for any of its holiday drinks available online. (Dunkin has not returned a request for comment about the amount of caffeine these drinks contain.) Though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires chains to make menu nutrition facts publicly available, it does not have the same rules for publishing caffeine levels. 

While the other seasonal drinks contain substantially fewer calories and sugar, they still have high amounts of both. For example, the Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte contains 74 grams of sugar — roughly the equivalent of eating two and a half Snickers bars. And the Cookie Butter Cold Brew has more sugar than an entire bag of Skittles. 

Here’s a closer look at the Brown Sugar Cookie Frozen Coffee, as well as the nutritional breakdown for Dunkin’s four other holiday coffee options.
