Pregnancy guidance
LimitShortbread cookies are safe for pregnant women to enjoy on occasion, though intake should be limited. They provide enriched riboflavin and iron, but traditional recipes are packed with butter, resulting in high saturated fat and calorie density. The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend minimizing high-fat baked goods in favor of nutrient-rich snacks. Savor a single crisp piece of shortbread alongside a cup of decaffeinated tea.
