The name ‘cracker’ usually refers to savory or salty flat biscuits made of flour and water with or without leavening and shortening, unsweetened or semisweet. Crackers come in a lot of varieties and generally have a hard bite, low moisture content and long shelf-life.
The term cookie is used for sweet snacks including limited water and a high sugar and shortening content. Cookies and crackers are generally produced on Sobatech’s medium shear mixing systems and require between 2 and 8 Wh/kg to be correctly developed.
