I've reacted to the Stella D'oro cookies also-especially the mixed
cookie assortment. There's been some past discussion of this list that
many milk allergic people are unable to tolerate the Kosher Pareve baked
goods. (I also had problems after stocking up on treats at the Pareve
bakery.) I've heard that brown sugar is made by spraying molasses on
sugar with a lactose containing solution and always wondered if this is
the problem with the Kosher baked goods. I've made desserts at home
substituting molasses for brown sugar and tolerate those better.
(Although I've also read some molasses contains lactose so this may not
be the answer.)

This is my first time responding on this list-I glad to know I'm not the
only one who can't eat Stella D'oro cookies.
