I was wondering also. "Economico" sounds to me more like something affordable than a cheap one.

Can someone explain the use of "al" in this entence. Couldn't you say "biscotti cioccolato"?

2019-11-08 No. In Italian, the flavor of something is indicated by the preposition a. Additionally, we need the article with the noun: il cioccolato. Finally, the a and the il are contracted to al, so we have al cioccolato to tell us what flavor are the cookies.
