Double chocolate

I might be stupid, but doesn't "double" mean there's more of it?

Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it "double" chocolate.

Definitely could be clearer, but I don't think they're making the claim you think they are.

Yeah, that's what a double chocolate cookie tends to be!

Then there's triple, which usually has a devil's food cookie with two kind of chocolate pieces.

That makes sense, but why wouldn't they include that chocolate in the percentage?

Might be referring to the percentage of the chocolate itself, denoting how “dark” it is.

My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don't contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.

I could be wrong, but maybe 40% of the cookie by mass is chocolate chips? Like a 1 gram cookie containing 400 mg of chocolate chips?

Not to be rude but...

clears throat

the absolute FUCK is a vanilla cookie? I am a certified fatass and I've never heard of anything remotely like that.

Or do you mean 'a regular fucking cookie'? Either way, it's shit product packaging.

clears throat again

Thank you.

Yes.

The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.

Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.
