How many cookies do you typically eat?

NOTE: All I had were 5 cookies just now. I was just wondering: not trying to eat them all.

56

In a given day? 0 Any given week? 0 In a given month? 0

But, on the occasion that there are cookies and I do eat cookies, I will eat no less than half the pack. And if they're Oreos, after about 20 my tongue gets greasy and I lose the taste for them.

Yep me too. I don't eat cookies often, but when I do. All of the cookies!

"We must stop eating!" cried Toad, as he ate another. "Yes," said Frog, reaching for a cookie, "we need will power." (Frog and Toad Together)

That's me when I have good cookies.

I don't buy them anymore, same with candy and most other snacks. I know what happens once that stuff enters the house: I eat it all in a few days. The easiest place to stop this is in the supermarket when I consider buying the stuff.

It depends. Are we talking home made chocolate chips or are you thinking something more like Oreos, prepackaged smaller sized units?

1 more...

ALL OF THEM! NO COOKIE IS LEFT BEHIND!

My high score is around 4 packets in around 20 minutes.

That's why I stopped buying cookies...

I stop when I run out or feel disgusted in myself.

All the cookies.

Nah, it depends on the cookie.

Not necessarily even the size. But the kind of cookie. Oreos? Three or four, with milk. Chocolate chip? That's my weakness. I make two types; the more traditional where I have to make myself stop at three, but could finish a dozen. And there's the kind that levain bakery made famous. One cookie is almost an inch thick, three to four inches around, and packed full of chips. I can barely finish one, but would otherwise gorge myself.

I have to be careful making chocolate chip cookies. Store bought? Two or three, depending on size. Usually with milk.

Something more like murder cookies, one or two. They're so good it's absurd, but they're very satisfying without flipping whatever switch it is that makes chocolate chips nigh addictive.

But nilla wafers? Fuck me. A dozen, easy, because as good as they are, they're kinda "empty".

Don't get me started on cookies lol.

It depends on how big the packet is. Usually I have a few, then “just one more”, then “just another one”, and then suddenly the packet is empty.

question: how hard is it to make basic cookies?

Peanut butter cookies take 3 ingredients and literally 15 minutes from the moment you decide to make them to the moment you stick the still-too-hot cookie in your mouth.

Not very. 10 minutes making the dough. 2 to roll into little balls and flatten slightly with fork. About 12 to bake.

You don’t need to flatten them. The heat alone from the oven will melt them into disks

Depends on the consistency (and temperature pre-baking) of the dough, some are made to hold their shape rather than expand/flatten in the oven.

If cookies are in fact the same as what we call biscuits, you can basically make a crumble mixture (2 parts flour, one part butter, one part sugar, plus any adjuncts you want) then bind it in your hands like you would a snowball, then roll it into a thick sausage, cut quarter-inch-thick discs out of the sausage, and bake them at 160°C for between 15 and 30 minutes depending how good your oven is. They harden as they cool. Easy peasy.

Depending on the size, usually 4 at a time. If they're those big ones from Costco, then just two.

I generally prefer salty snacks over sweet ones though.

1/4 of the box, no matter the size...

Definitely depends on the cookie. Fresh baked chocolate chip, 2. Oreos, one row.

I don't like Oreos better, it's just that they feel more disposable.

Depends on the kind but I typically stop at two. After that it makes me feel like I should exercise.

Two.

One, or half of one if they are big.

Chips, crisps, on the other hand...

1 row, unless I am not paying attention and grab a few from the wrong row too.

For months its been 0, but i just recently bought some.

Homemade peanutbutter cookies with milk, 6 or 7... or sometimes I get savage and just stand at the counter eating them untill someone stops me

None - ever. With the exception of Sesame Street and the internet my life is cookie free. Now, as for biscuits that’s a different story…

Depends on the cookie.

My homemade chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies I tend to eat around 3 per...eating?

Oreos are until they're all gone so I have to like, not get them. Same with thin mint cookies.

Other cookies it really depends on how big they are.

I always try to leave an even number in a package and the number that is divisibly the most useful.

Usually one or two of they are home made, 3-4 if it's packages cookies like chips ahoy.

Girl scout cookies however...

Depends on the cookie and what I'm trying to achieve.

Chocolate chip? Zero unless it's uncooked dough, and I will be quietly annoyed that chocolate chip cookies were chosen.

Lofthouse sugar cookies from the supermarket? With the frosting and lethal amounts of sugar? A lot.

Lofthouse's birthday cake flavored sugar cookie with that weird French vanilla flavor and even more sugar that's like an orgasm in cookie form? As much as I can afford to buy. I've been trying to eat no more than three at a time simply because I don't want to blow all my money, but it's so good.

Depending on their size, but usually no more than 3 pieces in any one afternoon tea setting.

4, depending on their size. 2 if it’s subway cookies.

Subway cookies? Shoo'. 3. Max out the bulk deal, scarf'em.

I used to eat a bunch from the 12 pack, but my stomach can't handle them anymore. So I stick to 2 now unfortunately.

I'm sorry, twelve...pack? American Subway?

Canadian. You can get a dozen for $8 or $9 CAD. I believe you can also get a 3 dozen platter for $25CAD.

lmfao, I think the max deal here in Sweden is 3? Last time I was in there anyway, from what I remember. Stay healthy, friends! 🍪 🇨🇦❤️🇸🇪

None - I’m diabetic.

But before I popped for it, I would eat too many cookies. Those & doughnuts were my two biggest weaknesses.
