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

    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.

    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.

    “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.

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

    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…

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.
