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

It depends on place and context but all of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

How many ae there?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

Girl scout cookies however...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

None - I’m diabetic.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Two.

One, or half of one if they are big.

Chips, crisps, on the other hand...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The whole pack, but I might have a pack once a year

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

question: how hard is it to make basic cookies?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah but it leaves a cute little impression

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

As many as will fit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

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! 🍪 🇨🇦❤️🇸🇪

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I admit it too. It was my plan from the very beginning.

Tomorrow I will do it again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It depends of which kind of cookies..

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Yep. This is me

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

With oreos, we refer to that as doing a line around my house.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

How stoned am I at the time, and how big are the cookies?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

throw some nutella between 2 cookies

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Near zero actually.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

"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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago

I accept all cookies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

How many cookies are there?
