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

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.

[–] Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. This is me

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

"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.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago
[–] souperk@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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...

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago
[–] leanleft@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

question: how hard is it to make basic cookies?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it leaves a cute little impression

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Tomorrow I will do it again.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 4 points 1 year ago

All of them

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How many cookies are there?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

As many as will fit

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sodalite@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago
[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Two.

One, or half of one if they are big.

Chips, crisps, on the other hand...

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How many ae there?

It depends of which kind of cookies..

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Sacabambaspis@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

throw some nutella between 2 cookies

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Girl scout cookies however...

[–] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago
[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It depends on place and context but all of them.

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

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.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago
[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

None - I’m diabetic.

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