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

I accept all cookies.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 30 points 9 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.

[–] Skyhighatrist@lemmy.ca 11 points 9 months ago

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

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

Yep. This is me

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 11 points 9 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.

[–] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 11 points 9 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.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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...

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago
[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 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.

[–] leanleft@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

question: how hard is it to make basic cookies?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 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.

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

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

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.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

How many cookies are there?

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 4 points 9 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.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

All of them

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

Tomorrow I will do it again.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

As many as will fit

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 3 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

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

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

How many ae there?

[–] sodalite@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 months ago
[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 9 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.

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

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

[–] PoliticallyIncorrect@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It depends of which kind of cookies..

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Two.

One, or half of one if they are big.

Chips, crisps, on the other hand...

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It depends on place and context but all of them.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

throw some nutella between 2 cookies

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 9 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.

[–] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 2 points 9 months 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

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (5 children)

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

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

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 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…

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 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.

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago
[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 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...

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 1 points 9 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.
