    My Costco has an 810 calorie chocolate chip cookie. When I first saw that I was like how tf do you cram the better part of 1000 calories into ONE cookie lol

      Science! That feels like those extremely strong nicotine pouches, it’s just too much of the good stuff crammed into one small thing.

      Fat is the most calorie-dense food available. So that’s one big piece of butter mixed with sugar, some flour, aromas, and cacao fat.

        Yeah if you’ve ever made your own sugar cookies, you start them by taking a warm stick of butter and folding in several cups of sugar.
