Most big cookies weigh about 4 to 6 ounces. That’s the size of a hamburger patty. We’re eating dessert that looks like lunch.
There’s a famous chain—Levain Bakery in New York—that sells cookies weighing nearly 6 ounces each. Their chocolate chip cookie has 440 calories. But it’s so gooey, you forget to count.
Other bakeries sell "Texas-sized" cookies that hit 800 calories. That’s almost half your daily intake in one sweet bite.
