Did you know the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie weighed over 40,000 pounds? It had 3 million calories. That’s enough energy to power a human for over a year. Or run a marathon for 1,000 days.
Here’s another: a single large cookie has more sugar than a can of soda. And more fat than a slice of cheesecake. You are eating dessert inside dessert.
Professional bakers use high-heat butter. It’s 100% fat with no water. That ups the calorie density even more. Your home-made version is a lightweight in comparison.
