To burn it off
Cookies and biscuits are flour, butter and sugar, so they're mostly carbs and fat. Chocolate chips add a bit more of both.
A big cookie from a bakery or coffee shop is 280 kcal. An ordinary biscuit is 75, so two with a cup of tea is 150.
The coffee shop cookie looks like a snack and is closer to a small meal. The biscuit tin is where most of us lose count.
Tips
- 1Have two biscuits on a plate, not the packet next to the kettle.
- 2Split the big bakery cookie with someone, or keep half for tomorrow.
- 3Dunk them, they somehow feel like more.
Where it comes from
The chocolate chip cookie was born in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, where Ruth Wakefield chopped up a Nestlé chocolate bar for her dough. The pieces kept their shape instead of melting, and Nestlé printed her recipe on its packaging in exchange for chocolate for life. The word cookie comes from Dutch koekje, little cake.
