I might be stupid, but doesn't "double" mean there's more of it?

Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it "double" chocolate.

Definitely could be clearer, but I don't think they're making the claim you think they are.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what a double chocolate cookie tends to be!

Then there's triple, which usually has a devil's food cookie with two kind of chocolate pieces.

[–] asm_x86@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That makes sense, but why wouldn't they include that chocolate in the percentage?

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Might be referring to the percentage of the chocolate itself, denoting how “dark” it is.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don't contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I could be wrong, but maybe 40% of the cookie by mass is chocolate chips? Like a 1 gram cookie containing 400 mg of chocolate chips?

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would assume double chocolate means chocolate dough and chocolate chips. Double in essence, not in quantity. And 40% is referring to how many chocolate chips are in the dough.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's milk chocolate the 40% is likely cacao content of the chocolate, not the percentage by volume in the dough

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Only way to know is if OP shows the ingredients. That brand of frozen cookie dough, however, uses dark chocolate chips for the double and milk for the standard, so it's unlikely.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Double chocolate if the cookies are chocolate and the chips are chocolate.

It's been this way forever (I'm about 50).

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chocolate chip vs chocolate chocolate chip

Twice as many things have chocolate in it (the chips vs the chips and dough)

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It still says 40% chocolate on both packages though.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Perhaps that's the level of chocolate? Like you can have 90% dark chocolate, this is 40%.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I get how it would be frustrating for people who are reading it literally for the first time but I don't think it was worded like that to be deceptive. Baked goods don't have the most accurate names (Red Velvet comes to mind) and Chocolate Chocolate Chip/Double Chocolate Chip is a pretty common cookie

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I my (extensive) cookie experience, double chocolate usually means the same amount of chips, but the dough part is also chocolate flavoured. Hard to tell in this instance, but the "double" cookies may be a shade darker.

[–] KingOfNexus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In cookie lingo, double chocolate means the cookie dough is chocolate flavoured as well as having choc chips. Triple chocolate means the chocolate dough with choc chips also has a chocolate coating on the bottom.

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No... chocolate coating is usually referred to as "dipped." Triple chocolate cookies are usually (but not always) chocolate dough with chocolate and white chocolate chips.

[–] asm_x86@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you, i did not know that

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

unless 40% is caocoa content of the chips.

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Does it maybe mean 40% cacao content chocolate?

[–] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bender: “I’m 40% chocolate!”

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I heard him knocking on his chest after reading.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Double chocolate

I might be stupid, but doesn't "double" mean there's more of it?

So, you're saying maybe 50%?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 1 year ago

Could also be two different types of chocolate (adding up to the same amount overall). Both packages are 225g, so the overall weight is certainly not doubled.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's choc-flation for you.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not double chocolate.

It's double choc

Which I'm sure is some marketing weasel word that has nothing to do with chocolate

[–] TriPolarBearz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
