People think gluten-free or vegan big cookies are better. Not really. They often use coconut oil, almond flour, and dates—still dense calorie bombs.
Coconut oil has more fat than butter per gram. A vegan cookie can easily hit 500 calories. It’s not a diet; it’s a different indulgence.
And the "small batch" artisan ones? They use premium butter and Belgian chocolate. Expensive? Yes. Calorie difference? Zero.
