What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Cookie type: Meringue → Chocolate cookieMix-ins: + Chocolate chipsFiller: + Nut spreadGlaze: + Dark chocolate
  • Meringue is whipped air and egg white — pure sugar, yet the lightest cookie per gram (~380 kcal per 100 g) because it carries almost no fat.
  • The loaded cookie stacks fat on fat: butter in the dough, oil in the hazelnut filling, cocoa butter in the glaze — landing at ~500+ kcal per 100 g like a sandwich cookie.
  • Most cookies fall within a calorie-dense range of 340–500 kcal per 100 g, so the number of cookies often matters more than the recipe.
