Two Calk examples
The two versions compared on this page.
What causes the difference
In these two examples, the changes are: cookie type — meringue → chocolate cookie, mix-ins — added: chocolate chips, filler — added: chocolate-hazelnut spread, glaze — added: dark chocolate.
Cookie type: Meringue → Chocolate cookieMix-ins: + Chocolate chipsFiller: + Chocolate-hazelnut spreadGlaze: + Dark chocolate
- Meringue contains sugar and egg white but almost no fat. This version is roughly 380 kcal per 100 g.
- The filled cookie combines butter in the dough, oil in the hazelnut filling and cocoa butter in the glaze, taking it above 500 kcal per 100 g.
- Cookies are calorie-dense—340–500 kcal per 100 g here—so the number in a portion matters as much as the recipe.
