Killing the Christmas Spirit…
December 16th, 2007I’m not sure what struck me to do so, but I sat down with a calculator and a sheet of paper and figured out how many calories were in each Christmas cookie Kell was making:
- 12 servings of Crisco - 110 cal, 12g total fat, 3g sat. fat per serving
- 63 servings of brown sugar - 15 cal per serving
- 23 servings of chocolate chips - 80 cal, 4.5g total fat, 2.5g sat. fat per serving
- 5 servings of flour - 100 cal, 0.5g total fat per serving
- trace amounts of salt, milk and egg
And the totals? 4605 calories, 250g total fat, 93.5g sat. fat per batch and the recipe makes three dozen…drumroll please: 128 calories, 7g total fat, 2.6g saturated fat per cookie…per fucking cookie…

Sometimes you have to choose your battles, man. Christmas cookies are too darn good! (And the healthy versions are usually pretty crappy) Just enjoy (embrace) the cookies and work out a little harder for it later. You know what I was thinking when you wrote that smack about Kelley’s cookies? Sounds yummy!!!
PS I am doomed this holiday season. Oink Oink
I agree….I LOVE cookies!!!!
He did forget to mention that I made them with 100% organic whole wheat flour…and surprisingly delicious!
oh, just because I know how many calories are in them didn’t stop me from eating 10 ;)
Garrett…you silly boy! Christmas cookies don’t actually HAVE any calories! That is the Christmas magic at work. Don’t worry about it, have 10 more!
Stupid christmas ruiner…
I keep trying to write a comment about your christmas cookie blog and it doesn;t show up. Then when I try to say it again it says I already said that. (then I say “I FUCKING KNOW I ALREADY SAID THAT! i’VE SAID IT 3 FUCKING TIMES. YOU, STUPID COMPUTER, ARE THE ONE WHO DOESN’T REALZIE i ALREADY SAID IT OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!!!”)
Okay, so my original comment was “stupid christmas ruiner”
Oh, nevermind, you already wrote that
oh my…
I just ate 3 cookies and I think the sugar went straight to my brain. How much sugar is in a christmas cookie anyhow? You didn’t tell us that scroogey mchealthnut did you? By the way, I’m taking offense to that “oh my” comment. I know there was some blonde comment running through your mind and I’m going to beat your ass (don’t worry tho, I’ll save it for real life rather than warbook…I know that would hurt more). My frustrations are REALLY building up because when I left those comments at 10:55 and 10:56 I got some goddamn wordpress message that I was posting comments too quickly. Who the hell are they to tell me how quickly I should post comments? I should be able to post comments AS QUICKLY AS I GODDAMN PLEASE! DAMMIT! Who the hell is wordpress anyhow? Must be the fucking man. I hate the man, hate him. Tired of people telling me what to do (insert pouty face and stomping feet).
“lawlz”, you’re trying to spam my blog!
carbs (sugar or otherwise, all simple and turned into the same juice inside your body) have 4 calories per gram, fat 9. so, 128 - 63 calories from fat = 65 calories from carbs. If I had to take a wild guess, I’d say that the carbs are probably half refined sugar. So, 25% carbs, 25% sugar, 50% fat = 100% delicious!
