I might be stupid, but doesn’t “double” mean there’s more of it?

    Chocolate chip vs chocolate chocolate chip

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

    Not supporting this marketing, because its bullshit. but

    They could double the chocolate but also double the cookie dough

    Thus technically you’re getting double, and its still 40% of the cookie.

    Its just you also get double the dough.

    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.

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

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