They are a different type of cookie of course, but it doesn't help to know that a serving has 10 g of carb when we don't know how many cookies are in a serving. I was under the impression that the reason they put the amount of carb etc. on labels was to make it easier for those who do have dietary problems to make sure that they can eat healthy. Kinda defeats the purpose if they don't give you clear information on how much a serving is of a given food.

The purpose of a cookie company is to make as much money as possible by selling as many cookies as they can. Confusing the customer might be part of the strategy.
How to find out the weight of one cookie without using scales: Divide net weight of package by number of cookies in package.
