Final cookie count
On Cookie Baking Day 2009, we baked 1,660 cookies:
131 Crescents
84 Raspberry Logs
92 Sugar Cookies
120 Cream Wafers
125 Molasses Crinkles
139 Macaroons
122 Mint Chocolate Krinkles
11 Cream Cheese Plum Pockets
110 Peanut Butter Blossoms
239 Thumbprints
130 Snowballs
125 Refrigerator Cookies
140 Snickerdoodles
Why doesn't the total count match up with the sum of the individual counts? Because we maintain two counts. The first count is number of cookies placed on the cookie table. Some of these cookies disappear (they get eaten) before the second count, which is the number of each type of cookie.

Behind the scenes: model cookies
Perhaps you've noticed that Cookie Baking Day cookies are remarkably consistent in size and shape. How do our Cookie Makers do this? They use model cookies. Here is a model Cresent:
