    Of course. It probably isn't a lot of calories, but if you eat/drink something with calories, they all count. If your cookies absorb a lot of milk, and it's whole milk, it might add up, besides.

    Some people choose to do their calorie counting in a more approximate way, and not bother logging things with small numbers of calories, like lettuce on a sandwich or something. For me, it takes less thought and effort just to log everything, rather than deciding which things to log. YMMV.

    Lots of things people don't think of at first have quite a few calories, like mayo on a sandwich, oil used in cooking, butter on bread, etc.

    If you have a food scale, you could weigh the glass of milk before and after eating your cookies and weigh the difference.
