    you have clearly spent too much time thinking about this subject
    Gurrrrrumph!

    "bad" carbs have safe words.
    good carbs don't know what a safe word is.
    True story.

    That cookie looks as big as your head.....VERY good Carb.

    They're actually rather small...however, they do have a family-sized one that's about as big as a large pizza. With that one you have the option of 4 different flavors of cookie and there are 7 scoops of ice cream. I believe it's called the "Diabetic Coma" on the menu; but I could be mistaken...

    If by "family-sized" you mean it feeds just me and by "4 different flavors" you mean chocolate chip, then we are on to something here

    White chocolate macadamia nut is an approved good carb.

    Why is a macadamia OK and other nuts not - you are being a bit nutist!

    as far as ice cream cakes go would Carvel Ice cream cake with the crunch in the middle be a good carb?

    Someone on my FL suggested this too- I honestly don't know. More research needs to be done. But frozen cake is still nasty.

    Totes good carb - no soggy cake involve!

    I must not have been clear about the nuts rule- nuts don't belong in CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies. Other flavors can have nuts. White chocolate macadamia is a well balanced good carb. This is why I offered to help- the rules can get really confusing.

    any rule that excludes walnuts + chocolate chips is a rule made to be broken. no safe word. this cookie just says "eat me". and means it.

    So a chocolate cookie is ok to have nuts in it but not a chocolate chip one?

    White Chocolate- definitely.
    Regular chocolate chip with nuts- bad carb.

    Though that picture WinnerVictorious just posted is making me think twice. But again, this is about science, not my preferences.

    You can get just chocolate chip..

    Or...you can get the sampler...3 regular sized pizookies...although, that could be considered the "diet" version. And that would make it a bad carb...

    I'm seriously offended that I have never heard of this BJ's place before. Around here BJ's is a costco-like bulk store.

    The pizookie at BJ's, where does it fall? I plan on getting one this weekend. Yay or nay?

    pizookie.gif

    Which pizookie are we talking about? The list includes:

    chocolate chip
    peanut butter
    white chocolate/macadamia
    oatmeal raisin walnut
    oreo
    red velvet
    raspberry white chocolate almond
    triple chocolate made with Ghirardelli chocolate

    HOW DARE YOU.

    There is chocolate chip, and there are imposters. Choose wisely.

    I have cheated with the red velvet...I hang my head in shame :embarassed:

    White Chocolate Macadamia. 'Nuff said.

    Bean, BJs is a restaurant and brewery in SoCal. (I personally don't go there for the beer.) The Pizookie is their signature dessert (because they also tout their excellent "Chicago-style" deep dish pizza. It's pretty good, but it's still west coast pizza.) everyone should have a Pizookie before they die. It should be mandatory.

    ETA: There are no BJs Cost Club stores around here that I know of. (My sister in PA has a membership, though, so I've been to one before.) We have Costco. (They do not sell Pizookies.)
