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)

      It still says 40% chocolate on both packages though.

        Perhaps that’s the level of chocolate? Like you can have 90% dark chocolate, this is 40%.

        I get how it would be frustrating for people who are reading it literally for the first time but I don’t think it was worded like that to be deceptive. Baked goods don’t have the most accurate names (Red Velvet comes to mind) and Chocolate Chocolate Chip/Double Chocolate Chip is a pretty common cookie
