Cheapest "CHiP" cookies (12 months * 'classic'): $0.88/cookie
Premade Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough: $0.11/cookie
Frozen homemade cookie dough, ingredients cost fudged up x2: $0.08/cookie
But, the true cost of homemade dough is much higher: We're well-paid unicorn startup employees, so the value of our time brings up the cost to like $1.44 per cookie.
And buying premade cookie dough from Walmart lowers our earning potential inordinately, because it's trashy and trashy people don't get hired by unicorn startups.
Finally, the CHiP Oven won't become another useless kitchen appliance that takes up space, because with slight modifications we can also use it for making tortilla espanolas and reflowing PCBs.
Plus, home baked cookies don't last for more than a couple days, so to make a big batch would be wasteful if you live with only one or two people.
Personally, I agree that buying a 4-cookie oven is a silly conceit, especially when you have have an oven in your own house. I might buy their dough, though. I'm fairly lazy and don't want to come up with a recipe...
