brownie stuffed cookies are thing in a thing and are quite delicious.

Good point! But are they stuffed with a full brownie or just some brownie? Because if it's not an entire brownie (which I know is kind of like saying "How long is a piece of string?") then, I think it's stuff-in-a-thing. I think a better example than I used in the post is the difference between ravioli stuffed with pumpkin vs ravioli stuffed with a pumpkin. Nouns that can be either countable or uncountable seem to confuse the issue, but I think my theory still holds true.

Unless you tell me the cookies are stuffed with full brownies, in which case my whole thesis is crumbling!

crumblingтАж i what you did there! ЁЯШЙ

maybe sweets and desserts are their own beast living outside of your theory, because while i canтАЩt say for certain it was a whole brownie in there, i can say iтАЩve had a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with a entire oreo. #noregrets
