Cookie ish? It's all in the butter.
Huh. That's the first time I've seen the word "butterfat" outside of a dairy farm context.
(Cows produce milk with varying percentages of butterfat. The higher the butterfat content, the better, as farmers get paid more for high butterfat milk.)
Will Clocky come out of hiding in a few minutes after it starts ringing again, so that grumpy people don't pull out their pistols?

I was about to post almost exactly this. I think of it as a culinary term, not a farming one. (It's really important to know butterfat percentages when you're dealing with recipes from other countries because heavy cream in the UK and heavy cream in the US mean *vastly* different things.)
JZ, how is matilda's sotto voce? She strikes me as thusly inclined at maybe a quick learner in the arts. Really.
Not JZ, but Matilda's got an excellently conspiratorial whisper.
Butterfat content is also used to determine Super Premium ice creams. Where in the classic American equation, more is more.

Kat, you rock for finding this! I suspected the butter was the reason this year's cookies weren't as structurally sound as last year's, but now I know why. Thanks!
Time's Man of the Year is (like you don't already know) Barack Obama. They also have a great collection of photos taken when he was a freshman at Occidental College.
