Cookies on cookie dough is one ingredient in two states, baked and unbaked. That's the whole idea. The swirl carries the baked one and the dough pieces the raw one, and they behave differently in the spoon: one dissolves, one stays chewy. Dough sold to be eaten raw has to deal with the flour as well as the egg, since raw flour is the E. coli risk that gets overlooked in the usual warning. The pieces here are built to stay chewy at freezer temperature, a different job again from anything destined for an oven. The base is caramel and not vanilla. That's a decision about sweetness: three of the four elements here are sweet and soft, and a caramel base owns that instead of pretending it's something else.
