'less cookies' or 'fewer cookies' ?

[wotcha]

1. I should eat less cookies

2. I should eat fewer cookies.


Which is correct?

 

[SoothingDave]

Fewer. If you can count them, use "fewer." If it is uncountable, use "less."

 

[nyota]

Could you say, "I should eat cookies less"?

 

[SoothingDave]

Yes. As in "less often."
