What is the difference between ´всё пече́нье´ and ´ все пече́нья´ to mean all the cookies? Can I say ты сожра́л все пече́нья? Thanks.

Hello Anita,
While the plural form of “печенье” exists, it is more common to use the singular form as if it was something uncountable (like milk, for example).
So the only difference is that “всё печенье” is a more common way to say it, however both can be used and are correct.
It is one of the oddities of the Russian language that has no logical explanation. 🙂
