My 50 pound lab ate approximately 30 chocolate chip cookies approximately 2.5 hours ago. What should I do?

To be clear: I meant take her in on an emergency basis if necessary because your regular clinic isn't open. Regardless, I think she needs to be seen ASAP.

I would recommend taking her in for vet care on an emergency basis if necessary. It's really hard to know how much chocolate is in 30 cookies, but let's say a whole 12 oz bag was used to make a 36 cookie batch (approximately). At your dog's size this would (at minimum) produce GI signs like vomiting and diarrhea, and it could be quite severe. It's too late to make her vomit, as the chocolate is in her intestines at this point, but giving activated charcoal to absorb the chemical in the GI tract and also providing medications to treat gastroenteritis would be a good idea.
