Rulings
As Tough Cookie's second ability resolves, the target permanent keeps any other types and subtypes it had before it became an artifact creature.
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.
