Hey, /an/. A couple of hours ago, my dog snatched 1-2 cookies from the counter, and since then she's been really hyper and is breathing very heavily. No puking or anything like that, but I'm still worried.
The chocolate in the cookies was a ghiradelli, 70% dark chocolate baking bar. The whole bar was cut into the mix but there was only a bit in each cookie.
How worried should I be? Sorry, I know this isn't a vet but I'm just worried and I thought I would check before I tried finding a vet open this late on Christmas.

Those are two symptoms that do indeed show when a dog has consumed chocolate.
Baking chocolate is one of the chocolates with the highest amounts of theobromine in it, which is what's poisonous to doggies.
Induce vomiting as much as you can, try to get him to drink water.
Here's a calculator on this website to help see what the severity is:

Sorry OP, Merry Christmas.
