In the realm where cookies are more than a treat, Gluttony's presence is no small feat. Too many to count, yet one holds the key, Devour the right one, and the answer in base you'll see.

If you viewed the html source code of the page (viewable by right-clicking and clicking ‘View Source’ in browsers) you would see this comment:

<!-- vig |  UOKzHRpeSEYrBRL2GJn4CWzlVBKiGbT4APY4TtU3FLO3AwG1YsT2GmNvSOwzGRxeUOOzHRxeSECrBRpxOOw1BWu0VBm3TXXqAvY3UNU4FVO4ZQG2XMT2FE== -->

‘vig’ indicates the Vigenère cipher, a method of encrypting alphabetic text using a key. CyberChef is a useful online encoding and decoding tool. If you choose the ‘Vigenere Decode’ option, set the key to ‘GLUTTONY’ as suggested by the riddle, set the input as:

UOKzHRpeSEYrBRL2GJn4CWzlVBKiGbT4APY4TtU3FLO3AwG1YsT2GmNvSOwzGRxeUOOzHRxeSECrBRpxOOw1BWu0VBm3TXXqAvY3UNU4FVO4ZQG2XMT2FE==

and then add further recipes which decode from Base64, then from Decimal, then from Base64 again (or use this pre-populated link) you end up with:

MjA5
OTc=
MTc2
MjM=

This indicates something split into 4 parts. If you decode each line from Base64 again (pre-populated link) you get:

</aside>

This has the potential format of an IPv4 Address. If you place dots in between each number you get:
