Eating two beef patties and cheese and then nothing for five hours does not meet any of the techniques to control hypoglycemia listed in article linked above. Suggestions are to space eating 2-3 hours. Not more food but one patty at a time, eaten with a low glycemic carb and fiber, maybe half the cookie? Do not eat carbs by themselves and that cookie doesn't look to be low glycemic with all the wheat, sugar and soy and other grain ingredients. The goal is to stay ahead of the shakey-hungry stage.
Do you use a BG meter to test the foods you eat? That is take a reading 30 and 60 minutes after one of the cookies? Whole wheat noodles or any food you eat until to know your reaction to it.

By testing you could make a meal plan with both food content and timing that works for you to keep BG steadier.
Here's an article how to use a meter for weight loss but same would apply to using it as a tool to avoid hypoglycemia or improve any Metabolic distortion.
