happy fathers day sheltie. life is about enjoying all the flavors of food. your cookies sound divine! cheers!!!
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.

I'm with you. I need 36 cookies like I need more rocks in my head.
You can probably scale the recipe down and make just 6 cookies.
I've found that if I take a recipe and divide it and get about 3 TBS of butter total (1/4th cup is 4 TBS).... that will make about 6 cookies. Also, it seems that MOST cookie recipe servings are divisible by six (24, 36, 48).
I've done this with MANY cookie recipes now and get good results.
I scaled this brownie recipe for 6 brownies and made them in a loaf pan last weekend and they came out AWESOME. (It helps that it is in the computer, and I just had to put in 6 servings. I also switch it to "metric" and just measure everything on a food scale. Very easy.) It was still megacalories... but very worth it. And we each ate a brownie and I froze the other 3.
Yea, I was so thrilled to hear about this...cuz guess what I had all last week? That's right--Toll House Cookie dough. I made 2 cookies a day and ate a 3rd in raw dough. D'oh. You just never know what's gonna getcha.
1st Qtr. 2010 Goals: 1. Continue gym 3X week until it is a habit. 2. Read, write, sew or craft at least 30 mins. per day. 3. Regain control over eating > 8 p.m.

Dh just asked, "What's so funny?" Nothing like a little potty talk!
